Alien^3 is fine.
Considering it went through development hell it turned okay. But man, what it could have been...
It has some great lines too.
Honestly I liked it, especially whatever extended cut. It took the series back to its survival horror roots. Aliens [Alien 2] was good, but it was an action movie, not a survival horror. I liked that the alien in 3 was a quadruped, and was fast, it was more terrifying than a guy in a rubber suit, like a ferocious wild animal. If only CGI at the time was better, that was the only campy thing about it.
I am not a huge fan.... it is kinda weird and does some annoying stuff... but yeah it isn't the worst movie in the world [COUGH ALIEN RESURRECTION COUGH] but some of the stuff they did was just terrible especially for the way the series was. Just to throw away Newt and Hicks like yesterday's garbage was the worst.
Now Alien 4.... or whatever it was called.... I remember ONE thing I liked about that movie [the alien killing the other alien to spill the acid to get out I thought was kinda a neat idea... although I guess they could have just cut themselves a bit but I guess same thing] but everything else in that movie. I mean the whole movie is like sigourney weaver is looking so sad she has to even say the lines they are making her say "Who do I have to F*** on this ship..." [or something like that]. So much about tha tmovie ...
Weaver banning the production from using guns was pants-on-head retarded.
Her being a producer on the film resulted in the film being far worse off then it had any right to be. The behind the scenes nonsense just made it worse.
I tried to give it a chance by watching the assembly cut but I still hate that movie with a burning passion, especially what they did to Newt and Hicks.
Alien3 is good, but it makes Aliens worse. Watch it, but pretend it isn't canon.
I totally agree. I wouldn'tq uite call it good.... I found it alright.... except for when you realize it is an Aliens movie. It totally does make the movie Aliens a worse movie if you consider Alien 3 cannon. It makes everything about Newt and Hicks and what is done for them in Aliens just a worthless joke. So, I legit just pretend it isn't cannon on that one. How do you mess up a movie so bad it actually lowers the quality of a separate movie like Aliens xD?
Danny glover was awesome in 2. He's a commie, but a damn good movie.
I noticed this with Star Wars the other day: the number of bad movies in the series now positively dwarfs the good. The Star Wars brand has been so thoroughly tainted that it is now a reliable marker of the absence of quality.
The same thing has happened to star trek, predator, terminator, and alien. Even LOTR is now a coin flip after the atrocious Hobbit trilogy. The studios have tapped these franchise wells so frequently and so ineffectively that you are best served avoiding these IPs altogether.
Good/Bad ratio for Star Wars is 7/4.
