Worst Decision In Alien 3

After finally having watched the movie, despite knowing the reputation it had and what not, I still wanted to watch the movie for myself and to make my own opinions on it. I owed to myself since I loved Alien and especially Aliens. The worst decision IMO the movie did was killing off Newt and Hicks. The two characters you could most care about in Aliens. Not the lulzy CGI Alien, nor some of the retarded prisoners, seeing Bishop come back to live for a short moment only to be taken away again, it was the damn lack of Newt and Hicks. I mean I understand the emotional malarkey that it allowed the movie, but c'mon, seriously? Six years after Aliens and they decided to let it go that way? Goddamn it guys. Way to kill off perfectly good characters in exchange for a wide cast of idiots (although there were some good ones). Even then, I still decently liked the movie. Not necessarily a bad one, but definitely no where on the level of the past two. Now on to watch Resurrection. Anyways, what did you think of Alien 3 when you saw it? What did you have against it?

  • I despise Alien 3. Newt was one of the best elements of the Alien franchise. Without her and her relationship with Ripley, Aliens would have been a b-movie at best. When they killed her in Alien 3, they dealt a serious blow to the franchise. Many fans were lost. The series, in my opinion, will never recover. The problem is that Hollywood just doesn't know when to quit. The Alien franchise could have gone out on a tremendously high note if Hill, Giler, and others has said no to Fox's request for another sequel. Then again, perhaps they couldn't say no to such a powerful organization. I wonder if their careers would have suffered if they did refuse.
