Truly a bad take from Matty. I'm shocked he didn't like the movie that inspires so many video games and even sci-fi movies . Bill Paxton's Hudson is great by the way.

The Alien series of films is one of the more interesting and varied franchises out there. Each one is a different sub-genre of scifi. The first one is scifi-horror, the second sci-fi action, the third and fourth are neither of those. I'm one of the few people I know who actually really likes the third one (except for the obviously poor narrative choice that everyone hates)... so I can definitely see how people take different things from different films. (Heck, there's one friend of mine from college where there was only one or two films that we agreed were good... we never went to the movies together, but we had a lot of fun conversations/arguments.) You're getting a crash course in a lot of stuff many of us built up over decades. Your ability to articulate why you like and don't like a film has already grown, and as you see more of these classics, you'll have even more examples to draw from (and I'm relatively confident some of your tastes may change, not just from seeing different iterations within the same genre from different times, but just from the experience of digesting so many films in general... and *then* the tastes will change more as you move through actual years yourself.) Really loving this journey, dude.

I'm curious how he'd feel about Equilibrium

There’s a new Batman cartoon

If you cant appreciate Aliens as the peak blockbuster film that it is, i dont think you should watch anymore movies.

You nailed it when you said I like stories,so you don’t really know action movies.Your point of view makes sense now,for you😂

Watch the director's cut fam. It was the first movie disk i had. The director's cut of aliens was my shit!! And the whole point of the marines are to be corny. It's literally an 80s action trope lol. It made the movie better, it also inspired the fuck out of halo. Idk man, i love your takes, but i just dont think you were in the right head space for it. It's a masterpiece and in my opinion way better yan alien. But it is just an opinion lol. Im just glad you are finally getting into yhe franchise.

I really hope that you guys do Titanic someday, I personally think it’s James Cameron’s best movie.

HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU NOT LIKE ALIENS!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?

I’m actually with you on this one. I personally enjoy the movie but I love Alien way more than Aliens. I actually kindof enjoy Alien 3 more than Aliens lol.

From what I've heard is that the OG script WAS great then Roth got ahold of it and turned it into a horror action movie, all kinds of blood/guts and graphic violence, then the studio was disgusted with the horror and had it re-shot to remove the horror. This, the movie shown in theaters, is what's left. A bad Roth script with no horror, or soul.

I think Aliens is a better movie, but I like Alien better personally

I think Matty will really like Prometheus

so the raid: redemption is a no 😅

Matty… I just can’t with you…

Why not record the reactions and upload the too?? Would love to see it.

As a very tolerant and understanding person i am staggered at how irrationally angry i am with your opinion 😅 Might be the worst take ive ever heard of anything ever

hearing how he talks about the marines makes me wonder if he understands the politic satire and messaging.

WHAT THE FUCK. Worst take ever.

Agree. I much prefer the horror of the first one than the action of the second. Still think it's good but I greatly prefer the first one.

Totally agree with Matty.

Watch the thing!

Aliens is the kind of movie you rent on Blockbuster when you’re a kid. I always just thought the world in technology was interesting. I definitely think you would enjoy something like Prometheus more. The movie wasn’t marketed as having to do anything to do with aliens.

I’m fine with Mattys take on this movie….. but not seeing how halo combat evolved evokes Alien is CRAZY lol. The flood is literally chestbursters inhabiting their prey’s body. Hidden alien that gets discovered on space and potential life ending threat. Flood is like a DIRECT rip from Aliens lol

While I personally don't agree with it being better than Alien like many do, this disappoint me.

With Halo: Combat Evolved, I would absolutely say a lot was lifted from Aliens. You have the ship from this movie looking like the frigates from Halo and especially Halo 2, and the Marines. The even have a Sergeant Johnson so ripped from aliens. Visually, it seems so inspired from aliens, imo, the pelican design

Worst take by far but I respect the honesty

Im kind of on board with matty here. Not to the same extent, but i dramatically prefer the first one

TBH, I like it a lot more than "not bad" but I do agree that the first is superior and that it is more than a bit overrated. I think it's actually the weakest of the original trilogy for me. Given how much Matt is digging Ridley's films though, The Martian has to be up soon

This is my favorite movie about the Vietnam war 😏

Thankyou.. when i heard he didnt like it (vam hellsing) i was like... does he hate fun?? Anyways, glad he rewatched haha

I'd love to see Lock add more of his favorite things about the movies Mathew watches

Just curious, but for someone whom hates kids in movies I REALLY would love to know what Matty thinks of The Lost Boys. Oh man.. please do that episode one day, Matty & Lock! Enjoy the weekend, you two.

Whhhhhaaaatttt this movie is awesome one of my favourites ever

Disagree matty halo pulled sooooooo much from this movie. the way the aliens work, the way the marines speak and look, the pelican design, and the fact that sergeant johnson is basically in that movie lol.

Once again, I'm with Matty on this one. It's just okay. Vastly prefer the first

Matty saying Ridley instead of Ripley makes me want to pull my hair out.

Matty can't help that he's experiencing all of this out of order. We watched these in a world before every other property stole all the best parts of movies we loved. Matty, just go get mind-wiped and start over. In chronological order this time.

just when alien fans got a win with romulus, matty comes through and gives em a devastating loss

Director’s Cut is necessary for Aliens.

Matty continues with the based takes, he's totally right again. Aliens is fun but it's nowhere near as good as the first.

Lock, you have got to do a poll about kid actor-centric movies soon 😂 I wonder how Matty would react to some movies with great kid actors. I'm thinking Stand by Me as example

I agree love alien more as a thriller horror . Still really enjoy aliens though

My heart broke further and further everytime he said “Ridley” instead of Ripley 😂

Damn man, I respect your take and i think your opinion is total valid...even if its wrong lmao! But in all seriousness, its no worries at all. Side note: Edge of Tomorrow (featuring our father ole Tommy Cruise) is actually a live action movie of a Japanese Manga/Light Novel from the early 2000's called 'All You Need is Kill'. It's pretty cool, you should check it out after, Even if its just skimming through it.

Bro wait till you get to Alien 3 lol

I always liked this movie as a kid watched it again a year ago and I had a similar experience. The Aliens themselves are not very scary or doing much killing visually they don't do cool things. I like the sci Fi technology the guns and computers and military style was cool. Fun fact: the part of the movie when the Marines get ambushed by the Xenomorphs and the CPT say "we! are! leaving!" And the line were the guy takes out the shotgun and says"I keep this for close encounters" is re-created in the tanker mission of call of duty 4 modern warfare. The music is also very similar for that escape sequence in both movie and the that sequence in the game

You guys really missed out by not watching the Directors cut man. In it, its revealed that Ripleys daughter, Amanda, grew up and died while Ripley was in hypersleep. This makes everything in the movie involving her relationship with Newt sooooo much more meaningful, as she never got to truly raise a daughter of her own. Definitely a scene that should've been left in the theatrical cut though, so I can't really blame you guys for missing out. Also, (cause you know I gotta complain, you're coming at one of my favs lol) what did Newt do that was supposedly stupid?? 😭 She was one of the smartest people on that planet.

The first one is definitely better

Well at least it reaffirms my belief that Matt doesn’t always know what he’s talking about 😂 don’t hate him but his take on this movie is WRONG lol
