Here's Scriptshadow's review of the movie. Usually they review unmade scripts, though sometimes they review actual films. (They have a review of Aliens and Alien 3 as well.)

Don't shoot the messenger. I didn't give any opinion at all here. I was just pointing out the fact that in that page, we are looking at one reviewer's opinion against hundreds of negative comments.

I was just a reader.

Do you mean to say that there are negative comments in the comments section of webpages on the Internet?

I think it's a safe bet that most of those are retrospective reviews...

Hard to tell, RT lists Ebert's review as being posted in 2000, though it's from 1986. Either way, the film was critically lauded on release. Probably the only Alien film to receive such positive critical reviews upon its theatrical showing. Critics were kinder to Alien later.

Amazing amount of confusion concerning the moon's name over there and in the comments :P

Inverse Effect

Woudlnt be supprised if the directors cut got alot of praise for being a better movie. its kinda like kingdom of heaven? The original cut sucked ass but the directors cut is awesome.

Hopefully they add the scene between Shaw's csection and her meeting Weyland. It's like they just skipped a part.
