Great minds  I wanted to like Resurrection, but certain bits just ruin it, Can't really go into detail without spoilers but I'm sure you'll know what I mean, a certain B movie style death scene during the evacuation for a start. Alien is just miles ahead of any of the others for me.

Yeah I hear you, and said much the same thing in my assessment of Alien Resurrection HERE. Though I think we differ on Alien³ and most likely Prometheus.
My thoughts on ALIEN and ALIENS are HERE if you're interested in those.

I liked Resurection ok. I don't think of it as a legitimate part of the Alien story, but as an odd what if story. Plus, it has Perlman playing a perfect Perlman character and Brad Dourif bring all Dourif-like. He dies way too soon though....sorta. The ending hurts it, but it's a fun sci fi creature flick if you dont think of it as a real sequel to Alien 3. I love Alien 3 BTW.

It's no where in the same class as Alien or Aliens but I can still enjoy Resurrection. I like the overall vibe / atmosphere of the movie and the cast (for the most part) was good. Could have done without Winona and the Newborn

You should become a movie critic since everyone and their mother agrees with you, it will save us a lot of money at the movies coz we can just read yr reviews and decide to see it or not.

 honestly... I actually think my overall tastes differ from a lot of you guys. Though I do find in my personal life and especially here with like minded individuals such as yourself more people tend to agree with me than disagree when it comes to movies, so I guess that's something. 
Its funny though, ever since I was young if someone were to ask me what my dream job would be my response was always "movie critic!"  I can't think of anything better than getting paid to watch movies and share your opinion with others. 
Ironically though I find the opinions of the majority of film critics to be worth next to nothing. I avoid reviews completely before seeing a film and forming my own unbiased opinion.

If you became a movie critic I would ignore your opinion. Just sayin.

and I would applaud you for it.
However if you were to form your own opinion first and then avoid my opinion afterwards... I'd certainly make a point to stop sharing it with you... just sayin.

That's amazing. I always wanted to be a movie critic as well. But it just didn't pan out, so I was forced to become a gigolo instead
