Why I think Prometheus will suck

I am sick of people spouting off the old "this movie will suck if it's PG/PG-13/etc". I am fairly sure that if Alien was to be released today it wouldn't earn an 18 rating. Apart from a single chest bursting scene, once the alien is knocking about on the nostromo I don't think we see a single drop of the red stuff. A film doesn't have to be gory to be scary.

while i dont agree with jeystones opinion of the trailer and i dont think the film will suck i have to defend him, unless someones deleted one of his comments i didnt spot him attacking anything anyone said he just stated his opinion , people jumped on his case staight away calling him a troll which is more insulting than anything he said, chill out peeps. on a more positive note i thought the trailer was awesome and i think the film will be equally so.

@ Rocket... He deleted his offensive post. His response to my first post was a personal attack... that's why everyone jumped on him.

Scott uses practical effects whenever he can. He doesn't like cg either. We can expect less cg than most big budget releases just because he did it.

@rocket to the moon: As Frantz said earlier, jeystone edited his original thread. The "insult" was removed. To get back to the original post: If you think the movie will suck, then save your $10 and our time. No need to post in a negative manner. If it does indeed suck, then all we will have is our little forum and the time prior to finding out. Let us enjoy it while it lasts. Ridley is too old? You'd better hope you can stand as well as he does at his age. Wisdom comes over years, and he can still use it to whatever advantage he wants. We should all be so lucky.

the hostility in these threads... geez. people need to get the stick out of their bums, and stop taking nerd debates so seriously. i don't give a damn if anyone agrees with me. nothing said online is going to ruin my day ^___^ try to lighten up, peoples. maybe we will be destroyed by a meteor and not even get to see the movie. try to enjoy your day in the mean time.

I saw a Prometheus trailer from "pop up trailer" that gives trivia and if it's to be believed Scott wanted an R rating for Prometheus. A PG rating would get a larger audience, but I think everyone involved in this movie is taking (for lack of a better word) chance with this film and making the movie that they want to make, meaning an R rated film. Honestly, if you told me 15 years ago that they were gonna make a prequel to Alien and Scott would be directing I would have said NO WAY would Scott have ANYTHING to do with it and look what is coming out now. My money is on an R rating @jeystone

I don't think there's hostility in the thread as it currently stands. Just another example of how reading comments prevents noticing the proper "tone" of a post. Mine was not intended to be hostile. If it reads that way, it was not on purpose.

Holy smoke dude. If you hate Scott and think this film will suck WT* are you doing here?

Jeystone, I respect anyone's opinion. However, the attack on Sir Ridley Scott and his wife is what was unnecessary. First off that comment is rude addressed to anyone. Secondly, you are knocking a man who has made some of the most iconic movie of YOUR life time. Thirdly, this man has been Knighted by the Queen of England. An honor again that earns him respect. Lastly you don't talk about another man's wife! So I wonder what are your major accomplishments that puts you in a position to cast (personal) stones at this man???

its only gonna be a pg cos that what fox wanted but ridey said he filmed a r rated movie so he will bring it out on dvd as an 18 plus i dont think it will suck think it will kick butt and we not had a gd syfi movie in ages if u dont like the look of it dont watch it remindfs me of the starwar 1 2 3 hates i love all the starwars movie and all the avps

it only a pg cos that what fox wanted to get bums on seats.plus scott did say he filmed a r rated moive so whan the dvd come out it will be an 18 i think.plus if u dont like the look of it dont watch it people like u who moan about 90% of the stuff that comes out like the starwars 1 2 3 haters i love all the starwars movie and avps.i think its gonna kick butt when it out and love all the aliens movies.even if it just shows the sjs that good enuff for me like other people they allways wanted to know about how the sj got there

Let's not be too hasty folks. Ridley has stated that he prefers to use practical effects wherever possible so I doubt the film will be a CGI fest. Also we may be seeing partial incomplete CGI so the finished product may look better. I personally have no ussue with the CGI the trailer. @ jeystone: I appreciate your thoughts but i think its a little unfair to say Ridley is too old to be directing the film. I for one could not think of anyone better to do it. If he chose anyone younger then it would certainly would become a CGI fest.

The "clean" look is an attempt by scott to do something different and I think is in line with his love of european sci-fi comic book art...It is also a necessity for 3D ..It will all make sense when the glasses go on.. I'm not worried by about the certificate because sooner or later you will get the unrated cut... This movie is a practical movie...In camera effects...Models...Huge sets.... CGI is minimum in this film... The composite process is so good these days people don't know what they're looking at..

Jeystone. I know you want this to be a R rated movie, and you're let down like most of us as this is your second post concerning the rating of the film and you're just venting, but try and remember not to vent on the other members of the forum, Ridley or the movie itself. Fox is the one making the decision, and I don't think you would be upsetting anybody here complaining about them directly.

Whilst an honour from the queen doesn't instil any kind of respect from me (I'm from Wales, and not a royalist) knocking our Ridley is indeed below the waist. However, I have to say I am not a fan of CGI. CGI movement STILL doesn't look realistic to me.

Well, not everyone watches PROMETHEUS because they expect a gore orgy like many zombie movies etc. The only gore scene in ALIEN was the chest bursting. Any other kills by the Alien were shot so fast that you barely could see the splatter when the Alien bites Brett and Parker. I'm rather more concerned that they leaked so much in the current trailer. Hope the best things are yet to be seen in the movie. I'm really wondering what the Space Jockey does with Shaw as she is on the floor and he is approaching her. Also, what does the ALIEN mural mean? That the Space Jockeys already created them before the Prometheus crew landed?

Trailers can be deceitful in both ways. I remember swearing never go to see "Robocop" after seeing the trailer _ but this was because I didn´t get the irony of the movie. I only went to see it after word of mouth from friends. Conceivably most directors would want their trailers to be deceitful in the other direction: convincing most people that the movie is good, when actually it isn´t. From what I see, Scott and Fox´s suits would have to sweat a lot to wretch this project. At least I can´t remember of being deceived in a big way from trailers lately. To me the bigger enigma is the rating. Of course there are a lot of perfectly enjoyable PG-13 movies. I can´t remember none of them approaching the level where one can confidently say, "this is entertainment but also art". I think "Alien" and "Blade Runner" are as close as you can be to this level. Let´s see if "Prometheus" reaches this heights.

Bring on the new blood, ridley could never make a stunning film like sucker punch, or transformers. Lets face it the guys a novice, a complete waste of space, and experience of a lifetime counts for shit. Yeah this film will be a disaster full of Clichés and bad acting and loaded with appalling cgi . zack snyder i love you.

Ok forgive the sarcasm but really i would never go anywhere near a site or forum for a film ( and lets face it there are hundreds of them) that i have no interest or faith in and feel the way you do jeystone. I mean get a life you may as well be on the next jennifer aniston film site and slag that off. I just cant for the life of me imagine that you cant find something your really into to have something positive to contribute to .
