What's With Ridley Scott?

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2013)

I understand that Mr. Scott didn't much like not being invited back to do the sequels to "Alien", even though "Aliens" was almost as good as his effort. I understand that he maintained that "Prometheus" was not going to be a sequel, even though it has 80% of the elements of the first film.
I guess Ol' Ridley decided to let this terrible movie, with its inappropriately inadequate cast, be his "gotcha!" to the studios.
It's not just a bad, inconsequential movie; and it isn't that it returns to the "stupid scientists" ideas of his former work("Hey, why not treat alien life forms like pets or cute fuzzy animals, ignoring any protocols we might have about that!"); it isn't even that it doesn't add anything really relevant to the Alien concordance.
It's a half effort by a talented director, and it isn't a very good half. If I had known what a letdown it was going to be (and I had my misgivings) I would've saved my money.
Let's all hope Ridley doesn't (not) make a sequel to Blade Runner.....
