I love movies!! Who doesn't love movies, right? I believe movies are more than just entertainment; they are a window into different worlds, cultures, and perspectives. I believe cinema can inspire, challenge, and provoke thought, as well as bridge divides. The reviews I write aim to reflect my beliefs, encouraging my viewers to see beyond the surface and appreciate the artistry behind every frame. As of New Year Day 2025, I am aiming to write one movie review per day, every day. Hopefully not all the movies I review will be mediocre (just the reviews themselves might be. 😱🤣). I hope you enjoy my content. 😁
Review: Aliens (1986) - Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Carrie Henn
Welcome to Mediocre Movie Reviews! This is my review for Aliens (1986)
Plot: 57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with the reptilian alien creature from the first movie, she is called back, this time, to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. But this time, the aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for. Using specially modified machine guns and enough firepower, it's either fight or die as the space marines battle against the aliens. As the Marines do their best to defend themselves, Ripley must attempt to protect a young girl who is the sole survivor of the nearly wiped out space colony.

If you really gave "the straight dope on the best of cinema, then "Mediocre Movie Reviews" would not be a relevant name for your channel.
Considering I'm new to UA-cam (and publishing my reviews publicly), I wasn't sure that "The Best Movie Reviews You've Ever Seen" was going to be realistic enough. 🤣 Thank you for commenting. 😊
@@MediocreMovieReviews No. I totally believe that you should go for it! All or nothing, baby!👍
I have no idea how this came on my recommended page, as it had just 1 like and less than a hundred views, but it was a good review. So while I can see the art being honed more, I can't call the review mediocre, and therefore ultimately have to give the review a 3/5 for false advertising. Will hope your next one is more mediocre, but have subscribed.
