Good, but would it ever have been given the chance to be great?

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2012)

Went to see Prometheus today and I did really enjoy it, if you take it at face value it has to be viewed as a first class film for it's genre. The problem will always be that Ridley Scott was never going to be able to surpass Alien and as hard as the Prometheus bandwagon has tried to assure us it is not a prequel to Alien (which it is, lets be honest), that is ultimately what it is being viewed as and being held up to, therefore it was never going to live up to everyones expectations. Agreed it has no where near the suspense or original scares as Alien, but how could it and to be fair I don't think is what was being aimed for, I would recommend just going to see it with an open mind and just enjoy the ride, which compared to much of the tripe being churned out by Hollywood, is pretty darn good!
