They should have known better

Rating: 3/10 (27 October 2012)

I give this movie a "3" because watching it wasn't a complete waste of time, but other than that it is a bad movie. The reasons for that were pointed out by many of the other reviewers. Even those who gave the movie a good rating 8 to 10 were insightful enough to mention the movie's abundance of plot holes and out-of-character behavior, but they gave it a good rating anyways, reasoning that one should not expect too much from a movie like that. On the other side of the spectrum there a people giving it a "1", also clearly an overreaction. I'm so confused!
Anyway, looking at the names of the director and his writers, I can only conclude that with their experience they should have known better. They should have allowed for a little bit of self criticism to settle in half way into the story development and go back and reconstruct some of the elements once more from scratch, and it would have resulted in a movie at least worth a fair rating of 6 to 7.
And now to round it up with a little bit of controversy, here's why I think that there hasn't been an original plan to do a "Prometheus Part 2". But before I do lets insert a
SPOILER ALERT
I believe that the writers didn't originally aim for a part 2 because all the questions have actually been answered in this movie.
The movie is named "Prometheus" after the alien that appears in the first scene. He is the "god" that came down to give birth to humanity (rather accidentally it seems) and is punished for it. Judging from the can of worms he eats (for whatever reason), humanity is just one more experiment of biological warfare going out of control. But unlike the all the other experiments humanity actually manages to develop things like space travel, artificial beings, and so on, so the "human experiment" turns out far more dangerous than even the most devious Alien(TM). No wonder the Creators hate humans so much.
A neat idea, but it doesn't make up for all the other crappy ones.
