Did you watch the video before writing this comment?

I agree with many things you say. But including Schrödinger into the mix is kind of talking against your point when you have seen the drinkers review and this review of his review. The best way to explain is. I have no problem that they make sequels or remakes. I wish they didnt but I will not start a war from them doing so... But the problem with Romulus and most movies made today is that there is zero originality to them. They think they are original by bringing us changes to the original film but it makes me question - specially watching Romulus if they actually understganf the universe. They choose to use shit from the old films that was the only stuff fans hated back then. I remember when all of the sequels came out and I read about them for weeks because I love the universe. And what people hated the most with the third film is the ending and beginning. He did not re-use that in this straight from the 3 film but what he did was making his own version of that with the same terrible result. If they made a remake og sequel to the 3 alien film in a prison with the same plot line withouyt Weaver - using old men, without weapons, kind of bad guys your following against alien it would have been great. people dig that from the third. Secondly he choose to use the only thing everyone out there hated with the 4th film. Create a sub monster - mutated alien monster. I have no idea what the point of this is? We already have perfect aliens to be used in a film. We dont need the rest... Its stupid, it has never worked in any alien film and fans have always said it is a terrible choice. Then he went into the explanation of the black stuff from Prometheus that was the thing absolute everyone who criticezed that film hated. And he choose to do that in Romulus - and reason for that is so he could go into the mutation... I find that so freakin weird and it makes me wonder if Hollywood has turned very low intelectual. I can break down almost every choice of Romulus looked from a alien fan. Looked from a movie fan. Or just a regular audience and give you exact reason why this movie is terrible bad in my book. And I am sad that people like it. Just like the evil dead remake. I found it very bland and very forced. And to use your saying about Schrödinger. Well that is about 2 different sides of one thing. But Alien Romulus is one side. They use all the stuff that most of the peoiple out there hate. And they could have picked the other side. But they want to please the people who get pleased all the time from hollywood crap. Braindead entertainment that makes zero new questions, used terrible cgi stuff and on top of that cast a film with characters that dont fit the world and makes everything 100 times more worst for the audience to enjoy. Ps. I hope I did not offend anyone because in this chat it seems like people get offended just by reading statements against hollywood or the stuff we are getting these days... A. they

Thank you 🙏 It's good to see I'm not the only one. I mean, it's ok that some people didn't like or were not crazy about it, but so many people have been commenting here saying AR is awful, terrible etc. Insulting those who like it as dummmies used to watching trash and so on and so forth. I think they just want to see it smeared so Nerd and TCD will be right

@@DarkSpotting I just read all your comments 🤣 it looks like me and you are in the minority, at least here. I know plenty of people that liked the film. In time I think many will come to see it’s a good entry to the series. Great video, earned a new sub 👍😁

Thanks for your empathy and for your sub! 🙏

It's ok, it's not my first language either, but the fact that you need to insult people who liked it is not ok.

@@DarkSpotting were did I insult anyone? Calling somehting that is said bullcrap? If that is insulting we are in dangerous times...

Can you articulate why you didn't like it without using derogatory language?

@@DarkSpotting Feelin' offended? I felt offended by Romulus. Does anybody care?

I'm not feeling offended but I want to keep a clean environment, so please try to be respectful.

@@DarkSpotting But it ain't dirty when one says a film is shit. That's basically an opinion. Should I have typed "It's a bad movie?" Nope, it's not bad. It's way worse. Resurrection was bad. Romulus is a pile of dog «feces».

I'm glad there's someone else out there who liked the movie 👋🏻 thanks for the comment! I think they simply have too much of a vested interest in blasting Disney to say Romulus was a great movie

Then why did he call it a "disaster"?

Please, try to avoid insulting those who don't share your point of view.

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏 I also think there channels with the hallmarks you describe and I'm generally ok as in I don't agree but live and let live. In this particular case I thought someone had to highlight that they went against all they've said for years purely for personal interest.

