After finally having watched the movie, despite knowing the reputation it had and what not, I still wanted to watch the movie for myself and to make my own opinions on it. I owed to myself since I loved Alien and especially Aliens. The worst decision IMO the movie did was killing off Newt and Hicks. The two characters you could most care about in Aliens.
Not the lulzy CGI Alien, nor some of the retarded prisoners, seeing Bishop come back to live for a short moment only to be taken away again, it was the damn lack of Newt and Hicks. I mean I understand the emotional malarkey that it allowed the movie, but c'mon, seriously? Six years after Aliens and they decided to let it go that way?
Goddamn it guys. Way to kill off perfectly good characters in exchange for a wide cast of idiots (although there were some good ones). Even then, I still decently liked the movie. Not necessarily a bad one, but definitely no where on the level of the past two. Now on to watch Resurrection.
Anyways, what did you think of Alien 3 when you saw it? What did you have against it?

I hated that movie. It basically took a shit on everything the franchise had once been. I wish it had never been made, same thing for Alien Resurrection. I'd like to see a real sequel to Aliens made by a decent director and good writers, one that just outright retcons Alien 3 and 4.
