Very disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (1 June 2012)

From watching the trailers I was really looking forward to seeing Prometheus and now feel very disappointed - to the extent that I felt compelled to add my first ever review on here just to cathartically share my disappointment with others.
The plot, scripting and dialogue is incredibly poor. The acting isn't great, with only Michael Fassbender coming out well from this, though to be fair to the rest of the cast they were given precious little to work with. The story lacked coherence, the action lacked tension, the science lacked rigour, reason and plausibility, the characters lacked.. well character and again plausibility... etc.
In it's favour there were some pretty visuals at the beginning... and that's about it I was actually relieved when something "scary" happened as I couldn't have cared less for the characters and there was no tension or sense of dread so the overall effect was to give some respite from the creeping boredom and hopefully kill off one of the annoying characters.
Seriously Ridley, if this is all you've got then please just retire and stop screwing with my memories of the good films you made. Still not sure how the guy who gave us Alien trample over that great film and give us this tepid tripe.
