mate that is blatantly incorrect. alien 3 is awesome. its just unfortunate it comes 3rd in series behind alien and aliens. the extended cut is almost the movie it could have been. its a shame the studio fucked it from the start.
Agreed, but you can't ignore the awfulness that is Alien: Resurrection when making the comment that AVP ruined the Alien franchise.
I can and I did. But I do agree that Rsurrection was utter shite but shone like an oscar winning drama compared to AvP. Some things should never reach the big screen.
I think I'm just in an 'I'm-so-old-I've-seen-it-all-before'kind of state at the mo'. I'd never pay money to see anything with aliens or predators in again. Tedium.
I recall watching films and telling my old man about them and that he mustc watch them and we'd get them on rental and watch them and he'd get up after 15 minutes and wander off....I know exactly why he did that now and frequently do it myself.
Am, I going to sit through 3 hours of shite (Avatar) or do something constructive with my day....my son tried to tell me about it later and without having watched the final two thirds of the film, i told him exactly what happened.
I can tell you exactly what happens in Predators too. Never have to watch it.
Sad.
but true.
