Eject this bomb into deep space
Aug 25, 2007
Gromit - imdb.com
Alien 3 is the 3rd installment in the Alien series. The original, Alien, is one of the best sci fi/horror films ever made and its sequel, Aliens, although no where near the quality of the original, is a good film.... Full review
An abomination of near-epic proportions

One would love to have heard the story planning sessions for this abysmal third film that pretty much put the final nail in the series coffin before a lackluster attempt to revive it with another ill-fated fourth film. Ridley Scott's... Full review
This movie should have never been made...

I really don't understand how this film could have a 6.0 out of 10. The plot is boring and it destroys all of the characters to start off. Hicks and Newt are DOA, and Ripley goes on to turn her... Full review

During this movie I found watching the inside of my eyelids much more appealing. Something was just plain wrong about the whole movie. The biggest problem was that I didn't care about any of the characters but Ripley. This film... Full review

David Fincher has populated his movie with a metric ton of completely unsympathetic characters. The alien spends most of its time chasing random, interchangeable bald convicts to their doom. (They even *look* the same!) Anyone who begins to show some... Full review

**SPOILERS AHEAD**I can't help thinking how much better this film could have been, had a more talented writer and director been set to work on it, artists who had a better feel for the series. As it is, I just... Full review
Pales in comparison

" This is rumor control, and these are the facts.." Alien 3 pales in comparison to the previous two films. It seems David Fincher wanted to combine the elements of the first two films to create a dark, foreboding action... Full review
Absolutely bloody terrible
May 21, 2000
Villi-3 - imdb.com
This film has to be the worst of the series. Whereas Alien 4 would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic, this is terrible in every way. Alien had only one, super-intelligent, creature. Aliens successfully altered the formula by having... Full review
One of the most disappointing sequels of all time
Apr 23, 2000
Mark Guthrie - imdb.com
(Spoilers ahead)The only film I can think of that I knew I hated before the opening credits even finished. Aliens was by far my favorite of all the movies in this series and before the opening credits are even done,... Full review
Worst sequel ever made?
Oct 17, 1998
TORSO! - imdb.com
"Alien" was a relentlessly bleak, beautifully atmospheric masterpiece of horror and dread, one of the few truly adult examples of the science fiction genre. Its sequel, "Aliens," was far less disturbing, aiming more for visceral, action-movie thrills; nonetheless, it was... Full review