Ian Holm's cgi recreation was indeed not on par with the rest of the movie 😔

Agree to disagree!

That wasn't actually Ash. That was a different android that had the same appearance, named Rook.

@@brendonw456 absolutely shite writing

Well, I wanna thank you for your comment because you articulated your opinion instead of insulting straight away. Ergo, you're always welcome here! You touch many subjects so I will reply when I have a bit more time but.. you haven't seen the movie yet and you already have a bad opinion of it? Shouldn't you try to watch it with an open mind first?

@@DarkSpotting Read my comments carefully. I will give it a chance I.e. with an open mind. I have been surprised before but I don't have high hopes after the last few alien movies. And yes, sometimes like Civil War I actually commented on drinkers review that he was wrong about that movie giving examples of my reasoning

It's ok that you didn't like it, but everything points to Romulus being an amazingly successful movie that the fan base loves and wants more of. It's very likely that 1 or more sequels will get green-lit, which I'm extremely happy and excited about.

@@DarkSpotting Ofc success is the only thing that matters. That’s how we have arrived at cinematic masterpieces like Fast & Furious 10.

@@rogbard I'm looking forth to "Fast and furious: To Infinity and beyond" with Cyborg Vin Disel

@@DarkSpotting Or it could just be that that it's just a bit better then the crap served before it. if you serve a man water and stale bread for years and then once day you give him spoiled milk and stale bread, he will think he's eating well, but in reality he's still eating sub par food! SO the reason this one might seam great is just because it's a bit better then the crappy ones before it, but it's still not as good at the first or second movie in the series! A less anecdotal example, the state of Star Wars movies, the first trilogy great, awesome , more please, the second trilogy aka the Prequels, mediocre at best, with it's strong points here and there, in comes the Sequels, so bad over all from both a story telling PoV as well as lore wise and a technical PoV since the trilogy before it had better effects with les of a budget! Suddenly the Prequels are not that bad, suddenly they are actually OK they go above average all the way to good. Why did this happen? because the Sequel Trilogy was just so bad that it made the movies before it seam great. same here it's not good, it's just better then poop. Granted that might mean that in the future they can make better sequels, but you have to ask your self, do you really want "Aliens Infinity"? Because with every movie the lore gets more and more meh, it just exists, it's not good it's not bad it just uninteresting. I share the view of many including these two, that Hollywood is lacking imagination, yes old IPs are almost guaranteed hitters, but where is the new stuff?

Haha mediocrity doesn’t hit a +80% positive critic and audience score and millions of dollars profit for no reason. Your comment is mediocre though if you wanna real example.

They are attacking a movie simply because it came from Disney, which is their sworn enemy.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@DarkSpotting that’s YOU being dishonest. Disney is not their sworn enemy. That’s melodramatic. Disney is disappointing them and has been for a decade. Erect all the straw men you like, but none of them are Will or Gary. Those two expect Disney to fail because failure is modern Disney’s track record, but 9 times out of 10 “It’s bad because Disney did it” is a retrospective justification. For example: “This live action remake was a soulless, poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed facsimile of the animated film that inspired it, better suited as propaganda for social revolution than entertainment, but what was I expecting? Disney have done this 17 of the last 18 times they made a celebrated cartoon in live action”. The “it’s bad because it was done the Disney way” argument is the conclusion to the observation that it was bad on its own merit, and on top of that it’s bad in the same way every single predecessor was bad. Alien was a tanking Fox property, Disney bought it, Disney (and Scott) squandered it. It was to be expected, Alien hasn’t had a good entry in the last nearly 4 decades. Romulus is the fusion of a franchise in free fall and a studio in free fall. Of course it was going to be a stupid, retcon and contrivance infested embarrassment.

I'm ok with diverging opinions, but there's no need for calling names. RUclips is a big space and if criticism towards Nerdrotic and TCD irks you so much, it means you have a problem.

