Aliens in alien invasion movies are invariably stupid, otherwise there is no way they would be defeated. Which alien race from these movies is, in your opinion, the LEAST stupid?

Oh, Frakking great question. I will have to think on this one.
I’m going to start with Mars Attacks, mostly because they got to attack the White House and it was the stupid humans who let them.

Scanners

Cowboys and Aliens. The aliens weren’t to bright but they were quick.

@Jaxk That movie is a secret favorite of mine. I just love the casting in that.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

@Zaku Oh good one. They win in that one.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

But were those really invasions? Could it be these “stupid” aliens might be too advanced it’s just one of the many ways they entertain themselves pretending to attack only to be defeated? You know, see a bit of drama. And then they move on to another planet with an orange colored blob as President?

The aliens in the TV show Falling Skies were pretty f’in smart.
