The sequels were trying to be sci-fi action vessels. Which is why I don't mind referring the first one as a decent horror film.

Its only fault is not being film based on the first game, and instead just on the concept. I still like this one, though.

It's fair to say you and I disagree on the first film for the most part since it did not deliver what I was expecting it would, even if I liked it a long time ago.

My opinions on those films have really changed over the last few years.

It's the same argument I've heard everyone try to use for the last ten years about the movie. It was never supposed to replicate the movies. That's the point.

To be loosely based on them.

If they were to be any sort of 1:1 we already seen it. Wouldn't have made it as interesting to see when we can just play the video games.

That's the point I was already trying to make. I said I like the first film and it's a decent horror film. That's why I said the only knock people really have with it is it wasn't a copy of the first game, but honestly it didn't need to be since it still emulated the concept pretty well.

I agree. If you want the same story as the game you can always play the game. Resident Evil 2 even just got a remake for PS4.

I'm referring to the first three movies. Not just the first one.

Two and three are still good films, but they're hardly horror films, though. More sci-fi action vessels similar to Aliens.

Can't we have discussions like grown adults ?

TBH here I voted Resident Evil over Alien here but that is soley because I like Resident Evil more then the OG Aliens not that I don't like it but I will take Mila over Weaver everyday as the bad ass female lead.

I just really enjoyed them because I got to see the whole franchise in the theaters and they were just fun films.

I was probably the opposite of you in that I was more disappointed after the first one came out due to it not being like 1, 2 or 3, but came to like the films for being themselves by the time I saw the sequel, this one, in theaters. They were just fun theater vessels.

Well said.

Mila is a sexy and bad ass chica, too.

Can't argue you that cause I wasn't sure if two or three of
aliens is considered horror or not.

I think, in my opinion, films that are more action based but with horror elements should be considered horror movies.

Otherwise 28 Days Later wouldn't count and that's just not really fair to what it's supposed to be, a horror-action film. :draper2
