Alien series: Best to worst now..

Imo

Classic:
Alien/Aliens - nothing between them (like T1/2 but 1 is the best imo)

Good:
Covenant - gets a bad rap but I liked it/easy 3rd best imo, its Ridleys return to full on Alien, felt like a truly adult film with lofty arty poetic stuff of Blade Runner (David going all Roy Batty), lots of Giger, Hammer, Frankenstein, Roman imagery, Wagner, the killer ending. but obviously some bad stuff in it like:
Prometheus - disappointing but its still Ridley, still a 2001 meets Alien scifi epic.
Alien3 - yeah its a huge let down after Aliens but its still the trilogy's doomed end, with 'cyberpunk' aesthetic in a Dante's Inferno like setting, and its Fincher.
Romulus - like an Alien 'Rogue 1' (or if they'd made an 'Alien 2' in early 80s before Cameron's Aliens) and an obviously mash of Alien/s (with bit of Prometheus/Covenant/Resurrection) - might go higher for me as time goes on (initially placed it above A3, but idk seems too much to put it above the OG trilogy end with Ripley)

Ok:
Resurrection - hated this when it came out, esp the off kilter humour. caught some the other night on TV , there's some cool 'Alien/s' stuff in it but not enough to overcome that disgusted disappointed feeling i had seeing it late 97
AvP - talking of mash of Alien/s (and pre Prometheus), its bad (and setting it on earth was unforgivable). but still kind of fun/well made.



Dire:
AvP:R - f'kin disgrace
