I have a lot of time for 3.
Lop off the last 10 minutes of ham-fistedly trying to retrofit a bigger picture to the film, and the actual 'Alien' part of the film stands up pretty well.
Plus you get Brian Glover AND Pete Postlethwaite for your money.

Yeah he's OK, but his character is far too telegraphed a "semi-romantic interlude doomed to a messy end" for him to really give it much welly.
Where as Glover and Poss both deliver in spades. "This is rumour control, these are the facts..." is a well-used addition to my day to day life :o)

That one's passed me by but I'll have to give it a look.
Brian Glover is an actor out of the Danny Trejo mould - only ever plays one character, but does it so well that he keeps getting work and it never gets dull.

A Brian Glover and Danny Trejo team-up.
Now that would have been interesting.

It promised more than it delivered. I think I read that the director had a very unhappy time making it due to studio pressures.
There are moments in all the sequels that stand up, just the films overall are a bit crap.
Resurrection has a few good bits, but the aliens look sort of crap and the newborn thing is terrible. Ron Perlman though, always a bonus. AvP is cheap and cheerful. AvP2 is utter shite apart from the bit where the lass gets on the wrong end of the Predator throwing star.
