I didn't pay to see Prometheus Part 1!

While I sat thru the end credits I wasn't really dissappointed, because I knew what to expect storywise. No, I had some other unsettling sensation. I felt like I had been framed. (By the way, noone here warned me about that!)
I thought "What? Wait! This isn't the end, it can't be! The story is just beginning! And they roll the credits already??" I thought about what I have been expecting and if I've been expecting to much. I expected the story of the SJ seen in Alien, or of his race. Mr Scott himself told us that Prometheus would be about that, didn't he? And what did we learn about them? First of all, that they do not exist as we knew them. They are only suits for some big bald guy. The big bald guy likes to go berzerk on humans and androids for no apparent reason.
So absolutely no valid information about this SJ-race is given. When Shaw and David-head lift off to go to the SJ-homeplanet I thought "You s.o.b.'s! You did Lost-style on Alien! You never answer any questions, you just put up more and more questions, to sell us sequels!"
Never in my life I watched a movie doing this: pretending to be a standalone-feature but in fact being part 1! That movie tricked me into thinking that it WAS NOT part 1 of a series! I realised that when it was too late: while watching the end credits!
Many of you assume that all those unanswered questions about the SJs may be answered in the sequel(s). Well, maybe! But I payed to get those answers in the very movie the director told us he would deliver them! RS never said "Prometheus will raise even more questions about the SJs, that might be answered in some sequel" or did he?
At the end of Prometheus XV we'll see Ripley in her cryotube dreaming it all that or what??
