119 minutes is TO SHORT

For me, I'm not really pissed at the length, just perplexed. We're aware that major "how did we get here?"-type questions are going to be raised and answered, and I'm intrigued to see how that's going to pan out in 119 minutes. With Alien, the film could afford to be shorter because it was a different type of film, starting [i]in medias res[/i] with a quick-moving plot with alien vs. crew, unlike what we're expecting with Prometheus which addresses larger, "epic" issues (not that I want to necessarily be bogged down with extraneous filler, like other posters have said). Oh well, I'll be anxious to see the finished product, with another question added to my pile: How are they going to do all this in 119 minutes?

Agree with the last two posters comments and respect everyone else's to ive said my piece.

Black Hawk Down was fantastic. Ridley Scott directed the hell out of that film, and the cinematography was sublime.

Personally, a cough and a sneeze less than 2 hours seems a pretty healthy portion of movie to me... In the months and years to come, some of what's happening behind closed doors today will become public domain - maybe he planned to give us 150 minutes when he started, but it soon became obvious that he had another movie in this story and, when the studio saw what he was doing, they agreed and gave him one? Of course, I don't know...I am just inclined to give the man a little of my faith - at least until I see what he puts on my plate.

Funny, where is this 136 minute version coming from? PS: In the "Guess How long prometheus will be" I said exactly 136.

"Black Hawk Down is crap"...............really?!? But yeah, like I've been saying: for me, it's really all about the blu-ray. PG-13 and "pacing" be damned.....but then, I also think the extended edition LOTR films actually work better than the theatrical versions, so what do I know?

quality first, could be 90 mins of absolute awesomeness wouldnt give a shit

I like Ridley Scott films, he's done some of my fav movies of all time. His attention to detail is great Gladiator, American Gangster, Blakc Hawk Down, even kingdom of heaven was very underrated IMO to name a few. He has done some shit as well GI Jane..... robin Hood was garbage....
