Expect to see me commenting a whole lot more! But yeah, Covenant was a sweet entry, super curious to see how he ends the prequel trilogy and connects with Alien (1979).Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-50473055382009573002017-05-24T15:20:18.134-04:002017-05-24T15:20:18.134-04:00I concur.

Still as a film that bridges the two worlds it's another solid entry.<br />Thanks Fran.

Which is fine by me because Ridley has always been a crowd pleaser, right down to reediting Legend and giving it a new musical score just to satasfy the MTV audience. But thats good because to me it shows he wants to please us, he doesn't want to let us down. So yeah, I loved the look, I loved the depth, I loved that it continues the Prometheus story and that it was gory and violent and action packed. But I still think Prometheus is superior. Can't wait to think what he'll do with the final prequel, I hope Covenant makes its money back so we can see it. Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.com
