Alien- no brainer for me and that is not due to current hype. I liked SW in the late 70s and early 80s but grew to find them too wholesome. The Alien franchise never gets old for me and I was always drawn to the darker stuff.

Sorry SW fans- I dropped that series like a hot potato when I got burned with that emo coming of age vibe I got with Episode 1.

Any Star Wars movie with Anakin in it sucked.  Whiney kid and Emo Anni lol killed the movie for me.

BD that is sacrilege.  First predator better than Alien?  You are here by banned to a single paragraph post for the next 30 days no more dissertations for you ! !

Rick shoots across the bow- but I agree. I hate that emo Anakin- WHAAAA! And his little Jar Jar too! I would love to see David go up against Vadar!

Please note that I deliberately don't mention SW ep 1 through 3, though I DO admit to watching them because I truly enjoy how Ewan MacGregor handles Obi Wan as a character.

That aside, I really dislike episodes 1-3, and consider the death of Padme at the end of ep 3 to be the WORST writing and death scene in history.

Ep 7, for me, was about The Last Voyage of Han Solo, a time to say 'Farewell' to a beloved character. I also focus more on the Ordinary NON-jedi folks in SW than the jedi...to me, the normal folks are much more interesting.

@Rick lol

Yeah its close though ;)

I think while they are similar they are also very different beasts, the settings that its...

I felt Aliens did a good job to Alien, but i felt Predator 2 was for the most part a disappointment.

My Ratings rounded up to half a mark are.

Alien 8.5/10

Predator 8.5/10

Aliens 8/10

Predator 2 6/10

Alien 3 6/10

Predators 5/10

Alien Resurrection 5/10

Prometheus 7/10

Yet Prometheus has me coming back to watch it over and over the same applies to Alien

What would a Binksomorph even look like?

Godzilla... Truly a God incarnate.

David needs to dump black goo on all things SW post ROTJ except for Rogue one which is highly recommended possibly.

Maybe that's Something Man Was Not Meant To Know :D

Frankly, my brain just stalls out when I try envisioning the Binksomorph. :)

...so, I thus consign the Binksomorph to the purview of the Noblest of Cephalopods...

Alien, without a doubt. Not even a contest.

 

Star Wars, as a space opera, is a lot of fun, but I don't go to the movies for sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. If I'm paying upwards of $10 for a box of Junior Mints, I'd better see blood, guts, spit and ass going 4 different directions and plenty of it! ;-)

Oh I know, I was just mentioning Star Trek to show that it wouldn't be too hard for me to give up the Star Wars franchise because it's not my favorite to begin with :)

DirtWolf Star Trek is part of my genetics really. I understand your meaning. I loved SW as a kid in the 70s and early 80s and don't GAF about it now. I loved ST as a kid and still watch it to this day. Big difference imo.

I love Star Trek but I hate it when they over use the Klingons or time travel. I heard in the new movie they want to make Kirk meet up with his father. So trite.

Time travel was in TOS so it doesn't bother me too much- but that was then when it was episode specific and seems weaker for excuses to make movies.

I liked Star Wars growing up. Followed them all closely just as I did with the Alien franchise once I got my courage at 11.

I have seen both of the new additions to Star Wars and enjoyed them. That being said, if I woke up tomorrow and Star Wars no longer existed, I'd be largely unaffected. The Alien franchise was actually integral to my development as a person. It heavily affected my interests and my personal world view.

Anytime I hear people getting up in arms about some issue or another I often think to myself "well at least you haven't been facehugged yet."

Star wars, no contest for me.

I am interested by the Xenomorph creature and some characters from all movies, but i am disapointed and underwhelmed by the engineers development to now.

On the other hands, i am fascinated by several concepts of Star Wars especially the force, i love the Siths(which are way more interesting than the Jedi) and i think that Star Wars Universe is more rich and more entertaining than the Alien Universe.

May the force be with everyone !
