In case nobody's seen this yet: [URL]http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailbiter111/news/?a=59862[/URL] First review (it's pretty much spoiler free, so don't worry) from a magazine in Slovenia who have apparently seen the first preview showings of the film. Not sure what he means by "cheap tricks" or inconsistencies, but I guess we'll find out eventually.

Haha I was just going to post this :p Reading this got me a little worried... I mean I am sure this movie will be great and that I will love it but it says we don't get any answers... Does that mean they will just find the temple and won't know anything about it the whole movie? And that would mean that there is no explanation giving about the urns and what they contain. I kinda find this hard to believe...

Sounds like it could potientially be "Lost" in Space (pardon the pun) which would really, REALLY piss me off.

Hmmm...I'm actually kind of relieved it wasn't a glowing review. I'm anticipating this movie so much, I don't need to put any more pressure on it. Plus, he's Slovenian...so I'll take my chances.

Even if they did get the details right...what's with that objection to a [i]Monster[/i] that develops in less than half an hour? They did see 'Alien'.....right? They do know that the xeno develops from roughly the size of a weazel to something larger most human males in about the same amount of time, maybe a bit longer?

What details did he get incorrect? I've read movie reviews from big names (Ebert, Siegel, Stewart Kline, etc.) over the years where you could almost swear they saw a different film than then one I did, just from how they managed to mangle the plot when talking about the movie. EDIT: Ok I read it again and the only glaring thing I read was that he said it's "forty years" before Alien rather than "thirty years." That doesn't suprise me. See what I wrote above about movie reviewers.

Well he goes on about them changing in 30 mins, but that's fairly normal based on the other movies right, don't see a problem with that. I wouldn't take random magazine review seriously tbh it's one person opinion and who knows how much of a fan they are in the whole alien universe.

i think this particular reviewer is stuck on seeing "Marines in Space" again, when they should have gone into the film without that baggage i don't trust reviews of films i want to see, whether they are positive or negative. look at the reviews ALIEN got when it was released way back in 1979, the reviews were more negative than positive. same goes for Blade Runner why would you let someone else tell you how something tastes or sounds, you need to see / taste it for yourself, that also applies to cinema just sayin'...

How come they'd show it to a Slovenian monthly magazine prior to any national/international websites and before the premiere? Seems like a joke from the Joker (sorry that was bad)... Don't reviews usually have a dated embargo on them anyway? (ie the studio can sue the publisher if it's published before they want details leaked) Seems really vague and an incredibly unlikely source to me - and my ass is OFFICIALly orange!

I'd like to see a review pop up online from someone who is actually a FAN and speaks like a fan would - stressing major points of interest. All these "official" reviews seem the same to me - bland and as if the reviewer didn't understand the film at all. I mean, when you're a reputable source, you want to get your facts straight and right of the bat, these reviews are sadly lacking in accuracy. I understand ComicBookMovie is a fairly well known, reputable site, but this review is not I'm afraid.

The only reviews I will be really interested in read will be reviews of other fans, like members of this forum.

You're right, this bozo confused 223 and 226. How could anyone in their right mind make such a mistake? [b]How?[/b][i][/i] That screams 'fake review' to me for sure. /sarcasm off :)

It is an attempt to bring search engine traffic to their site. That way they raise their ads CPM rates and cash in on such type of traffic.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

And comicbookmovie.com far from reputable.... Only volunteers submit information.... It's written in their disclaimer at the bottom of that same "article" .... They lost a lot of bull shit about The Dark Knight Rises also.... Not concerned with this "review"
