Order your Favorite film from aliens franchise

[LTuser]

For me it would be
Aliens
Alien
Alien 3
Prometheus
Alien 4
Alien; covenant.


IF i had to include the 2 AvP's i would put the first between alien and alien 3, while the 2nd would go between prometheus and alien 4.

[Fallen Angel]

Times are tough man, Even alien monsters are getting it bad.

As for the order of my preference:

ALIEN
ALIENS
Covenant
Prometheus
ALIEN 3
Resurrection

I don't count AVP/AVP 2 in the same cannon.

Aliens
Alien 3: Assembly Cut (I did not watch the theatrical version)
Alien (I love the Ellen Ripley trilogy)
Alien vs Predator (an alright movie with some really neat ideas)
Alien Resurrection (bad, with moments I like. Too bad Christie dies, he's the best character in the movie)

Alien Covenant (boring and forgettable)




Prometheus (I really hate this movie)

3. Alien: Resurrection
4. Prometheus
5. Alien: Covenant
6. Alien 3

H/M to the first Alien vs Predator, which I like but don't count as canon (the second one is utter garbage).

What's the difference between those 2 versions??

 

[Doctor Jones]

Alien
Aliens
Alien: Resurrection
Prometheus

Alien 3

Assembly cut is 20 minutes or so longer, and it sounds like it includes some good stuff the theatrical release needed to improve.

 

[Mandon Knight]

The 'Assembly' cut or the Director's Cut is infinitely better than the cinematic version on Alien 3, would recommend people seek it out if not seen, it it a very different beast with the inserted footage. I can see why Fincher was so hacked off by the way it was so badly cut and edited for it's cinema release.

 

[Marvolo]

Yeah Fincher refuses to touch that film, but years ago an editor or someone put together the Assembly cut which is as close as we can get to the version Fincher was trying to make. The DVD releasee with the Assembly cut is in pretty bad shape. The footage isn't cleaned up so keep that in mind if you choose to watch the DVD version. But the bluray release of Alien 3 has a restored and cleaned up version of the Assembly Cut and looks really good.

Aliens. (My personal favorite film of all-time.)
Alien
Prometheus
Alien: Covenant
Alien: Resurrection
Alien 3

Alien 3 will always place last for me for:

Spoiler

Completely destroying the ending of Aliens with the death of Hicks, Ripley, Newt and Bishop.

 

[Marvolo]

I can respect the film for doing that. This isn't a series of happiness. Its one misery after another. The "fairy tale" ending of Aliens would have been fine if that had been the end of Ripley's story, but because they were making more Ripley movies I think Newt and Hicks had to die. Killing them essentially off screen in such an unceremonious way was a dick move but it was also a gut punch to the audience and Ripley and in an Alien film I think that's ok.

Cameron managed to respect the first film by not killing off

Spoiler

the only two survivors in Alien in his sequel so I don't see why Fincher couldn't have found a way to do the same.

AND a lot of people i known over the years REALLY GOT peeved that they killed Ripley in the end..

The rest are rubbish I don't care for at all.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Man...it is tough between Alien and Aliens. They're classics for different reasons and both solidly in my top 20 favorite films. I can't choose

Because he had no choice. The studio was puppet mastering him.

A lot.
