Directed by somebody who doesn't respect the viewers' intelligence

Rating: 2/10 (26 May 2017)

I agree with all the people who trashed this movie, it's well justified. But I expected no better from a director who hasn't made a decent movie since Thelma and Louise, back in 1991. Since then he's specialised in mindless, plot less, pretentious and childish box office fodder. Whatever the subject matter, he's managed to infantilise it, totally underestimating the viewers' intelligence. From politically correct re-writings of history (1492 and Kingdom of Heaven) to dull retellings of iconic stories like Robin Hood and Exodus, he's flattened everything in his wake. He even managed to spoil Silence of the Lambs by directing the dire Hannibal. No wonder he's now spoiling his own legacy with his prequels to Alien. I expect that the upcoming sequel to Blade Runner will not be any better.
