Watching Alien Romulus. Not very good so far. The weird, fake Ian Holm looks absolutely terrible.

The hit rate for modern blockbusters is so low that we should have known better.

Having said that I'm still going to see Gladiator 2 tomorrow.

My eyes almost rolled out of my head at the "get away from her, you bitch" call back.

These idiot screenwriters just can't help themselves.

I was with the movie until the fake Ian Holm. It looked so bad that it really took me out of it and I never recovered.

He's a robot right? It's good that he looks uncanny and not quite human. It works in the story

That would work if we hadn't seen him looking normal in Alien.

It definitely looked and sounded great. Too bad about the annoying characters and stupid legacy sequel script.

You should fist your own ass and punch yourself in the nuts for hating on an awesome Alien movie.
