There's many reasons why I feel this movie is the worst but the biggest is because Ripley is not herself anymore. Instead of the strong, real heroine we have followed through the films, she becomes a goofy, unemotional, one note character that we can no longer identify with.

This probably has been posted before, and perhaps I should know this, but has there ever been any other movie sequel that did as well (or maybe better) than the first or is GF the first?? 
TIS
Terminator 2 and the recent Harry Potter sequel, just to name a couple.
And depending on who you speak to, Die Hard 2 and 3, Wes Craven's New Nightmare and the Lost World: Jurassic Park may also fall under the same list.
