yes... these people wrote this: "It is depressing to watch an expensive, crafty movie that never soars beyond its cold desire to score the big bucks." October 22, 2010 Full Review Source: TIME Magazine Frank Rich TIME Magazine Top Critic "An empty-headed horror movie with nothing to recommend it beyond the disco-inspired art direction and some handsome, if gimmicky, cinematography." June 4, 2007 Full Review Source: Chicago Reader Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Top Critic "These things no longer surprise or tantalize us as they once did. In a very short time, science-fiction films have developed their own jargon that's now become a part of the grammar." May 9, 2005 Full Review Source: New York Times Vincent Canby New York Times Top Critic AHAHAHAH.... I laugh for the sake of keping my sanity intact.

does any one else think its kind of sick that (even though that critic sucks) people were actually wishing DEATH upon him??? I mean, for one he's already dead... and even if he wasn't, might that be overkill? (sorry for the pun)

I told you so, read the angry replies for some laughs! Especially the late Canby!

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

Critic: 1. Someone who frequently finds fault and makes harsh and unfair judgements. Of all the lowest forms of microbial life on planet Earth none is lowest than the common critic of the garden variety.

i'd guess the same "critics" that trashed ALIEN all circle-jerked one another over "Aliens" typical / predictable

People who spend time listening to justin beiber, lady gaga and have subscription of fashion magazine should think thrice before criticizing sci-fi, horror and thriller genre.

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates Rottentomatoes. Those same bastards gave Aliens a perfect score. ???

Everyone,professional critics and otherwise,are entitled to their opinions on any movie.Of course we are entitled to our opinions on their opinions. BTW,is there anyplace where I can find original 1979 ALIEN reviews to read?

When 2001 first premiered, critics hated it. It's now considered the greatest Sci Fi film of all time. I don't really care what the critics say about Prometheus. I'll form my own opinion. I don't think any of you folks do either. Let's all join in and say: F*** the critics!

Of course wishing death upon someone is sick ebta1989. That kind of insanity has no place here.

I still remember being about 16 or so at the time Alien came out and thinking how freaking fantastic it was ATM. Some people just don't get it I guess, I avoid going to a lot of movies these days. Prometheus is one of the ones I've been looking forward too for awhile now : )
