shut up

I thought Prometheus was decent for what it was: a popcorn sci-fi thriller. Alien was like that, Aliens was like that, so why are we saying that they're somehow more intelligent than Prometheus? They all have the same level of intelligence.

These people expected "Blade Runner" and they ended up getting "True Lies." I say they should be happy with what they got. Not all good movies are these deep, philosophical Charlie Kaufman-lite experiments. Not all bad movies are big epic dumb blockbusters.

just sayin.

>These people expected "Blade Runner"

The funny thing is that I don't think the people who made "Blade Runner" expected "Blade Runner" either. From what I hear everyone hated each other on set and it's a miracle it turned into anything good at all.

Are you handicapped? Do you have a special parking permit?

Prometheus wasn't just bad, it was nonsensical, poorly written, poorly acted, poorly thought out and worst of all boring. I can handle a shitty movie that grabs my attention, but calling it a "popcorn scifi thriller" is giving it way, way too much credit. I legitimately had to shake my head to stay awake at parts.

But the problem was that they tried SO HARD to be philosophical. It was like sitting in a dorm room, passing the bong and talking about how life on Earth REALLY started.

And then a Xenomorph pops out because why not tie the two films together in order to make a bigger profit?

and xenomorph you mean that one facehugger and that one chestburster.

seriously. for an aliens movie, it had almost no aliens. at least those conversations have a bong involved, so its somewhat forgivable.
