I remember reading some commentary about the so-called director's cut of Blade Runner (the one sans Deckard's voiceover). It was pointed out that everyone that viewed it did so while recollecting the voice-over that they could remember was originally there. So to say that the director's cut was the better version is a very simplistic interpretation of the experience. A similar thing could also be said of the various Alien3 versions.

Covenant feels far less "hated" than Alien 3 was. With Covenant, I feel most thought "meh". Alien 3 was hated the minute Newt, Hicks and Bishop died. That's in the first five minutes!

I think X about Y, and it cannot be disputed because of Z.

Yeah, I sometimes forget some people don't have English as a first language.

It just seems different I guess.
I feel like a lot of todays action films seem to start out with action set pcs and pepper them through out.

I was being sarcastic.

Its barely even an action film by todays standards.
Isnt the first actual alien shown almost an hour into the film? Then it builds incredible tension until it crescendos with the queen .
I always felt it was a perfect formula of tension, terror, and action.
