In my Opinion, I 100% agree with the rotten tomatoes rankings. I'd even say that the gab between the Top 3 and Prometheus is massive. I really don't like Prometheus. 🤣
Every time they've tried to take a new direction with this series, the subsequent follow-up film completely kills any of its momentum. Aliens = Alien3 AvP = Requiem Prometheus = Covenant Fingers crossed Romulus' follow-up breaks the trend.
I don't know why everyone hates Alien 3 😞 it's nowhere near as good as 1 & 2, but it closes off the series and makes a good trilogy.... Only alien Romulus deserves to be up there in the top 4... In my opinion of course 👽🍿🎬🤘
Just my ranking 🍿🫶👽 Aliens 1986 Alien 1979 Alien 3 Alien Romulus AVP part 1 Prometheus (Alien covenant, AVP part 2, and alien Resurrection.. Ummmm....👎LOL)
I watched it in Imax first, thoughtnit was average Watched it a second time streaming to see if i was missing something, thought it was even worse. Streamed it a 3rd time with a friend, dont think ill ever have to watch it again. Wish I could love it
I respect everyone’s opinion but I find it absolutely crazy that people think Alien 3 isn’t a top 5 Alien film. It’s a top 3 for me. Resurrection and the AVP films are garbage.
Just my ranking 🍿🫶👽 I agree with some of your ranking🙂 I have no idea why people hate Alien 3 so much😞 it's nowhere as good as one and two, but it closes off the series and is a great trilogy Aliens 1986 Alien 1979 Alien 3 Alien Romulus AVP part 1 Prometheus (Alien covenant, AVP part 2, and alien Resurrection.. Ummmm....👎LOL)
My favorite thing about AVP was that I got introduced to Alien, Aliens, and Predator right after by my grandpa (I was around 10 when it came out), and so it will always have a soft spot in my heart.
@@drinks_menu agreed. Alien 4 was utter nonsense. It didn’t have any logic to it, and it feels like they just threw in Winona Ryder so they could attract a bigger audience, but not because she was the right fit for the role. Plus, that ridiculous alien baby! 😂
@@KazunariGames it's better than you remember actually. Alien3 is a solid entry and is only bad because it has the deaths of Newt and Hicks at the start.
@@gojewla agreed. Alien Resurrection just doesn't feel like an Alien movie in any way. It's a fun popcorn flick but it has none of the tension, none of the great characters, none of the story quality that the originals had
The thing that makes the Alien series so hard to rank for me is the multiple cuts of each movie. I'd put them like this: 15. Alien Resurrection (Special Edition) 14. Alien Resurrection (Theateical Cut) 13. Aliens Vs. Predator Requiem (Theatrical Cut) 12. Alien 3 (Theatrical Cut) 11. Prometheus 10. Alien Vs. Predator (Theatrical Cut) 9. Alien Vs. Predator (Unrated) 8. Aliens Vs. Predator Requiem (Unrated) 7. Alien Covenant 6. Alien 3 (Assembly Cut) 5. Alien (Director's Cut) 4. Aliens (Special Edition) 3. Alien Romulus 2. Aliens (Theatrical Cut) 1. Alien (Theatrical Cut) I really enjoyed your video even if i disagree with a few things (I really don't like Prometheus)
1. You are the first one who sets rules for the comments which i can understand and am willing to follow 2. I love that you only have a myers mask as your background He was always like my mascot for horror itself 3. Alien romulus is by far my favorite movie in the alien franchise It simply has the best looks and the worldbuilding was nice too
100% agree with you!!!! Aliens is fantastic and very close to be number 1 but Alien is just perfection. Of all the movies, Alien is one that I can rewatch many times and not get bored or tired, is just so amazing every time. Also being it all practical effects and the time it was done, it’s just incredible how it looks and feels. Still stands to this day. A total masterpiece!
I basically feel like how you feel about Romulus. Even with the eyerolling bait, I did have fun for maybe 3/4 of the movie. I did love that they gave more scenes focusing on facehuggers than what we usually get. But like, the xenomorph is the perfect organism, the perfect monster. By having the offspring hybrid being the final scare it's like saying "ah, I guess the xenomorph isn't enough now". I walked out of the theater feeling a sense of loss, tbh. It made me feel like the offspring was the main meal and the xenomorph was a side dish. I can see why people love it, I truly do, but I would rather pretend the last part of the movie didn't exist.
The superhigh budget of Alien 3 wasn’t actually the budget of Alien 3. The film was stuck in development hell for years, with multiple scripts, rewrites, directors coming and going, sets being part built and scrapped, and all the costs of all those failed attempts to get going were lumped under the eventual film. That’s how it ends up with seemingly having triple the budget of Aliens.
I fckn LOVE how refreshing your takes are on movies. Nobody appreciates having tun with a movie anymore, its always about how 'good' they are, so it's really nice seeing somebody who appreciates horror movies for just having fun.
1. Alien 2. Prometheus 3. Aliens 4. Alien 3 5. Alien Covenant 6. Alien Romulus 7. Alien Resurrection I think all of them are great sci-fi films but some just work as a film better than others. This is coming from someone who has seen Romulus 7 times in theaters as of now! I loved Romulus but I feel it relied too much on callbacks and it was afraid to stand on its own.
Romulus is my top 2. Sorry for Aliens, I totally understand how important it is, but I just love Rain and Andy so much. Had a small heart attack when I heard you put 3 below Requiem tho lol
1. Aliens - Incredible blend of horror and action, great continuation of lore and character growth, great theme of motherhood, great effects and tense situations, best cast and lines 2. Alien - All time horror classic, amazing atmosphere, created a great terrifying monster and inspiring female lead 3. AVP - A FUN movie. Great action between the creatures, a couple decent human characters, fantastic effects, nothing amazing but fun all throughout 4. Romulus - amazing effects and look, some super tense scenes, a bit too familiar to the original 2 but closer to atmosphere I've been wanting to see 5. Resurrection - Stupid but fun, like the mercenaries, effects are decent, clone Ripley is funny but nothing compared to the original 6. Covenant - god gore and scares, good thought-provoking, but tries too hard to please everyone without pleasing anyone fully 7. Prometheus - Would be better not being related to this franchise, beautiful cinematography, very slow to the point of boredom, dumbest humans in the series 8. Alien 3 - Ruins the previous film's ending, very dull, terrible effects for the creature, not bleak in an interesting way, weakest Ripley performance and not used well 9. Requiem - too hard to see, terrible human characters
Thanks for sharing your list and in depth thoughts on each movie. I love reading stuff like this. It’s part of why I created this channel. To talk horror with other fans. Hell yeah!
