I dont really understand why people have such high expectations for these movies. Is it because the name Alien is so well known for so long? Go back and watch the first 2. All they are is stupid alien horror movies.
Covenant was really no different at all. It was literally the same exact thing as the first 2 movies, so if you like them, youll like this. Same thing with the star wars movies. The original trilogy is basically just some stupid cartoon. Its ridiculous. Made for little kids. If you like that sort of thing, like I do, then what was the problem with the prequels? It was all just stupid sci fi shit to me, and I liked the prequels for that. Had some cool planets, some cool shits.... good enough for me! Because I wasnt expecting anything more than that. Those movies are really well designed. Thats what I like SW for, nothing more.
People seem to build these franchises up over time in their minds and suddenly they make them out to be something they never were in the first place. These are not meant to be the godfather trilogy lmao, or some other intellectually intelligent franchise. Its just dumbass sci fi crap. Covenant delivered that. Sounds to me like those that didnt like it probably just dont really care that much about this kind of movie anymore, so dont watch them?
- Folks get pissy because it doesn't elicit the same magical response the original movies did TWENTY YEARS AGO [see also: Star Wars]Morning_star
- Defending the SW prequels invalidates everything you have to say on the topic of film. Enjoy your garbage.i_monk
- Easy there i_monk, I wasn't defending, just explaining the phenomena. SW prequels are, at best, hollow shells.Morning_star
