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 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.
