Sick of the doom & gloom mob

MemberOvomorphJune 03, 2012Locked949 Views28 RepliesI'm starting to get angry with this wave of negativity towards Prometheus, to simply refer to it as a "crap movie" or dare to compare it to AVP is just plain childish. You are entitled to your opinions but just because it doesn't tick all your boxes does not make it a bad movie. Seriously, for those who haven't seen it yet don't listen to the doomsters, buy your tickets with confidence. Prometheus is a thought-provoking, beatifully shot, haunting, thrilling, roller-coaster ride of a sci-fi movie with references to another movie shot 33 years ago. Yes it has a few unanswered questions and mmmm what caused that but guess what ? IT'S SUPPOSED TO !!!!!! I absolutely loved Prometheus and shall be enjoying it again at IMAX tonight.

Oh right so you like it so we all must right?
It poor scifi movie in my book which ever way you look at it.
I'm not stopping you from enjoying it but don't jump down my throat because I didn't find it enjoyable.
I'm sick of everyone saying what amazing visuals like visuals are the only thing that matters in a movie

Dude, the movie is really bad. The story is all over the map, and the characters are mostly boring. Have you seen the pictures of the proto xeno that are being posted... That thing looks ridiculous.

"I'm sick of everyone saying what amazing visuals like visuals are the only thing that matters in a movie"
Lol what next ? Is the sound the only thing that matters on a CD ????

Hello
I think if ALL the questions were answered there would still be some folk not happy.
I loved it.
As for the proto xeno sketch, it only looks like that very slightly. What do people want?

What so people HAVE to like this film???
What about Plot, acting, pace, sound, atmosphere, character arcs and continuity?? Do they not matter then?

Dont worry the angry mob will go away when they will find something else to bash to satysfy their egos ....
Then we will return to talk in peace about prometheus and maybe Prometheus 2 for another couple of years :p

I didn't like the film, but we all have different opinions.
That people didn't like it shouldnt be taken as an attack on you - lighten up - its just a difference of opinon.
I wrote a review which reflected how bad I thought it was 2.5/5. I think its a very average film. But I have outlined my reasoning for this.
Rather than tell others not to see it, I would say go see it and then decide.
June 03, 2012
What 'angry mob'?? The only one's getting angry are the people who like the film.
I didn't like the film but I am not having a go at people about liking it or telling anyone not to go and see it.
It is JUST a film, I have seen 100's better and 100's worse.
I have an opinion and you have yours.
June 03, 2012
For those of you who haven't seen it yet just remember this and I won't spoil it for you. Think of all the negative comments about sound, characters, pace blah blah blah at the moment when Prometheus lands and the crew disembark, nothing happens but the pure art of cinema gets your heart pumping out of your chest....you will then think what were those doomsters whinging about...........trust me

It's amazing! Doesn't reveal the secrets of the universe but poses more questions. Most of all: it's exciting and mesmerising!

I didn't like the movie but I'm desperate to like it! I felt a little depressed after I'd seen it because again I so desperately wanted to like it.
I know RS is a seasoned film maker and Linda Dorf or whatever his name has had success writing and what not, so therefore we should really have high expectations.
But we a bunch of people sat behind our computer desks from all walks of life slagging the movie off??? Can YOU do a better job?? If so do it then!!
To the People who actually liked the movie 'good for you!' I wish I was you.

I'm sick of it too! I was expecting to be on here talking about how good it was along with everyone else on the board. But as soon as I left the cinema feeling quite empty and racked with disappointment I just knew many would be feeling the same. As I said, I'm sick of this feeling! I want to wake up tomorrow still waiting to see the film but this time I'll love it.
To make it worse Alien was on TV last night. Watching it was just like rubbing salt into the Prometheus wound. When they found the SJ in the chair I tried very hard to forget all about Prometheus. I couldn't and so in a way Alien has been spoilt a little by Prometheus. I guess I'll have to think about it the same wy I think about The Matrix - 2 and 3 never existed. Matrix 1 was the only Matrix film ever made. Same with Star Wars - Episodes 1, 2 & 3 do not exist!

HERE IS A RANT AGAINST IT ALL I THINK APPLIES HERE AS WELL...
If you hated LOST and knew you hated LOST beforehand and that Lindelof was wrtting this why are you EVEN HERE now? SERIOUSLY THIS GUY JUST SUMMED IT ALL UP... THE REASON IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALL Had been here before the movie came out is it would have proved you had some understanding for the art of film making...but now after that Last comment I realize that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that came in here and slammed this film for whatever reason was 100% COMPLETELY WRONG TO DO IT!!! Because you all Had an AGENDA of HATE against this Lindelof guy!!! For any of you to have ANY CREDIBILITY YOURSELVES YOU WOULD HAVE TO PRODUCE A SCREEN PLAY AT THIS MOMENT FOR EVERYONE TO SEE RIGHT NOW, THAT MET WITH MORE SUCCESS THAN ANYTHING LINDELOF EVER DID, OTHER WISE YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF WANNABE BULLSHITTERS SPREADING YOUR AGENDA OF HATE FOR A FILM YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND PROPERLY AND WERE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND PROPERLY BECAUSE YOU YOURSELVES CANNOT WRITE AS WELL AS LINDELOF AND ARE UPSET FOR SOME REASON BY THAT!!! PERIOD... END OF STORY...IT'S IS 100% EGO DRIVEN AND CLEAR AS DAY TO ME NOW, THAT THIS MOVIE COULD NOT POSSIBLY SUCK, IF IT DID I DEMAND YOU PRODUCE ALL OF YOUR BETTER WRITING AT THIS EXACT MOMENT RIGHT NOW !!! YOU CANNOT, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALL "WANNABES"!!! THE MOVIE DIDN'T SUCK, ALL OF YOU DID !!! ALL OF YOU COMPLETELY SUCKED AT BEING IMPARTIAL ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU WENT INTO IT CLEARLY WITH AN AGENDA!!! AND LETS BE HONEST NOT ONE OF YOU KNOWS HOW TO WRITE A PROPER FILM REVIEW NOR DID OTHER THAN BUG HUNTER LET ALONG HAVING ANY CREDIBILITY, YOU ALL SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF WHINY LITTLE BIAAATCHES WITH ZERO UNDERSTANDING OF THE ART OF FILM MAKING !!!

Very Arrogant to dismiss anybodys opinion that says it wasn't good.
Of course its not the worst film. but everyone is entitled to their opinion, and i look forward to debating, the pros and cons.
but for me the flaws in this are major, and just can't be swept aside.
Thats why for me its an Average film.

So you would buy a CD just because it makes some noise then? 2 hours of a cat shrieking would be acceptable because the sound is the only thing that matters -right?
Same for film with a poor plot, just so long as it has wide screenshots of an interesting landscape. Who care about the film so long as its widescreen and high def.
