Anyone like this less now?

Absolutely not for me!

I am no obsessed fanatic but I love Aliens and probably always will. I saw it as a little kid when I was about 10 and fell in love with it. I became more aware of the greatness Alien (the first movie) soon after. I can appreciate the merits of both movies separately, however Aliens just has some extra magic for me.

I also love the production side of it and what they achieved with the movie technology they had at the time. One of the best commentaries you can listen to would be Aliens, especially for the cast joking around with each other.

As for Prometheus and Covenant, I enjoyed watching them the first times but they haven't held my interest when returning to them.

Drawn to Prometheus!? Go see your doctor, you are sick. In the head.

It is still brilliant as ever. One of these movies I consider timeless.

Wait... what?
"but the older I get, the more I’m drawn to the original Alien and Prometheus"
Profuckingmetheus? Really?

That movie is trash from start to finish...

Alien is insanely good. Every time I think about it, it kinda blows my mind how well put-together that film is. It's a visual essay on film. It's a poem about terror and the unknown. It's so human, and yet, so alien...

Aliens is a solid action flick. It's really cool. That's mostly what I can say. There's a neat "motherhood" theme explored that kinda elevates it, but it's not explored enough to really make the film go into A-level territory for me. Still, it does what it wants to do about as well as it could, so...it's great, it just can't touch Alien.

Prometheus I liked some parts and other parts kinda dragged or were silly ("Careful! This planet is unknown and might be dangerous! I'll just chase this extra-terrestrial snake around without a mask...") There were some neat themes and concepts that Prometheus started up, too, but it was half-baked. It sort of gives out answers, but not even enough to be intriguing, more just frustrating. I did like the film a LOT more than the first reviews would have implied I would. Most people I've talked to (or read reviews from) HATED Prometheus, but I kinda dug it, even though it frequently went off the rails. It's potential often outruns its actualized reality.

alien is better

Nah, Aliens holds up from a technical standpoint from start to finish, something that can't be said for most newer generation films.

I appreciate Aliens and Alien both differently for what they achieve: Alien for its technical masterpiece in filmmaking, set design, cinematography, and horror. Aliens for the fact that people didn't do readily stupid things, and it's probably the first action film set in a horror universe where the characters use common sense to out-wit and attempt to out-survive a vicious and relentless foe, aside from the original Predator and the first Terminator.

I can rewatch Aliens a lot more often than I can the first Alien. I can rewatch Alien maybe once every decade. I can rewatch Aliens maybe once every five years... or maybe even once every three years.

I could watch the original Alien weekly if I was on a deserted island with nothing else to watch. Whereas Aliens, I've seen it around 2 or 3 times over the years and could happily go the rest of my life without another viewing.

It's not that it's a bad film, it's just that certain elements (namely some of the cheesy Marine characters) puts me off the film a bit.

Nah, its always been steadily a 7/10 movie for me. I prefer the longer director's cut, altough I understand why some like the original theatrical cut more. Its an overrated piece of cinema, like its creator's movie career.
