Rating: 5/10 (22 September 2012)

SPOILERS!
Hello!
My wife and I saw "Prometheus" (2012) after watching "The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze" (1963).
I made humorous comments to her about The Three Stooges versus the Prometheus Crew. After thought, I realized that The Three Stooges were more intelligent, and also the plots were remarkably similar!
Don't believe me? Read on to see The Three Stooges VASTLY superior intellects!
1. Memory and spacial skills:
Stooges: The Three Stooges (and Phileas Fogg III) see a map ONCE, and successfully navigate 24,000 miles around the world!
Prometheus: Milburn and Fifield get LOST inside the alien spacecraft, and can't go the mile to their ship, EVEN with mapping drones showing the spacecraft's interior and their exact location!
Clear winners by 24,000 miles, The Three Stooges!
2. Simple instinct of self preservation:
Stooges: Thrown into a jail cell, which has a cobra snake in a basket, The Three Stooges show caution, and take protective action.
Prometheus: Milburn teases a cobra-like alien snake REPEATEDLY, ending up (deservedly) dead. Fifield gets a horrible infection.
Clear winners, The Three Stooges!
3. Patience, and appropriate situational action:
Stooges: Phileas and Amelia show patience during courtship, and forgo sex; appropriate for the situation.
Prometheus: TWICE, inappropriate sex occurs, with horrifying results. Holloway and Shaw have sex after Holloway has foolishly exposed the landing party to possible alien infection. Shaw gets impregnated with a squid alien.
Captain Janek abandons his post for sex with Vickers. During this time, Milburn is killed. Fifield is infected. One of them might've been saved, otherwise.
Clear winners, The Three Stooges! (and Phileas)
4. Caution and observation prior to entering dangerous alien environments:
Stooges: Hiding in steamer trunks on the dock of an alien country, Moe carefully surveys the area with a periscope for possible danger prior to entry.
Prometheus: They barge onto an unknown alien planet regardless of possible infections, possibly dangerous aliens, or anything else! Entire expedition dead (except one).
Clear winners, The Three Stooges!
5. Appropriate antibacterial precautions:
Stooges: Curly Joe stokes up a stove with a hot, roaring fire to safely cook food before serving. Moe serves wine from a freshly opened bottle. Possible infections stopped BEFORE contamination.
Prometheus: David serves Holloway wine, with alien bacteria as a "secret" ingredient. Holloway's later burnt to death by flamethrower to stop the bacterial infection. Fifield's also burnt to death to stop infection. Infections stopped only AFTER contamination, leaving two dead.
Clear winners, The Three Stooges!
6. Appropriate reaction to injury:
Stooges: When a falling steamer trunk hits Moe's head, he lies there until recovering. Larry and Curly Joe show concern, and take appropriate helpful action.
Prometheus: When Shaw's belly's sliced open by the electronic "doctor", to remove the squid alien, she runs around like an athlete. NO ONE notices the foot long belly incision (even though dressed only in panties and bra), that she's covered in blood, or offers help of any kind, other than David giving her a coat (VERY little help!).
Clear winners, The Three Stooges!
7. Ability to work with and help others, and achieving your goals:
Stooges: Throughout, everyone helps everyone else achieve the goal.
Prometheus: Throughout, almost everyone is at each others throats, EVEN THOUGH they supposedly have the same goal.
Clear winners, The Three Stooges!
8. Thrift, and being able to work within a budget:
Stooges: Traveled 24,000 miles, WITHOUT spending a farthing on transportation costs, using their wits.
Prometheus: Cost of trip: one TRILLION dollars!
Clear winners, The Three Stooges!
9. Taking appropriate risks for large goals:
Stooges: At the end, The Three Stooges crash a police lorry into The Reformers Club. Result: no injuries, and the large wager's won, preventing bankruptcy. Phileas and Amelia Carter are united.
Prometheus: At the end, Captain Janek crashes his ship into the alien ship. Result: all dead on board, but the alien ship is downed. (The alien's motives cannot be fully known, but suspicions were that it'd destroy Earth.)
Winners, The Three Stooges! (Everyone on the Prometheus died, but the Stooges were alive and kicking. Shaw's not united with boyfriend Holloway.)
(If you think that saving Earth outweighs winning wagers, The Three Stooges ALSO saved Earth, in "Have Rocket -- Will Travel"!)
Similar Plot Points:
1. Stooges: A dangerous long journey's undertaken due to obsession of rich man. Prometheus. A dangerous long journey's undertaken due to obsession of rich man.
2. Stooges: Repeatedly exposed to life and death danger in alien environments. Prometheus: Repeatedly exposed to life and death (usually death) danger in alien environments.
3. Stooges: Larry uses a flute to control a cobra AND Curly Joe (who reacts violently to, "POP! Goes the Weasel"), to escape jail, and win at sumo wrestling. Prometheus: Aliens use a flute to control their spaceship.
4. Stooges: Cavendish and his henchman try to kill The Three Stooges throughout. (Completely fails.) Prometheus: Aliens try to kill the crew throughout. (Almost completely succeeds.)
5. Stooges: Emotionless, rigid man learns to love. (Phileas/Amelia) Prometheus: Emotionless, rigid robot almost learns to love. (David/Shaw)
6. Stooges: The rich man realizes that there're things much more important than his original goal. Prometheus: The rich man realizes that there're things much more important than his original goal.
7. Stooges: The finale involves intentionally crashing their vehicle into a specific target to achieve goals. Prometheus: The finale involves intentionally crashing their vehicle into a specific target to achieve goals.
So, PROOF POSITIVE, The Three Stooges are GENIUSES compared to the Prometheus Crew!
Also, you can see how the "Prometheus" script has stolen numerous plot points from "The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze" (which, by the way, is better)!
Hope this was helpful!
