J Lo: Banned because I'm wondering if I can, in good conscience, watch Alien 3. I heard bad things about it, and I'm scared it would ruin the franchise for me.
Banned because Alien 3 is a production disaster and the completely botched monster visuals (a dog in costume, green-screened into scenes, has an ugly green glow and low frame-rate) is kept to a minimum with the alien's POV-shots. The exact same speech is given twice, in 2 different rooms, and they end the second one by determining how to set a trap. Worst of all is it begins with all prior side-characters being killed off-screen, which can only be spun as a positive in that it adds to the bleakness, which is an important part of the anti-sequel ending. The attempt at preventing an Alien 4 is the only objectively good thing about Alien 3, but that was a failed effort anyway.
