Not as bad as you may have heard

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2012)

When the reviews started coming out for this movie. You would have thought that Ridley Scott had raped a child with the way that some of his detractors went on. As much as I love films I am able to separate life from them. If a movie I was looking forward to sucked I would move on and not waste another moment on it.
Prometheus I actually enjoyed quite a bit. Initially I was disappointed that no xenomrophs were to be featured as i am a huge fan of the first two alien movies. But upon seeing it, it became obvious that this movie was a completely different beast. The alien movies are different in tone and tend to focus heavily on the aliens themselves. Where as Promethius focuses on the world around them. It is a bigger movie, one that wants to tell a much more epic story. And this where I think a lot of this movies flak comes from.
The fact of the matter is that people wanted another alien. But given that the first is such a classic and that James Cameron managed to capture lighting in a bottle again for the sequel. I think Ridley Scott was wise to not try and repeat himself.
So is it Perfect? Absolutely not. It was quite obvious that the Producers want a franchise. A lot of questions that relate to Alien were not answered. Nor has a lot of the questions that Promethius itself asked were unanswered. Instead there was an implication that it would all be revealed in a sequel. As a result the film felt a little Incomplete. But it is still quite a good movie. One that I, as I said before, really enjoyed. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender were both fantastic and the rest did their Job.
Bottom line just try and enjoy it for what it is and do not have any expectations on what you think it should be.