My first video of yours and i truly respect the honest opinions that are actually different and understandable. Avp is in my personal top 3. Alien romulus pushed it out of ny top 3 until i rewatched it again and then boom jumped down to no5
@@MadBloodMatt If you have a VR headset and have the game on PC, I recommend installing the MotherVR mod (very easy install process) to play the game in VR (only important thing to note is to turn off screenspace reflections in the settings, they look weird in VR ^^;) Genuinely made the game even more pantsshittingly scary Did finish it in VR tho, was a blast!
Not seen AvP so will have to be the strictly Alien films: 1. Alien 2. Aliens 3. Alien Romulus 4. Alien 3 5. Prometheus 6. Alien Covenant 7. Resurrection
Romulus might be somewhat recycled, but I see it as a love letter to the franchise. There are many throwbacks, we see big chap again, we finally see a xeno cocoon, and it even tries to add up to stuff like Prometheus.
My Personal Ranking of the Alien Movies 1. Aliens 2. Alien 3. Alien³ 4. Alien Vs Predator 5. Prometheus 6. Aliens Vs Predator Requiem 7. Alien Resurrection 8. Alien Covenant Haven't watched Romulus so I can't rank it
My ranking is a bit more divergent from the consensus. 1. Alien - One of my all-time favorite movies. None of the others come close. 2. Aliens - I sorta dislike it as a sequel to Alien, but I do like it on its own merits. 3. Alien 3 - More of what I want from an Alien sequel, but it is indisputably flawed. 4. Prometheus - A return to form that simultaneously felt like a bold new chapter. 5. Romulus - The first act is great, but it starts feeling more and more like fanfic. 6. Covenant - Still an okay movie, but it settles for being a rote franchise sequel. 7. Resurrection - It almost feels like a spoof of the series, but it is stylish, at least. 8. Requiem - It's The Blob '88, now with aliens. At least it remembers to be horrific. 9. AVP - "You patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunch box..."
Now, I've only seen 5 of these movies, but for me of those 5 the ranking is: 1. Aliens 2. Alien 3. Alien 3 4. Alien Resurrection Very distant 5. Alien Covenant. Covenant is the only one of these movies I don't like, and I legit think 3 is a terribly underrated movie.
Just my ranking 🍿🫶👽 Aliens 1986 Alien 1979 Alien 3 Alien Romulus AVP part 1 Prometheus (Alien covenant, AVP part 2, and alien Resurrection.. Ummmm....👎LOL)
For me its 1 Aliens 2 Alien 3 Alien 3 4 Romulus 5 Prometheus 6 Resurrection 7 Covenant I didnt watch AVP and think Romulus is nearly as good as Alien 3 but i really appreciate how 3 turned out despite the production hell.
Alright Madblood, you got a new subscriber. Aliens might have the greatest teaser trailer of all-time btw. I appreciate how you stated you didnt like the Ripley in alien3. Most people resort to hicks and newt killed off as their reason for not liking it, which I understand, but i havent heard anyone with that complaint before and it makes sense. Personally, I loved the nihilistic approach from Alien3. Felt like Ripley was unlikeable because of her situation and having newt and hicks killed off just made her more of a jaded character. Romulus, I think it has been overhyped. Ive said it on your comment section earlier, i would have loved if they killed off Raine midway. It was so obvious she was the next ripley and would survive. Plus, in terms of a sequel, having Andy remain with the advancements would have made for a more natural progression on what happens next because of his commitment to the company. Now itll be a facehugger got on board again scenario, or more aliens were taken off lv426. We will see
Only my opinion! 1. Alien 2. Aliens 3. ALIEN 3 4. AVP requiem 5. Romulas (penalty for line callbacks and newborn redux, the newborn idea....again...) 6.Alien Resurrection 7. AVP 8. Prometheus 9. Covenshit Bonus points to the AVP, tho not canon, they preserved the Queen Alien.
I watched avpr on opening day on Christmas and I lived in Colorado, so it will always be in a special place in my heart. I was also tripping on acid for the first time
I’d go with: Aliens Alien Romulus AvP Covenant AvP R Resurrection Prometheus Alien 3 Prometheus is a good film but it’s a bad ALIEN film, just doesn’t feel like the rest to me. Alien 3 was just meh. I also tie AvP and Covenant, AvP because fun and covenant because interesting film, not saying one necessarily better than other, depends on my mood
Both Alien and Aliens paved the way for future sci-fi films and media, but Aliens is too iconic for me. The cliche and quips from the colonial crew, the jumpscares like finding captured humans, Burke having his own agenda. It’s all these things that have influenced games, music and anything to do with sci-fi horror action 🎉
I definitely rate Alien 3 higher even, and maybe sometimes because, of still being pissed off about Newt and Hicks. The atmosphere, grime, Ripley's performance etc. Even with what could have been and production problems, it's a special and unique movie.
AVP 2004 is just fun. Nothing special. But was my first alien movie. I was 13. Now I can't wait for Romulus. I skipped your review of that since its a bit too new. Great lists lately. I can't wait for you to do all the SAW movies. Might need to do it in 2 parts lol
Thanks I appreciate it! Try to see Romulus in theaters if you can. It’s definitely a movie that shines on the biggest screen possible. Saw will be a fun list but you’re right. It might be a long one. But I was able to do Halloween in one video.
Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are hilariously BAD,. They has cool ideas and FANATASTIC Visuals but the characters are complete idots, the movie is up it's own ass, and they fails miserably at their one and only purpose, TO BE A PREQUALS TO THE ORIGINAL ALIEN MOVIE!!!! 🤣🤣 Seriously, they had one job. They had the engineer has the space jokey, they had the donut space ship, and they even had the Ultramorph that would have burst out of the Space Jokey and fight elizabeth shaw but NOOOOO you just had to make everything different even tho we never return to that planet again. Also Ridley Scott ruined the Xenomorphs. He introduced the Black Goo which make absolutley no sense. It kills an Engineer for some reason, it infects people with Neomorphs that burst out of random areas of the body becaus I guess Chest Bursters weren't brutal enough, It turns one guy into a zombie with super strength and makes Elizabeth Shaw give birth a baby cthulhu FOR SOME REASON!!! In short the Black Goo is just a plot device that does whatever the writers want at the moment. 🤓 Apperantly Ridley Scott and the writers of these Garbage Movies wanted to use an idot plot line. Why on god green Earth would you want to intentionally write your characters like idiots in a movie mean't to be taken seriously, no wonder Covenant flopped at the Box office. On the Brightside it's a great Comedy. 🤣
the concept was cool, but the composited puppet was a really bad looking effect ... The puppet was pretty awesome, but it was the janky compositing that made it look bad. I just can't get with Alien 3, and that's part of the reason. The alien scenes looked terrible unless they were close ups with practical structures, suits, animatronics shot in camera.
@@gojewla It was done with practical effects. Go look it up, it's pretty interesting. There was a CGI effect with the cracks on the Alien's head, but other than that, the only thing that was done with computer effects were the added shadows cast by the composited alien puppet. The close up shots were of course a guy in a suit.. everything else was created by puppetry.. They called it 'mo-motion' and it looked bad. If you look at the behind the scenes footage the puppet was awesome, it was the compositing that made it look bad. The close ups of the stuff they built for the movie were awesome though.
@@Fiveash-Art really? I remember one scene that looked so fake, not because they moved weird or anything, but because the lighting seemed totally different from the background.
@@gojewla Yes.. That's part of the problem I'm talking about with the compositing. The movement of the puppet was actually really cool. I can appreciate the effort they made with this stuff when watching it in the early 90s. I knew they were doing something new, but it really doesn't hold up. It just doesn't blend with the rest of the environment at all. It's an odd thing because I tend to like a lot of stop motion stuff even if it looks fake as hell. But for Alien 3 there's just something about the smoothness of the motion and the compositing that doesn't work. Considering how boring the movie is, it's just not one I ever revisit. The Alien effects completely put me off part 3. Part 3 had some good things going for it, nice atmosphere and all. I don't hate the movie. It's just not something I want to watch when I'm thinking about watching an Alien movie.
29:21 I dig the video man but this is not a good argument, and what’s odd to me is when Prometheus/covenant fans bring this up but ignore the more idiotic choices made in their own movies. In Prometheus SCIENTISTS go up to an unknown life form and begin to touch and pet it. In covenant they go onto a planet they don’t know anything about WITHOUT masks. Like the choices they make in those movies are way dumber than anything in Romulus.
I still have yet to see anyone give specifics about what it was that was so 'dumb' about decisions made by characters in Romulus. Prometheus and Covenant were full of idiot characters .. I still love Prometheus anyway. Covenant not so much .. that movie sucked.
@MadBloodMatt If I can't have xeno sharks then I'd like to see if they could do a xeno in an underwater base. Like deep blue sea style and that's why they can't risk killing it or they risk flooding the base.
I just want a continuation to the story AFTER resurrection . Enough prequels . Enough going backwards . Let’s move forward now and see where things go from there . Movie is great by the way
I know Rain slaps Andy but...even after leaving Kay to die, Tyler and Rain still continue to move on with him and don't stay angry because they know hes an android with a new directive and has no emotional choice there. Continuing to stay angry with him would be pointless and I just like the overall decision making choices some of the characters made in the movie(except Bjorn..he is kind of dumb in the acid scene. Like just roll over? lol).
The only movie that is out of place is Alien Resurrection, which should be down by AVP Requiem. The fact that anyone would put it above Alien 3 is crazy to me.
How the hell is alien 3 lower than resurrection? And how could you come to the conclusion that Ripley was unlikeable in alien 3? She was in a hostile environment surrounded by rapists and murderers. She’s gonna be apprehensive
I didn’t know the first AVP was viewed so low, from what I’ve heard people liked the first AVP the second one was garbage. But like most people I know put AVP above alien 3 and Resurrection
For me its 1. Alien and aliens at the same i can not decide. 2. Covenant 3. Prometheus 4. Romulus the same at the same as Alien 3 and 4 5. AVP 6. AvP Reqiuem And i explain myself- after aliens there are a giant valley but all other alien movies i still love for some elements to the point it is not guilty plesure i rylly like this movies even requiem and i have problem to tell wich one i love more. I have big soft spot for Covenant- it have very abcious ideas and are very enjoyable the same prometheus. But with romulus i have big problem- i was dissappointed after premiere i exepted more- a real top 3 and i got a script that i think was abandonet midair to make action monster movie for syfy tv. The beggining was abcious and after time it do not deliver and i still think that people rylly do not want to see that the problems get just fixed without effort or satisfaction or the second act lack of emotional scenes that are crusal to plot just slaughter of aliens that we observe from distance without haracter development like it was in aliens (in romulus you could remove both scenes with no gravity or elovator and nothing in plot rylly change when in alien removing such scanes also remove part of character development and enviroment storytelling). Why people do not see that script is painfully mediocre? Becuse this movie looks amazing and it is big distraction in fact it is the only movie after first two that have this unique oldfashion design and this is enough to not see other thinks. After time i realized i am too harsh and taking all good and bad stuff i get the simillar lvl that alien 3 or 4 in total (but looking better) and it would be unfair to be harsh on romulus when i love 3 and 4. It is good movie but in fact it is far from alien and aliens and it make up for it with amazing visuals while having dissapointing plotpoints. Too many good and bad to easy judge this movie but people are distracted with designs and i do not blame them but still i am disappointed the first half promised such good movie such good script and plot points... and that never happened we do not get lvl of aliens or alien.
