Just re-watched Alien 3 AC
Mixed feelings. It's not a great movie but it's definitely not a bad movie, especially by today's standards. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a misunderstood masterpiece, more like...a beautiful mess with a number of powerful, stirring, thought-provoking moments scattered throughout
It dragged at times but overall I enjoyed it. On its own merits, it's a decent film - a step above the standard fare nowadays. Alien and Aliens were A+ films. I'd give Alien 3 a B or a B+
Note: On my grading scale, a mediocre, "OK" film would get a B-
Alien 3 is clearly above mediocre in my view
