Though the latest Alien movie actually received broadly positive reviews from critics, the fan response was decidedly more negative, with most deeming the film a colossal disappointment.

In many ways the Alien franchise is like pizza: even when it sucks, it's still somewhat enjoyable. Covenant, while essentially serving as a Greatest Hits tour of the series, complete with asinine characters, a likeable hero dying unsatisfyingly off-screen and a laughably predictable ending, is not the return to form Ridley Scott promised fans after Prometheus.

And yet, it's still a fun movie. The awesome visuals, the brutal gore and the return of the Xenomorph all add up to a brainlessly entertaining - if undeniably underwhelming - rollercoaster ride that's certainly never boring.
