Why do people hate Alien3?
Valaquen:
Uh huh. Quite a few people like it. A lot don't tend to, hence OP's frustration.
Mr. Domino:
I tend not to worry about whether other people like someone, unless they're telling me I shouldn't like it, or that the fact I like it is invalidated because the matter in question is "obviously crap" or some such euphemism. Then I get pissy.
aliennaire:
Well, I personally have no hatred to A^3 any more, because - and this may sound harsh - I re-discovered it to myself as a ... some sort of comedy. I incline to follow Morse, as it goes, and his lines and behavior make me normaly smile ("We have a teeny-weeny problem", scene with scissors, "How did I get there?", prominent "F*ck" after warden is dragged up into ceilling with the puddle of blood on the floor...)
I suspect, the main reason about putting Alien^3 so far aside from first two films isn't the protagonists' demise at all.
In my opinion, "cubed" sequel extremely differs from the set in Alien/Aliens aura by its blatancy (mostly over the religious-like ranting and Ripley's Christ-like and Antichrist symbolism - two within one!) and tautology (there is a lot of repetitive lines and actions). Just compare this to subtle sexual Alien's (Alien as Creature here, not the film's name) undertones, entertaining plot turns and characters, you want to associate yourself with (they are ordinary people, with their jokes and worries, just want to live their lives and at least have one - common for both films - goal, namely to get home!)
PsyKore:
Despite some good aspects in this movie, it is ultimately very shallow. I agree with Valaquen; it's mainly the film's aesthetics that are its redeeming quality. However, I don't think Alien 3 is as hated as it was back in the day, a lot of fans look pretty deeply and excuse this film's flaws.

Now you have to give the movie a break there, the new charecters need more screen time so they could develop themselfs and not just be random
--- Quote ---murders and rapists and whatnot
--- End quote ---
see if, lets say if Dallas, Bret, Lambert, or Parker had survived the first film
now I'm not an expert but i know we would care more about one of these charecters and Ripley more than Newt, Hicks, Hudson, Bishop,Vasquez, or Gorman
You only care about these charecters because you've grown to know and love them as charecters, and without that, they'd be nothing
bet you don't remember Lydecker and his personality, do you? ( don't bullshit me with some "oh i remember him!")
--- Quote ---the fact Ripley dies at the end
--- End quote ---
The Only reason i've seen people hating this is Because of ressurection ( witch unfortunetly bullshited it's way into production)
this scene adds depth to the charecter of ripley, instead of going with the human Bishop she sacrifices herself to keep the Alien queen out of the company's hands, and by doing this she saved the galaxy, it's sad but at the same time
heart-warming, you see the triumph over the xenomorphs and more importantly the company, the people who started the nightmare in the firs place
