Alien ran its course back in '86.

Fun fact: I actually refused to see ALIEN3, because I "knew" it could not possibly live up to ALIENS, which, at the time, was one of my all time favorites.

From everything I have ever heard, it didn't.

It is a mess. Muddled script, relentlessly bleak on levels that'd make Batman v Superman say it needs to lighten up, and just... charmless. However, I will give it this. After Alien 3, there was this sense that it was done. Over. Trilogy complete. I'd take the series ending in '92 over what came next with Resurrection, and then Alien vs. Predator films, and then Prometheus, and Laurel and Hardy to Go Space, er, I mean, Alien: Covenant. Ugh... The Alien and Terminator franchises have just been so ruthlessly battered and beaten, man.