@realistic_delinquent Nerdrotic and The Critical Drinker have chosen a commercial strategy which is to PANDER to a specific politically-defined subset of fandom. They make money by blasting anything coming from Disney, and they would make less money if they were more objective and less superficial in their reviews. You seem to belong to their target market, so nothing I say will ever make you think independently.

@realistic_delinquent Also, you use the word "Disney" in your comment 7 times (perhaps more, I'm reading from a cell phone), which proves my point. You are obsessed, and those guys pander to you. It could be argued that there is a little Panderverse inside RUclips and Gary and TCD are the Kathleen Kennedys of it.

You have the right to an opinion, of course, but you are in a very tiny minority because Romulus is a huge financial and critical success.

Production value for Alien: Romulus was low? Could you elaborate on that?

@@warhippy6934 Actually you made a lot of assumptions in your breakdown. Where did you come up with that number for marketing costs? I think you are referring to marketing costs for much bigger productions, like Marvel movies for instance.

@warhippy6934 also... you are basically saying everyone who liked the movie is used to watching garbage. Don't you think that's a bit arrogant? And very superficial, I might add?

Do you have any reputable source for the numbers you cite? Do you work in the industry and have an insider who told you a ballpark number for Romulus marketing costs?

From what I can see from box office and review aggregators it's pretty clear that way more people agree with me than they agree with you. But the point of the video is that Nerdrotic and TCD are hypocritical in attacking this movie because they're going against eveything they've said for years.

@@DarkSpotting just bc a billion ppl eat at McDonald's doesn't make it good. Nice try though...

You have the right to an opinion, but you belong to a tiny minority. Alien: Romulus is a huge financial and critical success.

@@DarkSpotting That doesn't mean anything. SAO was a financial success, The monster verse was a critical and financial success, and the Shawshank Redemption and the Thing were critical failures when they came out. Bad things can be popular and good things can be hated.

@HiddelS143 which is saying everything and nothing. If you want to know why I consider Romulus an amazing movie you can watch my spoiler-free review, where I get into specifics. If you still don't like it it's ok, I have no problems with people not sharing my point of view. Thanks for the comments anyway. Have yourself a nice day!

Why?

@@DarkSpotting I want to see how you fair against their arguments, as they're fair harder to refute.

I'm sorry if you can't accept different opinions and you took it personally that I criticized your idols, but that doesn't change the fact that their reviews of Romulus were very dishonest.

@@DarkSpotting You're reading my response in bad faith, I was just curious how you'd respond to more in-depth analysis of this film. Considering how you're responding to me, however, I can only assume you wouldn't handle it well.

@@fotzegamingandmedia1840 Ok, sorry iff it sounded contentious. Could you please articulate a bit better next time?

That's exactly my point. They attack a good movie which is doing great with the existing fanbase only because they have been hating on Disney and Hollywood since they started.

Thank you for your objective feedback! Maybe you could be my marketing consultant 👍🏻

@mikusoxlongius You are right! We all need help, one way or another.

I just subbed to him what r u talking about

I use their names because the video is about them. It's not clickbait, it's letting potential viewers know the topic of the video.

Thank you so much for subscribing and for your comment! 🙏

👋🏻

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't want to get into a political argument, but I care about that movie and I thought their treatment was simply dishonest

Did they watch Romulus? 😯

Thank you, fellow Alien-buff! Spoiler review will come soon!

We all have our preferences and opinions, and I respect yours, but... how is Freddy less supernatural than Art?

Yeah, there are some parallels 😅

I find your lack of faith in Fede Alvarez disturbing. This movie is gonna blow your balls off. Guaranteed

Google says 1h 59m!

@@DarkSpotting TY

My ticket booked here in Glasgow Fri 16th aug 4DX 18:10 pm can't wait now all we need is alien isolation 2 🤞🏻 enjoy the film when you see it mate

@johnshawdocherty7594 So? Did you like it?

@@DarkSpotting Aye especially in 4DX looking forward to the TV show now

Which kid are you referring to? The sweet little girl from the previous teaser?

