this lol

In retrospect it's not a bad movie. It's far from hot garbage and but not exactly an A+ quality movie. The plot is good enough. It's generally well acted. It was a cool alien human hybrid. Had some great scenes. It does a great job of keeping the "species" sexy, mysterious and terrifying.

Species 2, while i get what they were going for, it was still a mess of a movie and just a bit too much. The male alien form was also comically bad. However it does set up to the third movie quite nicely.

Species 3, is pretty solid. Probably the best movie of the bunch oddly enough. They tried to go much more into what the hell "species" was. Had some great moments. We see the downsides to what a male "species alien" does. Unlike his female counterpart he was willing to get anything pregnant and created a bunch of "sick" children. Unlike the female who was very selective in her breeding partner.

Species 4, a nice attempt at a reboot to revive the franchise. A solid starting point. Sadly we never get the sequel.

In 4 movies, the biggest flaw is, they never really give any clear indication what the "species" is beyond it makes everyone an alien hell bent on mass reproduction. Why did the alien even pick up our signal in the first place? Why was on it mars? Is it just a parasite or does it have it's own form? It really doesn't go into it's own lore enough.

All and all, a fun series, a bit too much gore and graphic content at times, but it fits the plot most of the time, and the only real offensive one is the second one which is just crazy over the top with it.

This seems like a pretty good summary. There's nothing that bad about Species, its just another B-list Horror exploitation movie, it just came like 25 years after those were common. Even the awful Species movies are better than some other "horror/Thriller" type movies that would barely qualify as a movie (crappy shark movies)

It scared the shit out of me as a kid. I got to the sex scene where she impaled the guy's head with a tentacle and noped out. I haven't gotten around to seeing it since.

Fuck, I feel like watching all of the Species movies again, now.

thanks and thinking about it, it's probably one of the better B-list horror exploitation movies floating around. That type of movie has a lot of hot garbage. I think it's helped by the fact that the first movie had a bit more budget than your average b-list film, so it got that extra polish. Even movie 2 if I remember right had a pretty expensive budget, spending a ton on blood.

I just watched it on Youtube over the weekend.

I give it an 8/10. Pretty good sci-fi thriller with an antagonist you actually might root for (and no, not just because she has Natasha Henstridge's good looks.)

Here are my ratings for the first 3 movies, still haven't gotten around to Awakening yet.

Species - 7.5/10. I never saw this movie as a kid but I always thought the whole point of it was to see Natasha Henstridge naked, and while that is good, this movie is so much more than that, it is a pretty awesome sci-fi thriller with an all around great cast.

Species II - 6/10. Michael Madsen was probably the best character in the original so I was happy he was back for the sequel. The special effects are very solid in this, but there really isn't anything you haven't seen in the original here.

Species III - 5/10. While the other two had a lot of fun scenes and dialogue, this one takes itself way too seriously. Combine that with a bunch of dull characters and it leaves you with a pretty meh movie.

While I agree the characters weren't the most thrilling, I did like that it took itself seriously. It was the one movie of the 4 that actually tried to explain what the alien species was. And we got a somewhat decent look into it even if it remained a mystery. Plus it really played off of species 2 quite well.
