The Aliens franchise seems to have suffered a problem shared with the Terminator franchise. The first movie was good, the second movie was better, and everything else was a waste of the time it took to make and/or watch it. This includes the crossover with the Predators, but I had a previous link to Bounding Into Comics going over that failure. Check that out and then see things from the aliens side. Writer Slade Hale goes over each movie in the Aliens franchise and why the first two are the only ones fans care about.
