big disapointment

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2002)

I remember seeing this movie in the theatre and was so p***ed off I wanted to find the writers (Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett) and set their hair on fire. This movie left me with the same feelings as Attack of the Clones, a really great series shot to hell.
I agree with some other posters, that we feel no compassion for Ripley any more and she just becomes this stupid cyborg type creature. Also, Wynonna Rider is awfull as the android, who was the casting genius who came up with this? Ron Perlman's character is stupid, boring and a ripoff of every "hard-ass" wise cracking tough guy in every movie ever, only done really poorly.
Also, the ending is very stupid, somehow I doubt that a huge creature of flesh and bone with be sucked out through a tiny hole in the hull. I know the vacuum suction in space is strong, but is it that strong? Somehow I doubt it.
Of course, the absolute worst thing about this movie, the scene that made me so mad I wanted to pull out my own teeth, was the scene where Ripley finds all the "mistakes" of her cloning. This was actually a very powerfull scene, extremely disturbing and an effective comment on genetic cloning. Yet after we see all this awfull, frightening footage, Ron Perlman's character comes in with his "Must be a chick thing" line that made me so frickin angry! What an awfull way to ruin the only effective thing about the movie with some stupid, low-grade, crass humour. Uggghhh!!!!
