I just watched alien romulus and I thought it was really frustrating. What happened to the lethal face huggers and the older, experienced crew of spaceships that got paid like shit by the company?

Now they are hitting face huggers left and right with sticks, and people just get up after having one over their face.

I didn’t feel like I cared about the characters. They were actually quite unlikeable. I really miss Ripley. She had enormous amount of character, strength and intelligence. What did we get in this movie? They are all super generic.

Just disappointed. How about you guys?

    That’s a very good analysis. I just really missed Ripley who felt like a full person, and it was obvious why she was respected in the first movie. Not only is she smart, she also refuses to follow authority by dumb leaders. Her humanity shows through the entire franchise, even when she becomes an alien hybrid!

    Also the original movies wasn’t pure action. There was a lot of built up, and really believeable characters. What do we have in romulus? I don’t remember a single line.

    Maybe this is what it’s like to become old. Viewing new movies which feels clearly inferior to the ones I watched growing up.
