I do think it is too long, and there's a lot of boring down time, but some of it is great, such as a few memorable characters, some immensely gory and violent kills, and some great cinematography. There's some solid brooding and heavy moments throughout, and I also love the opening shots on the planet in the expanded cut. Overall, Alien 3 has its issues, but at least it went back to the roots of the series, although not successfully. I have a soft spot for this and Resurrection, flaws and all.Zach Nixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897951069093994788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799692319538063538.post-73237324863368446832017-03-21T08:28:35.407-07:002017-03-21T08:28:35.407-07:00I see no reason yo see the theatrical cut if you&#...I see no reason yo see the theatrical cut if you've seen the director's cut. It's just the same footage, only more jumbled and abrupt. And I'm a little bit excited to explore the next few entries in the franchise, if only because I have no idea what to expect.<br /><br />And Night of the Creeps is great! I prefer it to Monster Squad, but I guess I'm hardwired to prefer the college movie to the kids' adventure movie.Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399713449347559869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799692319538063538.post-21433772253086131442017-03-21T01:38:45.204-07:002017-03-21T01:38:45.204-07:00Oh yeah, and I'm glad you finally got a chance...Oh yeah, and I'm glad you finally got a chance to screen Monster Squad. I think that brings you fully up to date on Fred Dekker's directorial career.

Being shorter can't help but make it go down a little easier.<br /><br />I've never seen any Alien movie after this one, until you get to Prometheus. And I hear they're supposed to be worse than Prometheus. Yikes!Hunter Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925220178171355473noreply@blogger.com
