I wasn't crazy about the characters in Aliens but I generally have a hard time connecting with Marine types. I find them amusing but I never really feel sorry for them or whatever. On the contrary, I actually quite liked the crew in Alien: Resurrection. Weird how things work sometimes.

I did really like Bishop though, always been a sucker for Lance Henriksen.

 

Alien had my favourite cast of characters though. It's also the one where I liked Ripley the best. I loved how she starts off as a really quiet character actually, and I never got the sense that she's "the main character" throughout much of the money. But she grows into that role after a while and it feels very natural.

 

I really liked John Hurts character and I'm always sad that he dies first. But really, I enjoy all the character in Alien and I think they compliment each other really well. Ash gets the "wtf" nomination because how utterly freaked out I got when he started showing his android tendencies. That moment in the film is really one of the best because it *totally* comes out of left field and really escalates the horror and panic. It's awesome.

Weird, exactally the word for that crew. And annoying. That's another good word for them.
