I love ALIEN, great monster horror movie.
I very much enjoy ALIENS, good sequel, great monster action movie.
ALIEN3 had some interesting things, I love David Fincher as a director, but I guess many people were pissed that it completely destroyed the ending of ALIENS, and I think they do have a point. Still, the atmosphere on the prison planet was quite captivating.
ALIEN: RESURRECTION then went the way many franchises do when they run out of ideas, and inserted more “camp” and more “human” qualities. Those actually annoyed me. I found the ALIENS up to then were horrifying creatures, they were not “evil” but simply dangerous insects. In ALIEN 4, they started to act more “human”, and so they became less interesting to me.
PROMETHEUS was one of the best looking films in the franchise, and it started out with some very interesting concepts and ideas. What I really enjoyed was a movie that took place in the alien universe but wasn’t foremost about aliens hunting humans. What I didn’t like was that so many people in the movie acted like absolute idiots.

I haven’t bothered to watch any of the other alien movies yet, though I do have ALIEN:COVENANT on bluray somewhere.
