I actually thought Spider-Man 3 was the best out of the trilogy, Anyway, I think Casino Royale is better than any bond film the came before it.

You mean the series peaked at the third one and had its occasional ups and downs as it went along right?

Aliens is not better than the original, you guys are cray cray if you think that.

Alien is masterfully done in every way, the pacing is flawless, the music sublime and atmospheric, the feeling of hopelessness with no safe haven. It's pretty much a perfect sci-fi/horror film. I'll take a slow burner like that over a big budget non-stop action film like Aliens any day.
