An American Fan in London (Spoliers)

Hello everybody: I finally had the opportunity to see Prometheus. I actually work and live in California, but after my profit sharing check came in, my partner and I flew to London for a short stay, and of course, to see Prometheus. First of all, let me say that I have appreciated all the various reviews posted by different members on this site. I believe all of them to be wholly accurate, so there is little more I can say about the movie. Ultimately, I was disappointed, but not because the movie was bad per say. I was disappointed for two main reasons: 1) All of the hype 2.) And all of my time spent on this site speculating about the plot, and seeking out spoilers. I do think this movie is set up for a sequel, and it really needs to happen, because I don't think Prometheus can stand by itself. It doesn't really work as a stand alone film, and the whole scene with the chest-bursting "xeno" at the end came across forced, as if it really wasn't what RS had originally intended to do. I think this film would have worked better had the whole 'Alien' thing been absent from the film altogether. [u]Look at it this way[/u]: it was an all or nothing thing. You can't have your hand half way in the cookie jar and expect to be satisfied. RS should have either made it a true direct prequel, or not at all. This half and half business, like watered down fruit punch, was really a let down. The movie could have worked, and I wish they would have explored more of the Space Jockey/Engineer. I could care less about the "xeno". Tell me more about the SJ. Hopefully a "Prometheus 2" will help complete the story he's started, because I truly found it fascinating, minus all of the "Alien DNA" crap.
