for instance I find Aliens to be 'more entertaining' than Alien, but as far as which is the 'better' movie, well I'd have to give it to the original.

Ok, why? What makes that connection in your mind? Why is something that you enjoy more worse than something you don't?

I am being sincere here, I don't understand the logic you are attempting to use.

Alien captured a feeling, something hard to capture on screen. Not sure it has ever been matched tbh. Aliens I've seen like 20 times because I love the action scenes. If I was gonna sit down and watch one of the two again, I'd likely pick Aliens, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Alien is still a 'better' movie.

Another example is Terminator 1 and 2. I personally think the first Terminator is way more fun to watch, but when people say T2 is a better movie, well it is hard to argue because it really had a more developed story and had better cinematography.

Alien is more of a work of art and Aliens is a sci fi action flick. I like campy bullshit but I can appreciate art.

Also, sorry for wording it like that I really wasn't calling you a CE troll critic so much I was just saying that he's not gonna find a paid movie reviewer that says 2016 is equal or better than the 84. Ghostbusters 2, maybe, because it wasn't very well received at the time anyway.
