Worried about prometheus...DONT BE!!!! 1) People have been saying how its alot like aliens vs predator, but, Sir Ridley himself said how he does not count them as part of the alien franchise, nor does he like them, so why would he let this happen? 2) Its RIDLEY SCOTT! He on of, if not the, worlds greatest directors! 3) His two other Sci-Fi movies were amazing! A L I E N and Blade Runner are two of the greatest sci fi movies ever made, and a lot has been based on them! If you are worried about the critics then: A) Critics always slate movies (Only films that are like the hobbit or avengers are loved by them, because of the hollywood-ness about them etc.) B) Alien and Blade runner were both highly slated/criticized, so this is obviously not a problem. 4) People are worried about the fact Damon Lindelof wrote it, along with John Spaits, but Sir Ridley Scott oversaw the script and told Damon what HE HIMSELF wanted it to contain and consist of! 5) With all the character Viral Videos, why on earth would he delve into depth about them if the film isnt very clever and complex. 6) Many people may not appreciate it as we do. People may say its just another science fiction movie, set in space, has aliens and CGI (etc.) but we all have questions, because of our shared love of the FIRST Alien Movie! There will be links that only the sharp eyes for the franchise (us!!!!) will see, and many others may not understand the film having not seen alien! 7) LOOK AT THE CAST!! Its bloody marvelous! Michael fassbender is a revelation, noomi repace is a brilliant actress, Charlize theron....thats all i need to say..., idris elba is world class and everybody else are great!! I say f**k the haters of this movie, they know nothing, but WE do! Sorry about the rant just had to prove a point, so nobody worry, these points will reassure you!
Its a robot...ash is a goddamn robot!

Name a good French sci-fi/horror film? Le Dernier Combat? La Jetée? Nah they're all crap. Look what a French man (Jean-Pierre Jeunet) did to the Alien franchise! Fucked it & gave it a blag number. The French are notorious for slating sci-fi in general. This is coming from someone who works in the film critiquing industry. They are extremely biased against films depicting the supernatural or space travel, or just anything which is out the known realms of scientific reality.

why are you afraid to answer that question. You know I am not attacking France and that I stated an opinion, either that or you really do not know how to read...so again, why so afraid to answer this simple question...I humbly apologize if i have offended a Nation and you in particular, not my intention here I am attempting to reflect some semblance of truth on this matter for you. So I ask you once again... [b]Have YOU Seen This Film?[/b] P.S. Harping on this now really makes you look petty and mean, everyone here knows I have no hate in my heart and only a desire for TRUTH! people who avoid the subject matter at hand are as curious to me as someone my DOG would be weary of! I can smell it like a Xenomorph, Fear and indicision and the lack of courage in one's convictions, and I loath it in human beings. Spewing Hatred for a film you haven't seen is What We Are Tallking About if you asked me! so one last time...With All Due Respect... [b]Have YOU Seen This Film?[/b]

Movies are rather like the concept of what is a good pizza. Thin crust, thick crust, lots or little cheese, what kind of toppings. Never will be there be a general agreement and there are always regional variations on what is perceived as good. And while I've been avidly reading the forums, watching the trailers, reading the spoilers, I am still stoked to see the movie, watching how RS presented this story, the visuals, the acting, the soundtrack, everything!

Yes, I'm glad to see we all have faith in Ridley executing a great sci-fi after so long and returning to what he does best. Drakeeqaution has no idea what he's banging on about. He hasn't seen it, but he's already made up his mind - he's convinced himself it's going to be a let down. And even if he does think it's a great movie after seeing it, he still won't admit it to anyone, and he'll still find things to pick at. I'm going in there with an open mind and to enjoy what we've been waiting for for over thirty years now. I'm not about to let some moaning, negative muppet spoil something I've been wanting to see made since I was a child. Lets be happy this film was even made and stop complaining before we've even seen it. End of.

I agree, you started $hit in this post and now look Drakeequation. Xeno Jockey wanted to talk about the good things in Prometheus but you had to say the exact same thing you said in 2 other forums. You couldn't let it alone that someone may like this film and was looking forward to seeing it. I don't understand why it was so important to just bash the story over and over again. I said it earlier, we hear you, you don't think the story is original. I even tried to show you some cool stuff to maybe talk about but you ignored it and went ahead saying the same stuff over and over. Yes, other things were said and that is their own to deal with if they choose to. I'm leaving this has given me a headache. I'm gonna go find something else to do on my vacation day.

I'm calm as ever, in fact, I thought I was doing a pretty good job of getting through to him and turning him around on this...lol...well...may be not...but at least I was trying...especially after seeing what he did to this incredible thread that started off being so bloody amazing. Until like I say i saw what he did to all of you and I just Knew he hadn't seen it, just Knew it ! You know what made me realise it, when he started in on someone here for Not having Seen It !!! Imagine that, eh?

yeah, because I claimed I seen it when? that is why I said he should do the same..... oh well, oh BTW Spartacus, if you disagree with him you are trolling and might as well go find somewhere else to go even though everywhere he goes he seems to want to disagree xeno jockey didn't have this open for long at all and wanted to talk about the good points and here he came and now he cries because he can't get his way

MemberOvomorphMay-29-2012 1:09 PM
I just don't get how you would want to come on a board that is saying, "yes, I want to see Prometheus here are good points I think are legit" and then proceed to crap all over the OP and you just said the same thing in on a previous board not minutes before

Spartacus

MemberOvomorphMay-29-2012 1:10 PM
@david 1 LOL @SaintsSinphony, dude in retrospect he was so under handed to you it just pissed me OFF ! Look at the OP's O{#1} Post ! It is sensational ! I apologize again to France if Offended her in any way! I was seriously trying to get through to this guy! LOL MY Lord what a day, I just worked a Nite shift from 3 am to 11 am and came home to this!

