Pretty much the whole third movie, including the premise, sucked, except for possibly information about the alien and some about Weyland-Yutland. And I'm not happy that Ripley ended up with a queen inside of her -- it was good for the script, but again the premise sucked and smacked of desperation to make the third movie work.