Thank you so so much for this video 🤘🫶 After 3rd viewing of Alien Romulus : Nostalgia 100%, mood and environment 100%, facehugger action 100%, xenomorph action 80%, Prometheus black goo and hybrid alien 15% 😢 not needed... 80% of this movie was freaking fantastic and I was smiling ear to ear,... until black goo/ stupid engineer looking hybrid monster... Similar to the one we got at the end of alien Resurrection,... All in all a great movie though and I can't wait to buy it!! 🍿🫶👽 Aliens 1986 Alien 1979 Alien 3 Alien Romulus AVP part 1 Prometheus (Alien covenant, AVP part 2, and alien Resurrection.. Ummmm....👎LOL)
News flash, it’s a pretty obvious answer. It’s because AVP does not remind me of The Thing from 1982, it reminds me of the prequel. Thus the reason I only mention the prequel…
I mean, early 20-somethings don't tend to make good crisis decisions and that's what I chocked up the bad decision making of both the cast of the original Alien and of Romulus. Also, I think it's a bit silly to always view the decisions of horror characters as dumb or stupid. It's really easy to see what the correct choice is when you're on the outside looking in. Most people aren't great in a crisis.
Dumb character decisions here and there are fine in horror of course but when it happens WAY too much. That becomes a problem for me and starts to annoy me. Unless the movie is a horror comedy.
Anyone who doesn't have Resurrection or AvP Requiem at the bottom of their lists is clowning. Resurrection is a disrespectful disgrace to the franchise by turning it into a comedy full of gross sexual quips (even more disrespectful than Alien 3 killing off Newt and Hicks), and AvPR is just a fundamentally poorly made movie
Yeah. I absolutely disagree with you that this franchise has been very consistent. We have two amazing movies to start with, then after that, it goes downhill and varies in quality. Also, I completely hate Requiem and have no fun with it at all. I find the movie sick and vile for how it handles gore because a chestburster coming out of a kid and the predalien going into a maternity ward to impregate pregnant women is absolutely not in the slightest bit enjoyable even for a guilty pleasure standpoint and I question why anyone feels good about that stuff. I would seriously rather watch Alien 3 over that movie.
with alien covenant its clear the studio interjected and forced ridley to completely go 180 on his plans of being a direct sequel to prometheus and force xenomorphs on the movie while killing the engineer stuff...so thats why the film kind of felt directionless. i liked it a lot. but yah damn fox studios listening to crybaby alien fans too much
i mean at least in romulus they have an excuse to make stupid decisions, they’re like mad young, kids even, compared to the characters in allllll of the other movies. That argument is a lot stronger for prometheus, a movie i personally love, but come on. The biologist and the hammerepede. Just not believable. I can believe random kids who are not expecting anything crazy like this to break under the pressure lol
I kinda agree with some of your ratings but disagree as well,Prometheus is good but a bit boring and pretentious at times but not a 3 in my opinion, AVPR I also disagree with the number 6 rate it's dark ,has human characters I don't care they die except for maybe the military mom I think but yea cool stuff though the Predalien is awesome definitely the lone Predator is a badass,the kills are messed up and gory if you can see it but yeah still think it's a 9,me personally I love Alien Resurrection yea it's flawed but I had fun watching as a child so I'm biased with the rate of 9 I think it's better than Alien 3,yea I sort of understand why people hate clone Ripley but still a badass ,the Xenos are cooler than ever,the swimming scene come on but yea for me it's a 7 for hands down, AVP cool concept but mid execution so for me an 8,Alien 3 despite the pov of the Xenomorph and the minor decent things in between I'll give it a hard 10 hands down because of Newt,Hicks and Bishop but despite that it's tolerable but overall good ranks on your end,but never really go by RT scores I base movies on the entertainment value if it's good it's good,it's bad it's bad and so on but good job on the video!!!👍
how does alien vs predator tie into the Prometheus movie. Did the predator race have anything to do with the creation of the alien? All the movies are too long.
1. Alien 2. Aliens 3. Alien three (especially the assembly cut) 4. Alien Resurrection 5. Prometheus 6. Alien Versus Predator 7. Alien Romulus 8. Alien Covenant 9. AVPR At least that's where I'm ranking them right now. Covenant and AVPR are the only ones in the franchise that I would say are just bad. The rest are anywhere from Great to okay. But I could watch all of them. But as cliche as it is, despite being overall a massive fan of this franchise across so many media. Those first two films are the only ones I'm going to say are actually straight up great movies. There's a massive drop in quality for the entire rest of the franchise after those two. I just find things that I can enjoy across most of them. Prometheus is the weird outlier for me because I think that's a decent film and it's pretty interesting, I think it's literally just held back by being part of this franchise. It almost feels like it's not as it is.
Solid list and I get what you mean about the franchise. I would agree, the first two are the only movies I would consider all time classics. Which is very different for me personally compared to a franchise like Friday the 13th or Halloween which have several movies I consider to be all time classics. Despite the entire franchise having tiny budgets compared to Alien. A lot of the Alien movies just don’t have that charm and coziness that a lower budget movie can have. It’s a type of grittiness and guerilla filmmaking that has a lot of charm to me.
@adamdavis1737 Your ranking shows something that I've been telling people, Sigourney Weaver was the heart and soul of the franchise. They still are trying to find the next Ripley, which for me is a decision that hurts the film. If they killed off Raine midway through Romulus, that would have been amazing
I just rewatched Alien 3 to see where it would go on my list. I hated the Assembly Cut. It is so long and boring and sad....Alien 3 may be my least favorite now. Romulus was WAY better than Alien 3.
I understand why people love Alien 3. It has a very distinct 90s fincher vibe to it. But even though Alien 3 is more original than Romulus, I agree Romulus is more fun overall.
The first avp is good if your a aliens fan, but for predator fans it's a shit show, most of the predators die way too fast. And the main one fucks up and dooms a whole town with his fuck up.

