Bad... just bad.

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2012)

Let's not beat about the bush, Prometheus is bad, two hours plus of Absolute Nonsense. Poor script, plot holes like a bloody minefield. Quasireligious references placed not-so-subtly throughout and annoyingly, unbelievably stupid (or lack of) characters and character choices. Just wondering, is Ridley going mad or senile in his later days? I seriously hope he stops making blockbusters; his oeuvre has been utterly terrible since that movie where Orlando Bloom plays a blacksmith that saves Jerusalem and/or the world from a bearded guy or something.
I can't even start to pick apart this film, it's too much and frankly it's not worth it. Just imagine Alien upside down, take anything that was good about it, ram a black, slimy Hollywood's development execs CGI tentacle through it and watch the irregular, black splotch on your screen. If you have dwindling, fond memories of the original, give this maggot-ridden cheesefest a miss.
