Movies That Are Surprisingly Better Than You Actually Remember

Sometimes movies make pretty bad first impressions. Years or even decades later, however, fans and critics alike can change their tune, and once-reviled releases are shown a whole new level of appreciation. Here are some of the movies that are better than you actually remember.

In space, no one can hear you scream — but in the movie theatre, lots of people can hear you getting mad. And boy, did Alien 3 make people mad. After Ridley Scott directed one of the greatest sci-fi films ever and James Cameron followed it up with one of the greatest action films ever, David Fincher's third installment in the Alien franchise was... well, it wasn't the greatest anything. Critics and audiences despised Alien 3, though the film's box office wasn't that bad, earning $54 million domestically and $158 million worldwide.

Arguably, however, Alien 3 committed the worst of all cinematic sins — it was disappointing. Following two of the greatest genre films ever is a tough gig to say the least, especially when your movie was supposed to be the cinematic swan song for one of the most beloved movie characters of all time. It was a big ask, and for some reason Fox handed the reins to first-time feature film director David Fincher. Alien 3 was an inauspicious debut for the future maestro, who, at 27 years old, basically told the head of Fox to fire him — and has since disavowed the film itself.

But Alien 3 is actually pretty good. In addition to featuring one of the most iconic shots of the entire series, the film has a great otherworldly vibe, focuses on a pretty cool prison planet, and sees Sigourney Weaver deliver an incredible performance. While it suffered in 1992 for its close proximity to Alien and Aliens, its reputation has only improved after two decades of further disappointments and duds in the franchise. And while Alien 3 is far from Fincher's best, it does demonstrate the early signs of his remarkable creative vision.