@@gojewla agreed. Alien Resurrection just doesn't feel like an Alien movie in any way. It's a fun popcorn flick but it has none of the tension, none of the great characters, none of the story quality that the originals had
@@KazunariGames I watched it before Romulus came out because I wanted to remember everything before I saw Romulus - it was good.
The thing that makes the Alien series so hard to rank for me is the multiple cuts of each movie. I'd put them like this:
15. Alien Resurrection (Special Edition)
14. Alien Resurrection (Theateical Cut)
13. Aliens Vs. Predator Requiem (Theatrical Cut)
12. Alien 3 (Theatrical Cut)
11. Prometheus
10. Alien Vs. Predator (Theatrical Cut)
9. Alien Vs. Predator (Unrated)
8. Aliens Vs. Predator Requiem (Unrated)
7. Alien Covenant
6. Alien 3 (Assembly Cut)
5. Alien (Director's Cut)
4. Aliens (Special Edition)
3. Alien Romulus
2. Aliens (Theatrical Cut)
1. Alien (Theatrical Cut)
I really enjoyed your video even if i disagree with a few things (I really don't like Prometheus)
thank you so much for making this video! 😊 I love your channel so so much
Thank you. It means a lot ♥️
Definitely predator films. Can’t have one without the other
1. You are the first one who sets rules for the comments which i can understand and am willing to follow
2. I love that you only have a myers mask as your background
He was always like my mascot for horror itself
3. Alien romulus is by far my favorite movie in the alien franchise
It simply has the best looks and the worldbuilding was nice too
What rules for comments?
“Don’t be a dick” rule?
@@MadBloodMatt yes that one
Mkay?
Was surprised how similar my list was 👀
- Alien
- Aliens
- Romulus
- Alien 3

- AvP
- AvP Requiem
100% agree with you!!!! Aliens is fantastic and very close to be number 1 but Alien is just perfection. Of all the movies, Alien is one that I can rewatch many times and not get bored or tired, is just so amazing every time. Also being it all practical effects and the time it was done, it’s just incredible how it looks and feels. Still stands to this day. A total masterpiece!
The Wolf Predator was fucking awesome, and really the only good part of AvP 2.
I like the idea that the xenomorphs and predators are ransacking a familiar place or somewhere I see myself in.
I basically feel like how you feel about Romulus. Even with the eyerolling bait, I did have fun for maybe 3/4 of the movie. I did love that they gave more scenes focusing on facehuggers than what we usually get. But like, the xenomorph is the perfect organism, the perfect monster. By having the offspring hybrid being the final scare it's like saying "ah, I guess the xenomorph isn't enough now". I walked out of the theater feeling a sense of loss, tbh. It made me feel like the offspring was the main meal and the xenomorph was a side dish. I can see why people love it, I truly do, but I would rather pretend the last part of the movie didn't exist.
You make some great points. I agree about the hybrid.
The superhigh budget of Alien 3 wasn’t actually the budget of Alien 3. The film was stuck in development hell for years, with multiple scripts, rewrites, directors coming and going, sets being part built and scrapped, and all the costs of all those failed attempts to get going were lumped under the eventual film. That’s how it ends up with seemingly having triple the budget of Aliens.
I fckn LOVE how refreshing your takes are on movies. Nobody appreciates having tun with a movie anymore, its always about how 'good' they are, so it's really nice seeing somebody who appreciates horror movies for just having fun.
@@TotallyNotJustCynical true
Why do critics despise horror movies that aren't 100% classic masterpieces?!
They see them as low brow trash with no value. Ignoring all of the deeper layers that so many of them have
Because they're pretentious morons who can't create things .. Only talk about them.

2. Prometheus
3. Aliens
4. Alien 3

I think all of them are great sci-fi films but some just work as a film better than others. This is coming from someone who has seen Romulus 7 times in theaters as of now! I loved Romulus but I feel it relied too much on callbacks and it was afraid to stand on its own.
Thanks for sharing your list.
Wow 7 times?! That’s awesome. I can’t lie I kinda wanna go see it a 3rd time in theaters before it goes away.
1. Alien (literally holy shit I love this movie)
2. Aliens
3. Alien: Romulus
4. Alien 3
5. Covenant
6. Resurrection
7. Prometheus
Romulus is my top 2. Sorry for Aliens, I totally understand how important it is, but I just love Rain and Andy so much. Had a small heart attack when I heard you put 3 below Requiem tho lol
1. Aliens - Incredible blend of horror and action, great continuation of lore and character growth, great theme of motherhood, great effects and tense situations, best cast and lines
2. Alien - All time horror classic, amazing atmosphere, created a great terrifying monster and inspiring female lead
3. AVP - A FUN movie. Great action between the creatures, a couple decent human characters, fantastic effects, nothing amazing but fun all throughout
4. Romulus - amazing effects and look, some super tense scenes, a bit too familiar to the original 2 but closer to atmosphere I've been wanting to see
5. Resurrection - Stupid but fun, like the mercenaries, effects are decent, clone Ripley is funny but nothing compared to the original
6. Covenant - god gore and scares, good thought-provoking, but tries too hard to please everyone without pleasing anyone fully
7. Prometheus - Would be better not being related to this franchise, beautiful cinematography, very slow to the point of boredom, dumbest humans in the series
8. Alien 3 - Ruins the previous film's ending, very dull, terrible effects for the creature, not bleak in an interesting way, weakest Ripley performance and not used well
9. Requiem - too hard to see, terrible human characters
Thanks for sharing your list and in depth thoughts on each movie. I love reading stuff like this. It’s part of why I created this channel. To talk horror with other fans. Hell yeah!
My first video of yours and i truly respect the honest opinions that are actually different and understandable.

@@MadBloodMatt If you have a VR headset and have the game on PC, I recommend installing the MotherVR mod (very easy install process) to play the game in VR (only important thing to note is to turn off screenspace reflections in the settings, they look weird in VR ^^;)
Genuinely made the game even more pantsshittingly scary
Did finish it in VR tho, was a blast!
i only ever saw the alien 3 directors cut, and i actually enjoyed it throughout.

