I loved the 3rd too...

To me the things are:
Alien -> "What's that thing? How can I fight it?"
Aliens -> "I almost understand what I'm fighting but can I really fight it?"
Alien³ -> "Ok I know my enemy but I got nothing to fight it"

These a totally different movies: the scary one, the action movie and the frantic survival (I loved the camera acting as the creature's sight chasing the convicts).

"Resurrection"... brrr...

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
