    Ah, you'd think Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Joss Whedon can pump out a totally decent Aliens flick. Well, IMO, they came close. I think it needed one more blood-pumping action set piece, one less alien-human hybrid species (WTH was that about?), an increase in suspense (a notch or two, nothing crazy), and one less Winona Ryder.

    I'll still file this under "guilty pleasure", since I did like Whedon's space pirates characters (a sneak preview to what Whedon would do on Firefly), I thought the plot was intriguing, and I found the dialogue entertaining. Of course, it could have been more, but I don't hate it like many do.

      Editing … This one, while the worse in the series, still had a couple scenes that are among my favorite, for example the one where Ripley found the clones. And I also enjoyed the pirates too. And the hybrid alien was awesome :3

      Editing … I hated it. I keep saying this but it bears reiterating, the film is basically a zany French slapstick comedy in space that happens to have some aliens in it. But as I also keep repeating (mostly as a disclaimer of sorts), I'm not a particularly big fan of Jeunet's directing style so I'm biased anyhow.
