Meh, it was alright.

Rating: 5/10 (18 February 2012)

This is my first time watching the second and third movies, and only watching the first movie twice, I'm obviously not a die-hard super fan like others reviewing this movie.
I quite liked it, the acting was pretty good, the concept was good. It was pretty slow paced with a few exciting scenes mixed in every so often. One thing that really annoyed me about it was the actual Alien itself. It looked just terrible, the first movie got it right so I don't see why they felt the need to add a CGI one in instead.
Also, Hicks and Newt - for Ripley to do all of that at the end of Aliens and then just have them die right at the start of Alien 3, well it was annoying, but I also understood that it pretty much could have ended up being Aliens all over again if the writers had kept them alive, I don't really see how they would have survived or fit in with the story.
I'm no expert on these movies, but I'm still going to say that Alien is the better out of the three.
