With a bunch of explosions and intense gun battles in the vein of its predecessor Aliens? I wonder if that was another gripe that people had with Alien 3, since Aliens is generally considered to be the most popular (or "mainstream accessible") of the Ripley-verse movies.
Even though I prefer by far the first two installements, I too don't understand all the hate for it. All right yes it drags on here and there... but there is a more psychological aspect more present than in the first two movies.
Alien 4 on another hand.....
the hate for this film is just fanboy mob think, spearheaded by its worthless sack of shit director.
shareI think people wanted Ripley, Hicks and Newt to go and become the Alien fighting family
shareNo we did not.
Hicks / the guy from T1 can't lead an action movie.
That's why T2 is superior.
As for Newt, she was good enough for one movie.
Anything more than that would've turned it into a family comedy adventure.
Correct ,
but about 50% of the threads here are along the lines of "Alien 3 is shit because Hicks & Newt are dead"
Nah, I think that is over thinking it. I think people hated this one because Ripley was bald and not, like, hot
I think people wanted the movie that could have been. I mean you think about the surviving crew of Alien 2 crashlanded on a prison planet and you have a real recipe for thriller. Could have capped off Alien as one of the great all time trilogies.
shareAliens is just a better movie.
This wasn't bad, it just didn't measure up to Aliens, or Alien for that matter, which was a rather slow paced, atmospheric film for the most part.
I sure did. I remember seeing this in the movie theaters being bored out of my skull and really angry that this was so awful. I know I saw it, but I have no recall of what it was about, or of it being interesting, entertaining or even having decent special effects. I just act like it never existed.
shareAlien 3 is easily better than Aliens. If I wanted to watch a video game I'd just play one.
