I don't have a lot of faith in a world-viewership that made the 2 most successful movies of all time: 1. Avatard 2. Titanic While I did find the following to be entertaining: The robotic motions of the 3D shipmates during the XLS's in 2. and the over-the-top VFX in 1... Prometheus will need a solid, deep, and thought-provoking story to capture an audience that is already saturated (and frankly spoiled) by outrageous special effects and insipid stories. I'm also worried about the release of other fantasy/adventure/sci-fi films before the release of Prometheus, like John Carter, Clash of the Titans, The Immortals (on DVD), etc... overwhelming said public and watering down it's reception. Bottom line... no one ever sets out to make a bad film (well, maybe Corman). It's just factors like the extremely rare convergence of the planets that allows it to happen right. It is a rare thing indeed.

what lucas did with the prequels was this..he thought the fans would eat them up just like the origional films so what he did was fill the movies with as many toys as possible..he literally made so many ships and so many stupid characters because his goal was to sell millions of toys millions of pieces of merchandise related to the prequels like he did with the original trilogy...but george lucas is an idiot his prequels did well at the box office but were nowhere near as populaur as the origonal trilogies...george lucas is an idiot howard the duck? red tails? speilberg is the reason indiana jones was cool george lucas is a moron
