I thought Prometheus was a totally acceptable Alien movie, it wasn't amazing but not nearly as bad as the obnoxious hyperbolic hate surrounding it would have you believe.
I agree. I actually enjoyed Prometheus. It was much better than Alien 3 and Resurrection.I thought Prometheus was a totally acceptable Alien movie, it wasn't amazing but not nearly as bad as the obnoxious hyperbolic hate surrounding it would have you believe.

Just the fact that people are even still thinking about it 5 years on means Ridley did something right

No it doesn't.
How does that even work?

People are still thinking about The Phantom Menace. Fuckin' A, George. Yousa do yousa!Just the fact that people are even still thinking about it 5 years on means Ridley did something right. I just love that Ridley gives absolutely zero fucks about what people think of his work. The man is 79 and he's gonna do what HE wants. Fuckin' A man!

I just reached Prometheus and it wasn't as bad as I remembered it to be. Hopefully covenant is even better.
prometheus is a million times better than alien 3 and resurrection and all the avp movies combined
Yep. Try as they might, nobody can convince me that Alien 3 is good.
Yep. Try as they might, nobody can convince me that Alien 3 is good. I will say the extended cut makes it better in some ways, and Fincher did decent directing work but I just do not like the story or outcome. Prometheus has some dumb writing problems due to them playing shuffle with what they wanted the movie to BE and mixing different writers but I was still engaged and wanted to see what came next.
You must have hated the original Alien then.
The biggest trend that can be gauged from the reaction is that Alien: Covenant fixes what Prometheus got wrong. Covenant is apparently much scarier than Prometheus
Alien 3's main problem is that it's just boring as fuck. Prometheus is many things, but it's not that. Even Resurrection provides some entertainment in its shittyness.
But since Resurrection is bad and Prometheus is amazingly worse somehow
I know Japan tends to get movies later, but my god that's late!!!Japanese release is September 15... Guess I'll be importing the BluRay before then. At least once the movie is over, I'll still have something to show for it. God damn you, Japanese cinema operators.

I really enjoyed it and I think it will be remembered more fondly in the future.
Alien 3 is okay at best. It's too broken to be GOOD, I think.
But since Resurrection is bad and Prometheus is amazingly worse somehow, Alien 3 still hold onto that #3 spot.
Speaking of Prometheus, one of my favorite film critics, Matt Zoller Seitz, is currently livetweeting his second-ever viewing of the film (first since it opened) if you'd like to follow along.
It won't.
It's been five years. What's going to happen that people suddenly (or gradually, whatever) come around on a movie most have decided is kinda poor?Who are you, Nostra-fucking-damus?
Prometheus was bad ass, I'm pretty surprised people didn't like it too.
If early reactions could be taken seriously, Thor: Dark World and Batman V Superman would be considered to be among some of the greatest movies of all time.
I'll wait for the official reviews.
Sure, argue that it's worse than Alien 3, but Resurrection? How is that possible?
Whatever else Prometheus might be, it's visually beautiful. Resurrection is a full serving of shit, Prometheus is shit with sprinkles.
People really give modern Ridley too much creditIt won't.
Prometheus ain't better than Alien 3 or even AVP!Hate click is what happened to Prometheus. It's wasn't great, but it was by far the best Alien movie since Aliens.
It can't be worse than Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, AVP, AVP: R or Prometheus, can it?
You must have hated the original Alien then.
The only thing this movie need to be better than prometius, is for the main characters to make decisions that are more intelligent than 2nd grade kids.