@@DarkSpotting the beginning of your video with the Santa scene and the little boy comes into the living room and art is putting presents under tree and then has an axe in his hand . This scene is from terrifier 3

Oh ok. Sorry but I got that mixed up because of the latest video about T3 I made! 😅 Anyway, I think the first teaser does not feature scenes that will be in the movie. My impression - and I might be 100% off the mark, of course! - is that that teaser was simply meant to suggest the setting and tone for the upcoming movie. I'm quite convinced that there will be a scene involving a child being murdered by Art, but it will be a that shows his first kill, Emily Crane, and how Sienna's father witnessed it. I agree with you that it's a sensitive topic. Many horror channels pointed out that Art has already done it in "All Hallow's Eve", but that was actually off-screen. If it does happen in this movie I doubt it will be something on par with Allie's bedroom scene. I will see the movie anyway because I am invested in Sienna and Joanathan as characters and in awe of Leone's creativity, but I'll probably cover my eyes during that scene.

Excited for the movie? 🙂

@@DarkSpotting Can't wait!

I'm assuming you mean the video as well, not just the trailer 😬 so THANK YOU! 🙏

@@DarkSpotting yes absolutely, great presentation and explanation, lets hope the movie is just as exciting.

@@azureblue5757 Yes! Let's hope the movie is a masterpiece so we'll get more Alien products which I can't get enough of 😬

I could be entirely wrong (well... maybe 50% wrong 🤓) but it's SO MUCH FUN to speculate on movies I care for! and it's even more awesome that someone is interested in listening to my ramblings... Thanks for your kind words! Have a great day

@@nemomarc7841 I think andy will be remote controlled the whole time by ash or muthur and are revealed as the big bad (besides the alien)

Alright, lots of material here! In order: 1. This is spot on according to the trailers 2. The recovery of the specimen from the first movie looks also extremely probable by now, but I'm more inclined to think it wasn't it to wreak havoc on the station but either the other specimens biologically engineered from its dna or Ash himself by releasing them on unsuspecting scientists (I have less elements to sustain this theory but it's also a possibility within the frame of the main theory expressed in my video). 3. Not entirely sure about the Black Goo being in the corridor otherwise there would be far more chaos, but you're right about the similarity with Station LV-426's nest! The question about seeing a queen in the film is a million dollar question and I really really hope we will! 4. That's an eagle-eye you've got! Good observation! it could be 5. Also very likely 6. Also an eagle-eye observation! didn't notice it 7. I hope they both survive and I hope there will be sequels to this movie to further explore these characters that I'm already fond of Thanks for your comment and points! It's cool to discuss this stuff

We sure will and I can't wait 🤩 thanks for the comment!

I know, but I mentioned that an AI can transfer its memory! At least I hope so because Ash would make for an incredible villain. Thanks for the comment!

That's from "Alien: Dead Orbit", right? I'm not sure the novels and comics are canon but it's possible! Thanks for your input

That's a cool theory, and it makes sense because Ridley Scott's third entry in the prequel series was, imho, most certainly going to tie up at least some loose ends regarding the corporation on earth and David's overarching role. In fact, David and the ship at the end of Covenant were most likely headed to Earth, so kudos to your reasoning. In fact, I am fairly certain that the Alien TV show that just wrapped filming is going to feature even more connections to the prequels and movies in the series as well as being focused on AI inside Weyland-Yutani. Thanks for the comment!

...but he could have transmitted its data from the life boat as well, right? 57 years is a LOOOOONG TIME... long enough for Ash to do all the stuff I describe in the theory! Just my 2 cents, of course!

@@DarkSpotting no if you read out of the shadows you would know the life boats communications were damaged. That's why ash infiltrated the Marion system and was trying to send a distress out to Weyland yutani and get Ripley infected while they were on the surface getting a fusion core to escape.

That's the core element of my theory in this video and I really really hope that's the case! thanks for the comment

Thanks! I'm very glad you liked it!
