IVL - I'm afraid it's one of those movies that the more you think about it, the more it fades. At least that's the situation with me. Yet some folks, whether Ebert or Bret Easton Ellis or David Poland or whoever I usually like to read their opinions on shit seemed to get much more out of PROMETHEUS than I did. *shrugs*
But the Internet is being brutal.
Galactic Goofs: The 10 Stupidest Crew Mistakes in ‘Prometheus’http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/prometheus-mistakes-rfure.php I agree with the fading comment. Especially when put up against
Alien and
Aliens, which have stood the test of time.
I do think too much credit or blame falls on a director. I always look at the writer(s) of a movie as well, who often get overlooked despite being such a big part of it all. Though I suppose one could blame Scott for taking on this project with the problems in the script. And more problems stand out after reading that rundown.
