The best movies are ones which feature a scene where the bins are taken out.Apart from Upstream color, that wasn't a very good movie, although the bit where that guy takes the bins out was good.Prometheus hasn't got any scenes of bins being taken out but it was still good, although maybe a lot of the script should have been thrown in the bin.

wait, who liked prometheus? i liked the first like 30 minutes when i thought it was a weird mass effect movie but as soon as they left the ship the movie went off the good

Roger Ebert liked it, but I suspect he only wrote that review so people wouldn't be sad when he died.

I dug Prometheus for what it was trying to be; a sci-fi horror film with not all questions answered. I do agree though that the follow through wasn't very convincing for getting where it needed to go. A lot of people shout at this film for the same reason they shout at most horror films: the characters are so stupid that they die. Horror films are supposed to have stupid and flawed characters who make mistakes and end up dying because that's more or less what we want to see out of a horror. The problem is that Ridley Scott doesn't place as much tension for the hunt and just willingly throws the characters in the traps.

A lot of my friends have compared the film to Blade Runner in critical response. When Blade Runner first came out, it was panned by several critics for similar reasoning in the story. Since then, many critics have gone back and revised their views on the film. It'll be interesting to see how the film is looked back on in 10 years.

haha prometheus was bad dude, it will not get the same revision as blade runner.

except for the self abortion scene, which was so transcendent of its milieu that i could not believe i was actually seeing it. truly one of the most incredible things in any movie.

the problem with the horror genre is that it gets the most slack lots of the time to try newish thing, or weird things. nothing is better than all the weird rear end 70's and 80's horror b movies that got released.

Strongly agree. Also I will be contentious and say that Freddy Got Fingered is brilliant.

Also, Punisher: War Zone is the best Marvel movie. And while I won't twist your arm if you don't like them, Street Fighter the Movie and both xXx movies are clearly intended to be goofy action-comedies which seems to fly over a lot of peoples' heads (on the Internet, at least).

Zardoz is a great movie, although it takes a couple watches to appreciate how awesome it is.

prometheus is loving dogshit and you're borderline autistic if you see something beyond what is presented on the screen. it was written by the guy who made lost and it's full of the same "lol ill just put nonsense in and people will say they like just to look smart" bullshit.

It's weird, because I brought up the part where the dude gets buried in poo poo, and she went
"Yeah, I didn't like that part. It was pretty gross."
Which I'm pretty sure means she's not part of the movie's intended audience
