Alien 3 was just awful. When an audience is invested in a movie the way they were in Aliens (which is what made it a success), the way to go with a sequel is not to summarily get rid of the characters they just went through hell with.
Alien 4 is also bad, for different reasons. It's played as more of a joke, with the characters being caricatures and the violence being so over-the-top and absurd that it degrades the movie.
It's amazing that we admire a series as much as this one when it hasn't produced a good film in 25 years.
