Goat wroteAlien 3 was pretty shit, it must be said. 4 was better on a sheer entertainment level.
No. No no no.
I used to hate Alien 3. When was the last time you watched it? It took me until many years later to get past the, let's be honest, EVIL opening scenes and see the quite good film that was hidden under all the studio interference. If you haven't already I'd advise watching the "Assembly Cut." It restores a lot of deleted scenes that actually help the damn thing make sense. For instance, Paul McGann doesn't just disappear but actually goes on to be crucial to the plot.
The fourth one was just a fucking disaster, the embodiment of shitty late 90s action films. I've actually read Whedon's original script, and to be fair to him a lot of the lines he wrote were delivered in completely the wrong way, but it was still a terrible story.