Romulus might be somewhat recycled, but I see it as a love letter to the franchise. There are many throwbacks, we see big chap again, we finally see a xeno cocoon, and it even tries to add up to stuff like Prometheus.

My ranking is a bit more divergent from the consensus.
1. Alien - One of my all-time favorite movies. None of the others come close.
2. Aliens - I sorta dislike it as a sequel to Alien, but I do like it on its own merits.
3. Alien 3 - More of what I want from an Alien sequel, but it is indisputably flawed.
4. Prometheus - A return to form that simultaneously felt like a bold new chapter.
5. Romulus - The first act is great, but it starts feeling more and more like fanfic.
6. Covenant - Still an okay movie, but it settles for being a rote franchise sequel.
7. Resurrection - It almost feels like a spoof of the series, but it is stylish, at least.
8. Requiem - It's The Blob '88, now with aliens. At least it remembers to be horrific.
9. AVP - "You patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunch box..."
Now, I've only seen 5 of these movies, but for me of those 5 the ranking is:
1. Aliens
2. Alien
3. Alien 3
4. Alien Resurrection
Very distant 5. Alien Covenant.
Covenant is the only one of these movies I don't like, and I legit think 3 is a terribly underrated movie.

I didnt watch AVP and think Romulus is nearly as good as Alien 3 but i really appreciate how 3 turned out despite the production hell.
Alright Madblood, you got a new subscriber.
Aliens might have the greatest teaser trailer of all-time btw.
I appreciate how you stated you didnt like the Ripley in alien3. Most people resort to hicks and newt killed off as their reason for not liking it, which I understand, but i havent heard anyone with that complaint before and it makes sense. Personally, I loved the nihilistic approach from Alien3. Felt like Ripley was unlikeable because of her situation and having newt and hicks killed off just made her more of a jaded character.
Romulus, I think it has been overhyped. Ive said it on your comment section earlier, i would have loved if they killed off Raine midway. It was so obvious she was the next ripley and would survive. Plus, in terms of a sequel, having Andy remain with the advancements would have made for a more natural progression on what happens next because of his commitment to the company. Now itll be a facehugger got on board again scenario, or more aliens were taken off lv426.
We will see

@@MadBloodMatt thx, brofessa....subbed. keep it up.
Good job Matt. I totally agree with your ranking.
I’ve never understood the hate for Alien 3. The special edition/assembly cut is my favorite movie in the franchise.
It basically boils down to hicks and newt being killed off.
Not my top Alien move but I literally have it tied for 3rd. Resurrection is in dead last for me.
Haven't seen Romulus yet, so can't realy comment on that, but I really feel Alien 3 needs to be higher, other than that I pretty much agree.
I watched avpr on opening day on Christmas and I lived in Colorado, so it will always be in a special place in my heart. I was also tripping on acid for the first time
😂😂 shit was probably nuts
The hybrid at the end of Romulus was half engineer
Top 3 is gonna give me alot of shit haha.
1. Aliens
2. Alien... Romulus
3. Alien
I’d go with:
Aliens
Alien
Romulus
AvP
Covenant
AvP R
Resurrection
Prometheus
Alien 3
Prometheus is a good film but it’s a bad ALIEN film, just doesn’t feel like the rest to me. Alien 3 was just meh. I also tie AvP and Covenant, AvP because fun and covenant because interesting film, not saying one necessarily better than other, depends on my mood
Both Alien and Aliens paved the way for future sci-fi films and media, but Aliens is too iconic for me. The cliche and quips from the colonial crew, the jumpscares like finding captured humans, Burke having his own agenda. It’s all these things that have influenced games, music and anything to do with sci-fi horror action 🎉
I definitely rate Alien 3 higher even, and maybe sometimes because, of still being pissed off about Newt and Hicks. The atmosphere, grime, Ripley's performance etc. Even with what could have been and production problems, it's a special and unique movie.

Thanks! Yes, at some point I will.
AVP 2004 is just fun. Nothing special. But was my first alien movie. I was 13.
Now I can't wait for Romulus. I skipped your review of that since its a bit too new.
Great lists lately. I can't wait for you to do all the SAW movies. Might need to do it in 2 parts lol
Thanks I appreciate it!
Try to see Romulus in theaters if you can. It’s definitely a movie that shines on the biggest screen possible.
Saw will be a fun list but you’re right. It might be a long one. But I was able to do Halloween in one video.
I really dont get it talking about bad character decisions in Romulus whereas that's all that happens in Prometheus
I agree a TON of bad decisions throughout Prometheus but Romulus is also 120 minutes of dumb choices all around.
Prometheus and Alien: Covenant are hilariously BAD,. They has cool ideas and FANATASTIC Visuals but the characters are complete idots, the movie is up it's own ass, and they fails miserably at their one and only purpose, TO BE A PREQUALS TO THE ORIGINAL ALIEN MOVIE!!!! 🤣🤣
Seriously, they had one job. They had the engineer has the space jokey, they had the donut space ship, and they even had the Ultramorph that would have burst out of the Space Jokey and fight elizabeth shaw but NOOOOO you just had to make everything different even tho we never return to that planet again.
Also Ridley Scott ruined the Xenomorphs. He introduced the Black Goo which make absolutley no sense.
It kills an Engineer for some reason, it infects people with Neomorphs that burst out of random areas of the body becaus I guess Chest Bursters weren't brutal enough, It turns one guy into a zombie with super strength and makes Elizabeth Shaw give birth a baby cthulhu FOR SOME REASON!!! In short the Black Goo is just a plot device that does whatever the writers want at the moment. 🤓
Apperantly Ridley Scott and the writers of these Garbage Movies wanted to use an idot plot line. Why on god green Earth would you want to intentionally write your characters like idiots in a movie mean't to be taken seriously, no wonder Covenant flopped at the Box office. On the Brightside it's a great Comedy. 🤣
My ranking: Alien, Aliens, everything else
The dog alien was the coolest xenomorph
the concept was cool, but the composited puppet was a really bad looking effect ... The puppet was pretty awesome, but it was the janky compositing that made it look bad. I just can't get with Alien 3, and that's part of the reason. The alien scenes looked terrible unless they were close ups with practical structures, suits, animatronics shot in camera.
