Remember, critics diss...

mheee... critics... who needs them?

Alien & Blade runner both got mixed reviews on release It has taken a good few years for both to be recognised as game changing movies Maybe Prometheus is the same...I'm still confused after seeing it last night, but i sure understood it a lot more than the opening night of 2001 a space odyssey I cant wait until it gets released as a directors cut, it may be a whole lot better like Aliens directors cut was. I also think that this movie is a prime target for a fan edit when it does get released

Without critics I would have gone to see Jack and Jill by Adam Sandler.

i wonder if their will really be an extended cut available on blueray....was the movie really cut...maybe all we will get is some more behind the scenes stuff and interviews with the cast, ridley and lindelof....Oh we'll in a very recent interview lindelof did state that their was certain scenes removed cause he thought they did not drive the story...so hopefully their will be a directors cut?

Not a prequel? Maybe you need to watch Alien first - or after either way you will soon realise its a prequel. Alien left questions about the Space Jockey etc - which this movie explained. I think the whole idea around it being linked to our creation is a side plot as there has to be a purpose other than just finding out who the space jockey was. Even the end of the film totally links in with how Ripley and co ended up there in the first place. My only gripe is although it shows how we got her, it doesn't explain why....

Cronox, I'm sorry, you're wrong. To me, this film was like "we got the space jockey and ... oh, that's it". No, I tell a lie, "we got the doughnut shaped 'ship', too". Now, let's get that guy who made a balls up of LOST to go write some UNRESOLVABLE ONTO THE SCREEN and hope that the company fund parts two and three so that we can 'try to' resolve them ... you know, just like what happened in LOST. :) It Doesn't Explain Anything, as a film. It's all flirt and tease and not much in the way of narrative intercourse - which is all fine and good (to be honest) but I wouldn't go round (as 20th C Fox has) calling this film an 'Alien Prequel'. It's not, it's just 'in the realm of'. At best. :)

What I'm saing with my original point is, "Maybe Prometheus will become a CLASSIC on a par with ALIEN and BLADE RUNNER, once the mistake of how it was marketed is forgotten." :) Seriously, it's not a shit film, it has lots going for it.
