3 isnt that good and Resurrection has issues but I find people go a bit overboard with suggesting you should only watch 1 and 2. It wholly depends on the what you like in said movies, if you are into the lore Prometheus especially and Covenant are worth a watch too, and its not like watching them all will take weeks of your life. Id even say there is enough extended material worth checking out too, even a few of the TTRPG campaigns have interesting stories, for example Heart of Darkness.

3 is a tough watch because.... you spent 1 and 2 getting to know and like Ripley only for them to kill her off at the end of 3 and you spent all of 2 liking the dynamic between Ripley and Newt/Hicks only for them to be killed off literally before 3 even starts.

Resurrection is just.. a bad weird movie. The cloning and the alien hybrid are both just... weird and stupid. Fun cast of characters though which saves it a little. If someone liked the first 2 I'd say give 3 and 4 a watch.

That said though... at least there isn't anything that just completely butt fucks the lore and doesn't make sense like with Prometheus and Covenant. I almost wish Ridley would have been able to finish his trilogy, just to see what next lame shit he could pull from his ass and how he could write newer even dumber characters.
