Like your Terminator Ranking, very succinct and very personal. I will rank mine in reverse order with a brief description of why. AVP Requiem. It's either in the dark or it's Alien 90210 Covenant. Pointless movie but looks good. AVP. Generic early 2000's action. Hated the immobile body builder Predators, Loved the Grid Alien. Prometheus. A decent Sci-fi movie but a horrible Alien movie. Resurrection. Has some great moments, love the reinvention of Ripley, hate the newborn. Romulus. Really liked Rain and Andy, like most of the movie. I blame it's issues on the worse movies on my list. Aliens. Terrific movie on all levels and actually the first Alien movie I ever saw. Alien. Thriller just beats the action of Aliens. Both amazing movies. Alien 3. No I didn't forget it about it like this one better. Despite it's issues I love everything about this movie. Predator 2. There's a skull in it so it counts.
I will never understand the blind praise im hearing for Romulus. Everyone is praising Romulus for exact same issues that they constantly trash Prometheus and Covenant. The characters are flat and forgettable. The writing for them is nonexistent most of the time. The acting is completely dispassionate... or talentless, however you want to look at it. The fan service is completely inappropriate for a serious Alien film. Not even Resurrection stooped so low as to directly quote better, better movies in the franchise. As a fan, the "Get away from her you b****" line was completely insulting. How or why would they try to cheapen Ripleys glorious moment in Aliens?? This is how i rank the franchise: Aliens Alien Prometheus Alien Covenant Alien Resurrection AVP Alien Romulus Alien 3 AVP: Requiem
