I have to agree with you though Alien Resurrection was

I think part of the crapiness problem is caused by there never having been a solid plot from the start I do not think that they ever planned on making beyond the first Alien.Then you had Aliens which added its own ideas to the plot and actually contradicts the original though this was not common knowledge until years after Aliens and Alien 3 and Resurrection came out(unless you read the Alien book).I am referring to the life cycle originally the Alien used the bodies of humans and they become "cocoon eggs" (the cut scene near the end with Ripely,Dallas,and Brett) that contradicts the "hive" idea introduced by James Cameron who may or may not have known about the "cocoon egg" bit.Granted the hive and queen idea was interesting but the originally implied notion is much much creepier and makes the xenomorph seem more like some kind of weapon and either method of reproduction would be effective and they both make some sense.
The youtube guy is wrong about Sigourney Weaver being an A list actor(in 1978/9) Alien was her very first role as a primary and the other actors actually picked on her according the commentary on Alien.
