Right, so I just wanted to make the point that the alien films with Sigourney Weaver are kinda same flavour as the Riddick films with Vin Diesel, and that the Sigoureny movies are better. Prove me wrong! Or come up with something better than either :)

Aliens is more similar to Pitch Black, but it's a fair comparison, and, yeah, Aliens is the better movie.

Part of it is the cast/writing. Can you name any other character in Pitch Black besides Riddick? LOL.

Aliens - Ripley, Newt, Bishop, Burke, Hicks, Hudson, Gorman, Apone, Vasquez.

    You mean like Jack (both actresses), the Imam (Keith David!), Radha Mitchell, and Claudia Black? I'm generally bad at character names, but can recall the actors.

    True, that. But aside from Jack and the imam, most of the characters were a bit one dimensional. Though TBF they weren't all supposed to last long. Box Boy (in the second one IIRC) was a pretty good character, as was Dahl. Dame Vasco in the third movie was pretty well written too.
