Prometheus: DO NOT SEE.

[Moviefan2k4]

I saw Bourne: Legacy. It was confusing at first being that there was a different actor. I bet most people that saw it didn't like it because they didn't know that Ludlum didn't write that book... 

Well, the movies aren't based on the actual stories of the books to begin with. Only the first one stayed fairly close, but after that, the filmmakers went their own way. The title of the new film is actually taken from the first of Eric van Lustbader's series.

On another note, I watched "The Long Kiss Goodnight" for the first time yesterday; it was a little too freaky for me. I should have expected it, since Renny Harlin had done the fourth "Nightmare on Elm Street" as well. Geena Davis did an amazing job with the "psycho" persona, but overall, its not my kind of film. I also just read he was responsible for "Die Hard 2", easily the worst of them all.

I knew about the difference between the movies and the books. It was just that the people I was watching it with were saying stuff like this seems different and stuff.

Prometheus: DO NOT SEE.

What was wrong with that movie anyway? I've never seen it, and my friend said he liked it.

If you're at all a fan of the Alien series, then Prometheus will really piss you off.  That, and it's a pretty terrible movie aside from that. Leaves nothing to the imagination, forcibly shoves its quasi-spiritual/philisophical plot down your throat all while treating the viewer as if they're retarded (I.e. by spelling out every last little stupid detail), and then posing/answering a slew of questions that no Alien fan gives a shit about, but completely ignoring any unanswered questions that they do have.

Scott kept insisting that it was NOT going to be an alien prequel, and I wish he had told the truth. It was entirely a prequel and entirely crap.

Just sayin'.

Oh, yeah I'm a fan! Sounds pretty disappointing, but I'll have to rent it or something to see for myself.

Also
Dune
Battle Royale
The Shining
Logan's Run


all of them differentiate themselves from the source material...but are still good.

Being in the non-Alien viewing minority (I KNOW I KNOW, they're on my to-watch list!!), I saw Prometheus and thought it was an alright movie.  The ending definitely left me with some "wtf...?" questions and from what I know of the Alien origins it seems to contradict some things but I'm not entirely positive.  In my opinion it wasn't a horrible movie, but not something to rush out and see.  There was many points of the movie where I found myself questioning character motives, but maybe that's what Scott was going for.

Prometheus: DO NOT SEE.

Too late

I saw it around the time it was released.

As an alien movie...it left a lot to be desired, but as a stand alone movie where I didn't try to tie it to aliens, then it wasn't so bad lol.  From what I first heard, It wasn't meant to tie into the previous Alien movies...but then I heard that it does...so I dunno.  I still enjoyed the movie, but again, as an Alien's movie I think they could've done a lot better.

Watched the new Total Recall yesterday.

It was crap.

[ShoothimNow]

I will watch Prometheus only if it has a Vudu Digital Copy.  I have over 600 movies owned on Vudu, woot!
