Give it a chance people

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2010)

OK, where do I start. This movie is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I find it the most stylish of all the movies with the Gothic overtones and definitely is the darkest of the four films(AVP does not count. Because its crap) The soundtrack is fabulous and really adds so much to this film. Do not blame David Fincher if the movie does not make sense at some points. I think he did fairly well for working with several unfinished scripts.
Although alien 3 although not the expected shoot em' up that Aliens had set it up for still has a fine story and plenty of action. The casting was great as all characters felt believable and you could slightly empathize with some characters.
Although killing off Newt and Hicks which for some people killed the movie, Alien 3 manages to please those who will take the time to look at it not a the bastard successor to Aliens but a smart, dark and beautiful movie of survival and the (at the time) ending of a fantastic series.
