The director of Alien 3 (1992) is David Fincher, the same guy who directed Fight Club and Se7en. Alien 3 never changed directors, Ridley Scott (director, Alien 1979) expressed interest in the project but it never started production with Scott as director. Fincher told the writers from the start that he wanted to kill Hicks and Newt to make Ripley's character broken in spirit as well as sever any ties to anyone really close to her so that she can die at the end a widow with no 'husband' and no 'daughter'.
James Cameron (director/writer Aliens 1986) was extremely pissed about the choice Fincher made and said in multiple interviews that he would never touch the Aliens franchise again after that. I believe Ridley Scott said something like that as well. But Fincher did a good job in my opinion. It Alien-ated *phunny!* alot of fans because they just got off the high that Alien (terror) and Aliens (action) created, and Alien 3 is much more introspective with Ripley's character so it didn't do that well. But Alien Resurrection (director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1997) basically killed the franchise... and then 'AVP' raped it's rotting corpse so I wouldn't be surprised if we ever see another Alien movie that will be worth the 7 bucks to see it.
Also, your comment about Alien being boring until the end tells me that you're a moron and I dont need to waste anymore time talking to you.
