So I caught this movie last night, and was taken back to when I was younger, and loved the ever loving hell out of it. After watching it last night, I still love it. I honestly cannot fathom why people dislike it so much. And so I put it you, FAN. Those of you that don't like it, why? I hear a lot of complaints about Newt, Hicks, and Bishop being killed off, but I'm more curious about the movie AS IS, and why people don't like it?
Granted, it could easily be that this is the one Alien movie I had on tape, and so I learned to love it because it's all I watched, but even now I still love it.

It had the unfortunate legacy of following up one of the greatest horror movies of all time, and one of the greatest action movies of all time, so the standards were extremely lofty to begin with. Killing off Newt and Hicks before the movie started really rendered much of the previous movie moot, Ripley's character development and protectiveness of Newt was just thrown out the window.
Now, on it's own, it's not a bad movie at all. I actually think history has been kinder to it than people were initially, especially given the movies that have followed it. But if you were a fan of the first, you saw a sequel that tried to do what the first did, but not as well, and if you were a fan of the second, you saw a slower movie that took away all of what made the second movie better. Three had a good atmosphere, it was interesting, and I didn't mind the ending, it just couldn't beat what came before.
