Is Aliens 1986 the best out of the franchise?

[85 East]

I've watched this entire franchise since I was a kid, and I don't understand how they haven't done another film with another set of Marines in it. The Marines with Ripley were slaughtering Aliens like they were insects. We need that again.

Shout out to Idris Elba though for smoking weed on his ship.

For me, it's the best action flick of all time. Maybe my favorite movie ever.

A lot of people prefer Alien but hardly anyone disses Aliens.

The horrorhead in me favors Ridley’s more, but Aliens is a great complementary piece.

I love how in that era there was a confidence to change the direction of a movie in its sequel and everyone was down as long as the shyt was fire

Terminator & terminator 2
First Blood and Rambo
Alien and Aliens

Rambo is the biggest change. If you never saw First Blood you'd be shocked.

In not so many words...

Yes. Aliens is the best out of the franchise.

Aliens, action, horror, suspense, drama, an electric ride from start to finish and the high point of the franchise.

Everything else was a complete nightmare for nearly the last 40 years....

I can’t say enough about first blood…of all 6 of the movies in my previous post, i only put predator above it, and on my all time list predator is 9 and first bood is 11, all time.

Alien Covenant has a lot of interesting subtext, nice design and horror/action.

Yeah it was some T2 shyt.

Alien is mega classic, changed the game. Which is the hallmark of classic material. Their DNA weaves into the zeitgeist into the future. That's actually the meaning and importance of classics. Game changers.

But Aliens just hit like a bomb. It was so ill. And much of what Aliens and Ripley brought to cinema went on to become standard in sci fi and action.

I wanna say Sarah Connor in T2 is in this vein. Need to Google the dates but fukc it. No Google. Hunger Games. Reeeeeeyyyy from "Star Wars". Tomb Raider. Fury Road.

Bad ass woman that's just mad ill with it. Not really even centered on her being female, but acknowledging her womanhood. Then she rips shop like a boss and stays ready.

Edit: Rey is definitely OD OP out of nowhere, but she was "just as nice" as the male force users that had been the focal point up til her. They went too far by making her just wake up one day with the soul glow.

Alien vs Predator isn't that bad actually and would probably receive better support if released today. Sanaa Lathan was really good in her role. I wish she got to do more of it.

Looking like Samus from Metroid.

Yes it is

Alien = Best horror in the franchise

Aliens = Best Action in the franchise

It went from a tale about the lasting effects of war to pure patriot porn

This was decent, but they need to shoot the film based on the source material they used.
