For me a good sequel needs to have new things, and it should not be a rehash of it's prequel. That's the problem with Alien3. Alien was a great movie, the Alien is one of the coolest movie monsters ever created (together with Predator). Aliens improved on this by adding a lot of new cool things, most noticeable the Alien Queen. Alien3 doesn't add anything new. Well, there is the queen parasite, and the new alien is a "dog Alien" (makes you wonder what the Alien from the space jocks (Alien 1) looks like...), but these are so insignificantly. So we're stuck with a been-there-done-that monster-chasing-victims movie. Still the movie is fun, and it looks absolutely awesome (great atmosphere). Not the crappy movie you might expect, but not a worthy addition to the Alien series too. Go see parts 1,2 and 4 !
Nazi's doing dark experiments, puppets coming to life to kill people, yeah I thought I was gonna enjoy this horror movie. Unfortunately most horror movies are B-movies, so is this one. And it shows. The worst thing about this movie is the acting. It's so wooden, it made this movie unbearable to watch. Some of the fx weren't bad, but most wasn't. If you want to see a movie about puppets causing havoc, go see Small Soldiers or Toy Story...
This movie is really, really boring. Now I hated Armageddon for its total lack of story, but Deep Impact has too much of it. Watching this movie was like watching a 2 hour soap episode. Of course I like a movie that has a great story, but DI has all these little plots of uninteresting persons, which have little to do with the arrival of the killer stone. For crying out loud, it's supposed to be a disaster movie ! Speaking of disaster, only the last few minutes the movie has a neat sfx sequence, yet not great enough to make up for the pathetic rest of the film. It's a shame for Dreamworks that has some great movies (Antz, Prince of Egypt). But what could you expect from the woman who directed this debacle: Mimi Leder. Yes, that's the same director who made the even worse The Peacemaker.