@ ADH0983, Spartacus, & SaintsSinphony Saying that hate speech is no big deal because I made negative comments about the movie or because, as ADH0983 said, " It's life and it happens", says more about you guys than it does about me. If you were half-decent human beings you would worry less about Promotheus and more about taking a step back and analyzing what is important in life and why what Spartacus said is actually a big deal.

Three reasons why french people hated prometheus 1) Long length movie that too in sci-fi genre which world is not used to this decade. 2) Panspermia concept which kills creationism and hurts religious opinion. 3) They expected this movie to be xenomorph only. Now imagine movie about panspermia where they get hurt emotionally, waiting for 2 + hours and see that there are few bits of creatures. So it is obvious that people who enjoy "artsy" and "emo" movies are going to hate prometheus.

@Drakeequation, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT... ...whats a big deal TO ME is you having an agenda and a personal one for me at that!!! but whats most important to me is you DELIBERATELY AND WITH INTENT AND MALICE OF FORE THOUGHT messing up the VIBE in this community!

MemberOvomorphMay-29-2012 2:05 PM
Yes. Again, the French are known for giving good reviews mostly only to French film and/or art house pictures. Anything that is not true to life and questions anything that we think we already have the answers for, is for the most part instantly dismissed by them. I spend a month or two a year in France for work, and have done for many years, and obviously have many friends who are in the industry themselves, who refuse to read French film reviews when it comes to sci-fi, horror or action films, because the critics just tear them to pieces. Again, this isn't being racist. It's like saying a good portion of Americans are overweight or the Japanese make the best TVs. It's a fact. I can appreciate the majority of you many not know this or want to take this as gospel, but having first hand experience of this for many, many years in the industry I work in, it's true.

If there's a couple things in this universe that drive me insane are people who are in line for a hyped up movie, and do nothing but say how awesome it is even though they haven't seen it. I can only wish for a trained, pet face hugger I could sic on those clowns. A close second are Chris Nolan twits who spout how the latest Batman films are the best creations from Hollywood - ever. The irony is that the best thing about good Science Fiction films are that they are the product of an audience that's skeptical and has to deal with a lot of bad ones. Also, both Blade Runner and Alien were relative surprises and didn't have the social marketing like they do now. Blade Runner also got horrid reviews and had a poor theatrical run. Alien as I recall got decent reviews. Even though Scott is one of my favorite directors, I'm keeping my skeptical cap on for this film because while he's genius at his best, even the best directors turn over the hill at some point and lose vision. Or, they just plain do something incomprehensible like Boyle did half way through 'Sunshine' and almost killed it. The hype and secrecy for Spielberg's 'WOTW' was very similiar to this film as well, and oh what a dissapointment that thing was. Concensus of the reviews is that at the least it's a great looking film, and at worst the characters seem to inhabit a universe only appreciated by rabid sci-fi geeks. I'll take that as a compliment and hide my pet face hugger under my coat when I wait in line at the IMAX

Don't make me laugh, Mr I know Prometheus better than anyone else. Everyone is slightly prejudice, there's no escaping it. We all bear and draw prejudices from certain events/sources in our lives. It's impossible to not have ANY prejudices. Whether its motivated by race or taste or anything else, it's a FACT of life. You, as the other seven billion people on this planet, are prejudice. It's a human trait. Again, deal with it.

Hey I don't understand how people can say they are fans of this franchise, and continue to be so negative towards Prometheus. Especially if they have not watched the film yet. I have read the reviews fron France. Some are positive, and some negative. But that should not matter because you will eventually watch the movie, and come to your personal opinion about the film.

MemberOvomorphMay-29-2012 2:09 PM
....maybe that's why Ridley and Fox decided to have this early screening in France....if they just half like it....cause if they so anal when it comes to sci-fi reviews...(over critical)...then the rest of us would love it?

ADH0983

MemberOvomorphMay-29-2012 2:19 PM
@Rubirosa I am in no way negative towards Prometheus. I am completely open-minded and am hugely excited. I think it's going to be great. @Juxtapose There have been earlier pre-screenings but none that anyone was allowed to discuss. They had one out here in LA a few weeks back, one in Spain, and a couple in Asia. I guess (and this is ONLY a guess) Ridley/Fox's reason for having such a publicly discussed pre-screening in France was to maybe get the tough ones out of the way first. It does make sense, and can have a huge effect box office-wise.

This thread is pathetic! Quite a few of you should be ashamed of yourselves....for God's sake it's just a film! There are people needlessly dying from starvation and being butchered in wars all over this little rock we call home....and here you are bitching about negative French reviews to a movie! As grandpa Simpson would no doubt say "for shame!" Perspective people.