@@Fiveash-Artthe terrible CGI was worse, but it’s sort of understandable considering how undeveloped cgi was back then.
@@gojewla It was done with practical effects. Go look it up, it's pretty interesting. There was a CGI effect with the cracks on the Alien's head, but other than that, the only thing that was done with computer effects were the added shadows cast by the composited alien puppet. The close up shots were of course a guy in a suit.. everything else was created by puppetry.. They called it 'mo-motion' and it looked bad. If you look at the behind the scenes footage the puppet was awesome, it was the compositing that made it look bad. The close ups of the stuff they built for the movie were awesome though.
@@Fiveash-Art really? I remember one scene that looked so fake, not because they moved weird or anything, but because the lighting seemed totally different from the background.
@@gojewla Yes.. That's part of the problem I'm talking about with the compositing. The movement of the puppet was actually really cool. I can appreciate the effort they made with this stuff when watching it in the early 90s. I knew they were doing something new, but it really doesn't hold up. It just doesn't blend with the rest of the environment at all. It's an odd thing because I tend to like a lot of stop motion stuff even if it looks fake as hell. But for Alien 3 there's just something about the smoothness of the motion and the compositing that doesn't work. Considering how boring the movie is, it's just not one I ever revisit. The Alien effects completely put me off part 3. Part 3 had some good things going for it, nice atmosphere and all. I don't hate the movie. It's just not something I want to watch when I'm thinking about watching an Alien movie.
29:21 I dig the video man but this is not a good argument, and what’s odd to me is when Prometheus/covenant fans bring this up but ignore the more idiotic choices made in their own movies. In Prometheus SCIENTISTS go up to an unknown life form and begin to touch and pet it. In covenant they go onto a planet they don’t know anything about WITHOUT masks. Like the choices they make in those movies are way dumber than anything in Romulus.
I still have yet to see anyone give specifics about what it was that was so 'dumb' about decisions made by characters in Romulus. Prometheus and Covenant were full of idiot characters .. I still love Prometheus anyway. Covenant not so much .. that movie sucked.
The only thing i liked in resurrection was that we got to see xenomorphs swimming. I want xenosharks
😂 I’m down for that
Tbh the swimming part might’ve been the scariest moment in the movie
@MadBloodMatt
If I can't have xeno sharks then I'd like to see if they could do a xeno in an underwater base. Like deep blue sea style and that's why they can't risk killing it or they risk flooding the base.
I just want a continuation to the story AFTER resurrection . Enough prequels . Enough going backwards . Let’s move forward now and see where things go from there . Movie is great by the way
I know Rain slaps Andy but...even after leaving Kay to die, Tyler and Rain still continue to move on with him and don't stay angry because they know hes an android with a new directive and has no emotional choice there. Continuing to stay angry with him would be pointless and I just like the overall decision making choices some of the characters made in the movie(except Bjorn..he is kind of dumb in the acid scene. Like just roll over? lol).
AvpR Is so dark
The only movie that is out of place is Alien Resurrection, which should be down by AVP Requiem. The fact that anyone would put it above Alien 3 is crazy to me.
How the hell is alien 3 lower than resurrection? And how could you come to the conclusion that Ripley was unlikeable in alien 3? She was in a hostile environment surrounded by rapists and murderers. She’s gonna be apprehensive
I didn’t know the first AVP was viewed so low, from what I’ve heard people liked the first AVP the second one was garbage. But like most people I know put AVP above alien 3 and Resurrection
For me its
1. Alien and aliens at the same i can not decide.
2. Covenant
3. Prometheus
4. Romulus the same at the same as Alien 3 and 4
5. AVP
6. AvP Reqiuem
And i explain myself- after aliens there are a giant valley but all other alien movies i still love for some elements to the point it is not guilty plesure i rylly like this movies even requiem and i have problem to tell wich one i love more. I have big soft spot for Covenant- it have very abcious ideas and are very enjoyable the same prometheus.
But with romulus i have big problem- i was dissappointed after premiere i exepted more- a real top 3 and i got a script that i think was abandonet midair to make action monster movie for syfy tv. The beggining was abcious and after time it do not deliver and i still think that people rylly do not want to see that the problems get just fixed without effort or satisfaction or the second act lack of emotional scenes that are crusal to plot just slaughter of aliens that we observe from distance without haracter development like it was in aliens (in romulus you could remove both scenes with no gravity or elovator and nothing in plot rylly change when in alien removing such scanes also remove part of character development and enviroment storytelling).
Why people do not see that script is painfully mediocre? Becuse this movie looks amazing and it is big distraction in fact it is the only movie after first two that have this unique oldfashion design and this is enough to not see other thinks. After time i realized i am too harsh and taking all good and bad stuff i get the simillar lvl that alien 3 or 4 in total (but looking better) and it would be unfair to be harsh on romulus when i love 3 and 4. It is good movie but in fact it is far from alien and aliens and it make up for it with amazing visuals while having dissapointing plotpoints. Too many good and bad to easy judge this movie but people are distracted with designs and i do not blame them but still i am disappointed the first half promised such good movie such good script and plot points... and that never happened we do not get lvl of aliens or alien.
I actually like Prometheus the most.
