I will not see the movie until it comes in the states, two days later actually for my birthday and I am excited because I am also seeing friends I have not seen in a long time, now I have to say I think this will be a great movie, yes I am bias because this is RS. But to be honest I think the people are dead set on finding one little mistake, the movie is going to flop because of that. Because the problem is we live in an age where nothing can't stay secret, Alien was a great Masterpiece, it was a stunning movie, a horrific twisting tale, BUT it had one major advantage that today movies even if they are good (and I am still raising my high hopes it is good, but the people made their choice of that three months before): that is social media.
Social media is great but not for movies, and also we are now more connected, the world then has become smaller. There is nothing you do not know, and that was RS biggest mistake and FOX too. If they had just done something or released a similar movie before then it would not have been that great of a big deal, but they did it now where people demand the plot and movie before the movie.
Movies like Prometheus are so sensitive because prequel or not, have much to live up for. People have made forums, have already dreamed of the plot and they go see the movie, it is not what they wanted so their verdict? Movie = flop.
It is too bad and a true shame, but what more can you expect? You can't do a good sequel that will be as remembered and epic as before. For all his efforts Scott should have overseen this is a terrible age to make up movies like that, especially when fans say 'we want alien' then others say 'we do not want alien' it is no good.
I am still going to see it but I seem to grow more and more disappointed that it will not live up, too bad because it seemed like it would be good.
Anyhow, all your comments are great guys, I really enjoyed the forums, but I am going to take my chances since I really want to see it even if the rest think its bad, plus my friends are really hyped up so... :)
