First offical reaction/review is online

I second what shardy said.

Let's wait and see what they say in Transylvainia....they just gotta call it right somewhere, anywhere....

I'm with you shardy

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.

My bullshit meter just lit off... I still say the Cobralien route is viable...

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"

So if someone else posts another review there and it's a glowing review, should we ignore that one too? Not sure I understand the rationale here.

Given they don't have any images that are new or information that is new I think we can assume it's fake. The press info available for this film must be vast, no?

pathetic and complete BS if you ask me !!! The film can not preview in Slovenia anyways until the 25th I believe!

This guy has never seen Alien Movies, and it's review is cheap..

It does seem damned odd that they'd have a preview for the press more than a week out, doesn't it? Usually the press are invited to a showing about a week or so before the opening.

Press can often see a movie weeks before its released. They're just instructed to not post full reviews until a certain date (usually within a week of the movie's release). If its real, and it definitely can be real, then we just have to read in between the lines. The minor discrepancies (40 years instead of 30 and incorrectly numbering the planet) could just be honest mistakes. It doesn't mean they haven't seen it. The important thing is they say the movie has depth and asks important questions. That's great! That seems to be what Ridley wanted to do. I wouldn't worry about the "monster developing in 30 minutes" critique. We all know that's normal in an Alien movie. Hell if this same person would have reviewed Alien he probably would have said the same thing. The only thing to possibly worry about is the "inconsistencies". I like to know what those are, but I'm not worried one bit.

Nobody has seen this yet...you can beat it to death, but in the end there is no need to preview this film....this is not a mere opening, this is an event...those are two distinct and discernable wholly separate packages. Let me put it another way...does anyone see Fox themselves touting advance previews for this film? By the way.....John D, nice effort, I know you're into the spirit of sharing, I along with many do appreciate that.

i wonder if he got free food also ,,,and missed 1/2 of the movie filling his face

If the film is as good as everyone wants it to be, and Fox has enough confidence in the product to show it off to the press at least a week prior, then you can be sure they are going to have advance previews. Word of mouth is the best advertising! A barrage of glowing advance reviews (think what happened with "The Avengers") will be quite handy in getting the non-Alien-fan moviegoing public to come out to this science-fiction horror film in a summer that's otherwise dominated by heroes in brightly colored spandex.