That Eifell tower comment is one of the stupidest things ive even heard. Its a movie, who cares in the set comes crashing down if it makes sense
Thank you so so much for this video 🤘🫶
After 3rd viewing of Alien Romulus
: Nostalgia 100%, mood and environment 100%, facehugger action 100%, xenomorph action 80%, Prometheus black goo and hybrid alien 15% 😢 not needed... 80% of this movie was freaking fantastic and I was smiling ear to ear,... until black goo/ stupid engineer looking hybrid monster... Similar to the one we got at the end of alien Resurrection,... All in all a great movie though and I can't wait to buy it!! 🍿🫶👽
Aliens 1986
Alien 1979
Alien 3
Alien Romulus
AVP part 1
Prometheus
(Alien covenant, AVP part 2, and alien Resurrection.. Ummmm....👎LOL)
Im baffled as to how you mentioned the thing prequel instead of just saying the Thing
News flash, it’s a pretty obvious answer. It’s because AVP does not remind me of The Thing from 1982, it reminds me of the prequel. Thus the reason I only mention the prequel…
I mean, early 20-somethings don't tend to make good crisis decisions and that's what I chocked up the bad decision making of both the cast of the original Alien and of Romulus.
Also, I think it's a bit silly to always view the decisions of horror characters as dumb or stupid. It's really easy to see what the correct choice is when you're on the outside looking in. Most people aren't great in a crisis.
Dumb character decisions here and there are fine in horror of course but when it happens WAY too much. That becomes a problem for me and starts to annoy me. Unless the movie is a horror comedy.
@@MadBloodMatt fully understandable
These are my favorite videos!
Anyone who doesn't have Resurrection or AvP Requiem at the bottom of their lists is clowning. Resurrection is a disrespectful disgrace to the franchise by turning it into a comedy full of gross sexual quips (even more disrespectful than Alien 3 killing off Newt and Hicks), and AvPR is just a fundamentally poorly made movie
I don’t mind the lighting of avp-r
I'd be interested to see how you rank the Phantasm franchise in comparison to RT
Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Yeah. I absolutely disagree with you that this franchise has been very consistent. We have two amazing movies to start with, then after that, it goes downhill and varies in quality. Also, I completely hate Requiem and have no fun with it at all. I find the movie sick and vile for how it handles gore because a chestburster coming out of a kid and the predalien going into a maternity ward to impregate pregnant women is absolutely not in the slightest bit enjoyable even for a guilty pleasure standpoint and I question why anyone feels good about that stuff. I would seriously rather watch Alien 3 over that movie.
Great vid ❤
🫡
with alien covenant its clear the studio interjected and forced ridley to completely go 180 on his plans of being a direct sequel to prometheus and force xenomorphs on the movie while killing the engineer stuff...so thats why the film kind of felt directionless. i liked it a lot. but yah damn fox studios listening to crybaby alien fans too much
Fincher best movie is zodiac so underrated deserves more recognition
I'd put Fight Club over Zodiac, .. but Zodiac was great.
Prometheus is a good movie, but as far as in the "Alien" franchise, it's easily the worst. Bottom tier movie. Goes in #9
Are you ever going to do a saw movies ranked?
I will.
Of course they are wrong. That’s why you should just ignore that site. So should everyone
They’re normally never wrong about horror movies
i mean at least in romulus they have an excuse to make stupid decisions, they’re like mad young, kids even, compared to the characters in allllll of the other movies. That argument is a lot stronger for prometheus, a movie i personally love, but come on. The biologist and the hammerepede. Just not believable. I can believe random kids who are not expecting anything crazy like this to break under the pressure lol
I kinda agree with some of your ratings but disagree as well,Prometheus is good but a bit boring and pretentious at times but not a 3 in my opinion, AVPR I also disagree with the number 6 rate it's dark ,has human characters I don't care they die except for maybe the military mom I think but yea cool stuff though the Predalien is awesome definitely the lone Predator is a badass,the kills are messed up and gory if you can see it but yeah still think it's a 9,me personally I love Alien Resurrection yea it's flawed but I had fun watching as a child so I'm biased with the rate of 9 I think it's better than Alien 3,yea I sort of understand why people hate clone Ripley but still a badass ,the Xenos are cooler than ever,the swimming scene come on but yea for me it's a 7 for hands down, AVP cool concept but mid execution so for me an 8,Alien 3 despite the pov of the Xenomorph and the minor decent things in between I'll give it a hard 10 hands down because of Newt,Hicks and Bishop but despite that it's tolerable but overall good ranks on your end,but never really go by RT scores I base movies on the entertainment value if it's good it's good,it's bad it's bad and so on but good job on the video!!!👍
how does alien vs predator tie into the Prometheus movie. Did the predator race have anything to do with the creation of the alien? All the movies are too long.

9. AVPR
At least that's where I'm ranking them right now. Covenant and AVPR are the only ones in the franchise that I would say are just bad. The rest are anywhere from Great to okay. But I could watch all of them. But as cliche as it is, despite being overall a massive fan of this franchise across so many media. Those first two films are the only ones I'm going to say are actually straight up great movies. There's a massive drop in quality for the entire rest of the franchise after those two. I just find things that I can enjoy across most of them.
Prometheus is the weird outlier for me because I think that's a decent film and it's pretty interesting, I think it's literally just held back by being part of this franchise. It almost feels like it's not as it is.
Close to my rankings too. Romulus didnt really do it for me
Solid list and I get what you mean about the franchise. I would agree, the first two are the only movies I would consider all time classics. Which is very different for me personally compared to a franchise like Friday the 13th or Halloween which have several movies I consider to be all time classics. Despite the entire franchise having tiny budgets compared to Alien. A lot of the Alien movies just don’t have that charm and coziness that a lower budget movie can have. It’s a type of grittiness and guerilla filmmaking that has a lot of charm to me.
@adamdavis1737 Your ranking shows something that I've been telling people, Sigourney Weaver was the heart and soul of the franchise.
They still are trying to find the next Ripley, which for me is a decision that hurts the film.
If they killed off Raine midway through Romulus, that would have been amazing
I just rewatched Alien 3 to see where it would go on my list. I hated the Assembly Cut. It is so long and boring and sad....Alien 3 may be my least favorite now. Romulus was WAY better than Alien 3.
I understand why people love Alien 3. It has a very distinct 90s fincher vibe to it. But even though Alien 3 is more original than Romulus, I agree Romulus is more fun overall.
The first avp is good if your a aliens fan, but for predator fans it's a shit show, most of the predators die way too fast. And the main one fucks up and dooms a whole town with his fuck up.
