Re: Alien: Romulus

The director said that it's based on the first and second movies. I'm guessing that he means it uses suspense from the first and action from the second.

Re: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

FWIW, Fury retells the first movie very briefly, then rehashes the chase scene from the second movie and Bartertown from the third. Meanwhile, this new one reminds me of the Feral Kid.

By "hate," I mean something you don't like to watch.



Also, Godfather is an entertaining view of the Mafia. In contrast, try Donnie Brasco.
