Do Prometheus fans exist? – The 82 Sins of Prometheus

Not a fan of pretentious rants, they always seem a bit preachy to me, but I can put up with this guy because he sums up my disappointment in PROMETHEUS to a tee. He points out a few legitimate complaints anyway. I would say ‘Spoiler Alert’ around about now but in all honesty, this won’t change your thoughts — you obviously know what I am talking about or you wouldn’t be reading/watching this. Standard Hollywood imperatives ahoy!

Technically, PROMETHEUS is a visual treat (kudos Ridley), and I am a science fiction nut so I love it solely for that. But PROMETHEUS is riddled with so many poorly written moments, I have to stop myself from thinking about them or I just might bust a nut, and not in the good way.

God damn it, that’s not all! I (everyone for this matter) have grown up attuning my mind expecting my intellect will be rewarded with visual stimulation and that my devoted time anticipating and my decision to watch any movie is affirmed, well spent in the hands of a masterful storyteller. PROMETHEUS shat all over that belief of mine, thus committing the biggest movie sin of all — Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies, in other words, PISS ME OFF!!!

I watched it in 3D too! So that’s like disappointment squared or some shit.
