Seeing this tomorrow but the RLM review was damning. Apparently it starts extremely promising and then tails off.
I'll wait to make up my own mind. I like all of the original 4 in their own way (Alien 3 is my least favourite). Also appreciated - but didn't love - the prequels. This sounds like a mixture of everything from the IP so far.
Will edit this comment once I've seen it tomorrow evening.
Edit: First half was great, second half was fan servicey but overall good. Biggest pet peeve was that the black goo worked differently than had been established in prometheus.
I actually preferred 3 to 4 after watching them recently. 3 brought back the feeling of the original, where everyone is unarmed against a vicious predator. 4 isn't bad, but it feels like a more significant departure from the other movies than 3.
I have several friends that share your opinion about Alien 3. One of them thinks it's a misunderstood masterpiece. Quite enjoy discussing it even though I disagree!
