[size=5][b]Note:[/b] This review has been marked "spoiler-free". Any spoilers posted will be removed (the entire post).[/size] -----------------------------------------------------------------Just got back from seeing it and really enjoyed it, it was entertaining, beautiful to look at, and I can't wait to see the next one. I saw it with my 18 year old daughter who has no interest in the Alien films and she said she enjoyed it. If you want something like Alien or Aliens then watch Alien or Aliens. A lot of people do not like the Alien franchise so by going a different route with this I think Ridley will open up the Alien franchise to a bigger audience. It is far more interesting than the star wars prequels which I felt shrunk the Star Wars universe, this one expands the Alien Universe and opens it up to new possibilities.

@ Spartacus What does the number of posts made have to do with anything? I have only made 3 posts on this site and I do not feel that I have any less right to make a comment than anyone else. Until I saw the film I had nothing to say about it. Everything was pure speculation. Having seen it and bearing in mind how much hype there has been I decided to stick my oar in. There is a very annoying moral high ground being displayed out there. I wasn't expecting another Alien movie. Ridley Scott stated it was not one. That does not change the fact that the film is a mess. You might not like my opinion but that's your problem not mine. Do you expect everyone who doesn't like the film to shut up because you don't agree? Jump down of the high horse guys. It's only a (bad) movie.

Yes, i'd agree with sparty there, so, someone saw a film they didn't like....cool. Now move on with your life, it really is silly and pointless to hang around discussing something you don't like, just move on. I think it was very fast paced, but films are these days, because the people who make them profitable have very short attention spans. i for one thought it was great, and better than I thought it would be, and i didn't have low expectations after being on here for a while and keeping tabs on it for ages. it's very hard to please fanboys and make something interesting to the general public, i'd imagine its impossible. I think LOTR was as good as anyone could possibly make those dreary books, but it got a right good slagging off from fanboys. Tough. I went to my local Forbidden Planet shop after the movie, everyone in there had went to last nights midnight showing, and all were raving about it. This film will create its own fanboys, and that is what they set out to do.

@Dirtyjack actually no, going to be 50 next week, you...?...17...18...?...25...32...? In your case it doesn't change a f'ing thing at this point and I would be enlightened if you could humble me with your acumen on how it is you suddenly thought it might be wise to have sissy fit like a little girl?

[quote]What ridley is trying to do with Prometheus is add the same type of enigmatic feel we experienced in the original.....but at the same time also create a new franchise....it's dangerous and difficult.....considering how fanboys are likely to react....it was inevitable that this movie was gonna divide and polarize the fans!....[/quote] so very well put "Juxty" ! Thanks and I agree!

It's not dangerous at all really, no one ever pleases the fanboys, because they can't. Best to just start again, and i think thats what this film does. I only liked alien, can't watch any of the others as they're beyond ridiculous (to me). This showed real imagination i thought, and lots more Giger than i ever thought we'd see (pretty much everything that looked like his ideas gave me the creeps haha)

@DirtyJack, excuse me, but you're the one having a little moan about a film you don't like. I dislike most of the movies I've seen. Very few i want to watch again. But i don't think I've ever joined a forum to moan about them, I do as you say, get a life. Good advice don't you think?

I am glad people are saying it is a bad film because when I see it I will not expect much and will be pleasently surprised.

spartacus I agree with you (again) on the whole negative thing. I don't want to censor anyone and if you have something you don't like about the movie you wish to speak about then you are more than welcome to say it but maybe people should think before hand and say it in a thread that isn't praising Prometheus. Why say you hate the movie in a thread that is about liking the movie. There are a few threads saying that it wasn't a good film some have said they hate it. Say what you want there. Criticism is going to be there sure but I don't go to forums on websites that are dedicated to stuff I don't like and go say something negative just for the hell of it. raoringpasta I'm sorry to go off topic but I've seen this type of thing so many times in the past few days, I'm glad you seemed to enjoy the movie . I was thinking of taking my son who is 12, do you think it would be too much for him? I make him cover his eyes on nude stuff and really violent parts but he watches alien and aliens and loves them

@unlimited power, @rubinis I'm not talking 'bullshit.' I was saying that a lot of people were let down because it wasn't an alien prequel, but they're misguided in their criticism, because it wasn't meant to be. Hating on something for not being what you wanted is no criticism of anything etc etc But were there issues? Yes. I agree there are MASSIVE issues. And I even say this right after my initial point.
