Difference In Those Who Prefer Alien and Aliens

[El Chimpo]

Damn i love that gif lmao

 

[Jose Beehive]

This shit was cool

 

[Thrawn33]

I like Aliens like I like T2: (IMO) they were better at being an action flick than Alien and T1 were at being a sci-fi thriller/horror film.

That's not a knock on Alien or T1, but how their sequels found the franchises' true identity...(and then lost it .. but yeah.. )

Damn i love that gif lmao

Yeah its pretty great ngl

 

[Iroh]

I loved the Alien game I had on my Atari Lynx though.

 

[errol ansen]

They both suck, bruh.

 

[John Mabrey]

I've only seen alien and aliens this year, I liked the second one better. First was too slow

 

[aus101]

I like both but prefer Alien so your analysis holds up with me.

 

[Adamant]

It's definitely hard to choose. There's definitely certain aspects I like more about either film.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Aliens had the cooler scenes, but everything with the little girl was god awful IMO

 

[I Am Legion]

Alien is a slow burn classic. Aliens is an in your face action horror. Both are amazing, I am a huge fan of both in different ways.

Didnt like the acting or personality of the little girl or the whole premise of the little girl?

 

[Poser Caust]

I liked every movie in the franchise. Got the VHS box sets and the DVD box sets.

acting and premise. Found it be unnecessary slow filler.

 

[Rocco Siffredi]

Alien and Aliens is like the difference between TCM and TCM2. It is like 70s vs 80s.
I like Alien better. I like TCM2 better.

Alien is a work of art. Aliens is good 80s cheese (actually saw it in the movie theater back in the good old days).

 

[raty tat tat]

I love because they are different from each other.

"Aliens" is more of an action movie for action movie fans, and as such you're going to get a lot of opinions from them that "Alien" is "too slow" or "boring", as some simply can't appreciate the methodical nature of it.

In terms of crowds and what appeals to them, I would wager there a lot more pure cinema fans in the "Alien" camp with a far more diverse palette, so you don't see as much ignorance being spouted off about "Aliens" from them, as you sometimes see being said about "Alien" from certain "Aliens" fans.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Have no idea what you’re talking about TS. I slightly prefer Aliens but consider both masterpieces and have them both in my top 20 favourite movies.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Anyone who rags on Alien around me is is gettin a bat to the temple

Both are great,both are different.

Covid bat?

I was thinking this, the Alien lovers cast a wider net, maybe......
