When the monster itself is doing its thing, it's a fun movie. But the rest is all a bunch of men talking, and that's dull. I never did get the hype for this movie, and the so-called suspense is missing.
The characters in this are pretty dull and cardboard mostly, except for Mcready and Childs. Everyone else is just alien fodder.
shareDialog is so overrated. Why can’t we just play video games 24/7 like a bunch of lemmings.
Go Bernie!
It's a bunch of dude bro scientists talking a bunch of bullshit, interceded by gore effects and explosions.
Dialogue driven movies can work but when the dialogue consists of bickering and all the characters act like 13 year old boys then it's an issue.
This movie's legacy is it's practical effects. Without them it'd have never been re-appraised as a 'classic'.
