Plot holes- why we are so picky?

Picky? Pointing out Plot Holes is not being PICKY. If your plot fails to make sense (and Prometheus' sure as hell didn't) then your movie is BAD sir!

Because we want to be told a good story, and a lot of us here were expecting something dark, sinister and scary, also there was a dearth of answers. We didn't start telling a story 30 plus years ago, Ridley Scott and co. did. We expected him to do better, in a nutshell. And then he hired Lindelof.

We expected dark, epicness........we got light, Startrekyness! We are not picky, our expectations were well founded because of Ridley's past mastery *waitin to be fried by flamethrower* :-D

......apart from the prologue, that was epic, that was Ridley......the rest of the film felt different, like another director....

I have to say I agree there Lone, it really did feel like that.

having said all that I have seen it 4 times....keep hoping I'm gonna get it!! LOL

So have I, and I'm more confused than ever actually.

Yes this film and these types of films get special attention because its sci fi set in the 'real world' as such and is serious! Its also made by probably the best sci fi maker ever so the expectations are high. Take men in black 3 for instance - its supposed to be a bit of fun and is a comedy after all - I saw it and actually enjoyed it more than prometheus unfortunately just because "it does what it says in the tin" as the saying goes - it achieves what it set out to do. Prometheus did achieve part of what it set out to do but seemed to mess up quiet badly in parts. A film like prometheus is also much harder to make of course...anyway hopefully its not over yet! And yes me too the prologue was one of the really goods parts for me too.

yes Crabfart.....I'm hoping there's a soon to be released P2 which was filmed back to back & will blow our minds! Call me crazy, but I think it's remotely possible????

Yes small chance but I think a TV series is more likely from viral vids...hats off to them if they covered up a part 2 that would be awesome of course!

I just checked my local cinema listings......... Prometheus haz gone!! No more viewings for me, need to wait for the DVD/Blueray to dissect.

If you're crazy then so am I Lone ;-)

HEHEHE I'm not 'lone then! :-D

I still dream Ridley is Sci-fi God & in dreams anything's possible!!!

I've been a Jedi, a Guyver, Link and a stormtrooper in dreams before.

.....I've been Jonsey, Ripley & the wife of Chewy!

I agree with Gun and Cypher. Plus, as cinephiles we want to be well served. Good story, good aesthetics, good mental work... not Plotholes and oddities and inconsistencies and whatever the Industrie feels like spitting in our face.

Agreed David. We pay good money for this shit.

Well you know what to do if nothing gets better...

BUT what I mean is.... Star Wars and BR and even Alien have massive plot holes. People gloss over them. Why not now?
