I've always liked Alien 3 better than Aliens because it was dark, cynical, atmospheric, like Ridley Scott's Alien. Also, the movies are better when there's one scary badass Alien running around as opposed to a Queen and a bunch of warriors. Plus, I like Alien 3's characters better. Clemens, Dillon, Morse, Golic, Aaron, and Andrews are way more interesting than the grunts in Aliens, imo, though not as "fun." Aliens rules, but I just prefer Alien 3.
