Yea the Alien franchise is pretty solid front to back if you ask me.

Didn’t love finding out the origin of the Alien. Took all the mystery away. But other than that totally agree.
Aliens up to 3 is great. The last 2(?) not so much.

I think Predators is solid. But yeah Predator 2 and The Predator are garbo.

Lost boys. Also should have been one and done.
First is a classic.
The following two are so terrible. Not even in the fun bad but good way.

Dunno. Temple is mad divisive. Last crusade pulled it back on the rails (eh? ;) )

Good franchise, but 1 and 2 are superior.

I didn’t say I was making the argument. But there is one to be made.

4 is poor, but 123 are good. Temple was so much fun as a kid.

I would say the last ones are the best, although it was solid throughout, and the first ones are more charming.

Initially was so disappointed by crystal skull but watched it recently and it’s great fun. It’s got flaws for sure but the ridiculous jeep chase /fight sequence through the jungle and over the waterfall is a good example of it being just pure Indy fun. You have to buy in and not be too hard on it.


*the fridge bit is unforgivable as is Shia shithead. But they don’t drag the whole down.
