3rd Harry Potter vs 3rd Alien film. Though much maligned by almost everyone else in the world apart from a few close friends and Jim Sterling of the Jimquisition, I really like Alien3. I consider it to be one of the most underrated films I have ever seen, and would probably put it fairly high up on a list of "films i love which everyone else hates", were I to copy Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic). That said, Azkaban is certainly the more coherent and less problematic, so it just wins out here.
^What's your view on the theatrical cut vs. the "assembly" cut though? I'll probably give the film a watch soon, but I keep hearing how much of an improvement the latter cut is.

I haven't seen the Assembly Cut either (don't have any Alien boxsets), and like you I have heard that it is a major improvement over the theatrical cut. I don't know if I'll like it considerably more since I already consider Alien3 an admirable effort in its own right, though I am really keen to see it. I think there are two crucial points to bear in mind with regard to my enjoyment of it: 1) I am not nearly as emotionally invested in Aliens as other people, therefore I didn't find the major plot points in the first act of the film especially insulting, and 2) While I admit that the execution of the original Alien3 is problematic, I really appreciate the effort that was put in in many departments (shitty CGI aside); acting, cinematography, set design and especially music (Elliot Goldenthal's score is probably the best in the entire Alien Saga).
