Alien Series

James Cameron did a good job with Aliens. The only way that movie can be improved is by putting out more footage from it. He might be an absolute sonofab in every other way but he does a good job directing movies.

Alien was good, in much the same way Star Wars 1 was good. George Lucas just wanted to make a movie and Ridley Scott just wanted to make a movie. There was a lot of leeway given to the actors; the script was just a guide to the plot.

Alien 3 wasn't horrible, but it's number three on my list. There were good things in it, and it was very.....raw. More gloomy than suspenseful.

Alien 4 was horrible. I don't even consider it. Who's that one shoplifting druggie skinny chick that was also in Beetlegeuse? She was worthless. The mercenary guy from Riddick -- I generally like his acting. Sigorney, meh. She's done better movies. The entire movie just blows; actors, script, plot, structure, director. The only way the movie could be improved would be to burn the negative and erase all references to it so that someone down the line won't have to deal with "intellectual property" issues when they attempt to make a good movie.
