Prometheus:Overrated,underrated,or in between

IMDB has it at 7/10

Rotten Tomatoes is 72%.

Which says to me, good but not brilliant.  Which is about right.

Agreed.It's the third highest rated Alien film although it's not technically one.

In my opinion it's not overrated, it's not underrated it's just kind of blah. Too many things to list that I would have done differently, probably change the whole script. I hope at least some questions get answered in Alien: Covenant that were left unanswered in the previous film, I know they won't tackle them all and they shouldn't yet but hopefully a few get answered. In a previous thread you did I just really wanna know what the fuck is really going on with David.

That would be in between.

Double post 

I loved Prometheus....96 more days to go till we find out the rest of the story!! can't wait!

Jack in The Departed.Great movie.

Loved it. But it has it's flaws.....so I think 72-80% is just right. 

Like Blade Runner, it'll take time to digest. Probably another 20 years of retrospect....then nostalgia will kick in and give it another boost in the rankings.

Oh... and I like watching it in B/W with motion blur and spatial blur(VLC player)...gives it a very gritty look and feel.

 I think over the place few years it has already gained a decent amount of respect.Of course not every body likes it and that's just fine.

Eh, it's pretty mediocre IMO

Agree with S.M

I don't really think it's anything special, but I haven't been inclined to watch it in a few years. 

It kind of comes across as pretentious.

I love Prometheus. I loved seeing the Engineers for the first time. I loved bridging the gap of were the first ship in Alien came from. For me this movie opened up so many possibilities about how many different weapons they were testing. I loved how Waylend told David to infect Halloway to see what the black goo would do to Halloway , such as maybe make him stronger. Since that's way Peter came with them to find out if he could gain more life , but Halloway got sick . So David had to wake the Engineer up to ask him face to face about giving more life to Peter but the Engineer was mad at this request and killed everyone.

I could go on and on but the bottom line is I loved Prometheus and watch it all the time for any information i missed.

I too love Prometheus.Looking back at it,it has it's fair share of flaws i initially overlooked(scientists doing dumb things etc.)But i still love it.I rank it 3rd after Aliens and Alien.

@ninXeno426 I would rank mine at Alien Prometheus Alien3 AvPR Aliens AvP and Alien R.

Sounds cool.I have a ranking thread,feel free to post it there.I see your a bit of a Reqiuem fan.

ill have to check it out but yea, the Predalien was a crazy idea with it putting chest bursters in pregnant women was insane and it made my female friends odd saying they would not want to imagine what having you child being eaten and then bursting out of your stomach while you're still alive would feel like.

I like the predator in the movie.He was pretty badass,i just wish he got a better movie.

off topic but yea he was only there to stop the outbreak, he went there pretty much knowing he was going to die but he did kill the queen before the nuke/bomb hit them. His helmet said something along the line of : No for the hunt , Not for the Honor but to clean up the mess the other Predators made.

The ratings are what they are. David stole the show while Shaw and almost everyone else ruined it. I watch it almost once a year to see if I might like it more but I like it less after each viewing- except for David.
