After a certain amount of time, every critically panned film is reappraised and determined to be good, actually. From Alien 3 to the maligned Matrix sequels, if a movie had a hard time at release, chances are future viewers will be a lot kinder to it. I personally think Alien 3 is a misunderstood masterpiece, so I’m all for this. I’m glad modern audiences appreciate how bold and subversive David Fincher’s sequel is, even if it left ’90s moviegoers frustrated. Some films are just too ahead of their time.
