Alien3 is better if you don't watch it immediately after Aliens. Aliens is such a PERFECT movie, and really gets you invested in everyone and the triumph.

Alien3, is a bummer (in tone/plot). But it's got some great performances, and it definitely has a style in its set decoration and general aesthetic. Charles S Dutton is probably my favorite Alien character. And Charles Dance has that quiet performance that the other films just don't seem to have (or make room for)

I really like Dutton in 3. Sometimes there is just perfect casting and I couldn't ask for a better fit for his character.

His eulogy for Hicks and Newt gets me every time.
