My biggest problem with 3 was the plot point of them capturing the alien and it being released by one of the prisoners.. the first two movies showed human error/ineptitude allowing the alien (and nature in a way) to wreak havoc.. why make it the result of a character actively deciding to do so?

Haven't seen the rest.

I'd probably rate Aliens higher if Newt wasn't in it. I absolutely hate little children in survival horror movies, because their helplessness always results in all the cool and useful characters getting killed. The fact that Newt screams all the time makes it even worse.

I'm generally not a huge fan of that in horror movies either, but Newt wasn't exactly helpless. She was the last colonist to survive and navigated the air shafts so at least Ripley could escape. If Gorman and Vasquez didn't set off that super grenade she probably wouldn't have fallen down into the sewer or whatever.

Wasn't it released by a prisoner who had religious devotion to the alien?

What I hated about 3 is it started the whole xeno gaining traits from it's host. Some may like that, I don't

Okay my apologies - apparently I'm remembering it completely wrong (at least from the plot on Wiki). I could have sworn one of the prisoners sabotaged the plan to capture the alien

That's what I was remembering!! It really felt like they were reaching for a way to have the alien escape
