Thanks, Sweeps.  I really enjoyed reading it.

But not as much as I enjoyed reading this one:

But we must admit that apart from Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise on a nominee, but (almost) non-rewarded and a Gladiator who has at least had the merit of giving back to the epic lost its luster (if not indisputable ), the lover of replicants has since mostly given in the demo but effective technique divested (American Gangster, Black Hawk Down) while wallowing, moreover, in an unspeakable soup (Kingdom Of Heaven, Robin wood).

in an unspeakable soup (Kingdom Of Heaven, Robin wood).

Robin wood

What the f**k was that movie about?

And damn I really have to share this.  Not sure if epic typo, serious misinterpretation, or highly unlikely face-melting spoiler?

And if the pair of scientists at the origin of the shipment (Noomi Rapace, hallucinating, and Logan Marshall-Green)

Holy shit, now we're getting serious:

Watch Prometheus is like to undergo insemination graphic, it feels good always carried by the current, good speed, good size especially.

Spoiler

to undergo insemination graphic

  Those 3-D glasses better make decent condoms, if this is the indeed the case.

good size especially.

Hi fellow Alien's fans,

I just write to say : don't worry ! Prometheus will be good !

I worked on the Ecran Fantastique Hors série and I published this very positive review (than I didn't write ; I'll see the movie in 24 hours) : http://translate.google.com/translate?client=tmpg&hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.effets-speciaux.info%2Farticle%3Fid%3D682&langpair=fr|en

French critics are like US ou UK critics ; nobody have the same tastes ;-)
My friends (who are Alien's fans) have fell in love with Prometheus (even if tit's quite different), so... don' worry ! :-)

I'm still reading in the reviews some things pointed out as negatives that were staples of the original. One said that the characters split up, and call it a schoolboy error, but this was already a cliche in Alien when Brett was told to find the cat. I wonder how Prometheus handles it...

I still can't get behind any critic that suggests Black Hawk Down wasn't a good war movie, or a great movie in general for that matter.  These people have to be completely out of their minds, honestly, with tastes so different than mine, their review suddenly seems to matter much less.

UH-OH..Some french people hated the movie...
UH-OH..Because they did not like it we should not see it..
BUT WAIT WHAT DOES THE REST OF THE WORLD THINK ABOUT THE MOVIE...
The no name FRENCH REVIEWERS are renowned worldwide for their superior taste in reviews..why we don't see a movie without their approval..
Honestly SHEEP please wait till other more credible reviewers see the movie than decide if you want to see this..

ecranlarge.com gives Prometheus (4/5).

God another generalization, full of clichés shit...
Can't you understand that fans, geeks, fanboys all around the world are alike.
How are you going to react when peoplke from your country will diss the movie?
Diss them or just respect the fact that they might not have the same tastes as you and might have OH MY GOD WAIT FOR IT another opinion than yours YIKES YEAH I KNOW THAT IS SCARY FOR YOU....
People can be different to you and yet not be wrong.
THAT IS SCARY right huh?

[Pvt. Himmel]

81% fresh ... are we over-inflating the negativity here or what? Are we that sensitive? run to theaters, says one review, because you rarely get to see science fiction as adult, as pure and as globally significant. Another says, Thirty-two years after Alien, Sir Ridley burgled the Olympus of the SF for a second time  and descends majestically, with pockets full of sacred fire (4/5 review) And another: Prometheus is a great success despite the 2-3 reservations, a premium movie that amateur science fiction has not seen on the big screen for a long time. Enjoy it without hesitation. And finally: In short, PROMETHEUS is fantastic, it achieved all its goals and often surpassed them.

Some people who don't like it think that they are the foremost authority on the ALIEN FRANCHISE that they can try to get others to assume that there is only one definitive review and that's a negative one...

This, dude.  So many of those other reviews didn't seem to say much about the rest of the bloody movie aside from whatever 4 minute sequence they found disagreeable.

I foresee a wave of chill hitting the freak-out beach soon.   Movie's still going to rock, and another huge point that no one points out is that finally, after nearly 15 years (longer for some) we have an alien-related sci-fi movie that was given the proper treatment that an Alien film should receive.

Even if the film disappoints in areas, and of course it probably will, it was a fantastic effort and this is obvious from so much of what we've already seen.

That's a lot of points in my book, the effort and the treatment, they treated the franchise as a whole with respect.

Stop putting words into my mouth.
This is really lame. Even from you.
My opening statement was that it was my own opinion and that's all.
Not word of gospel or anything so stop saying that i said I AM RIGHT THIS IS THE TRUTH.
I'm just saying that you should not diss people because they are not from your country or dont have the same opinion as you thats it.
I'm happy peoples like the movie.
Who said otherwise?
God some guy are really something...

You guys also focus yourself on the negative things i said.
Should i remind you that i said i loved the movie until the engineer is awaken wich is like 20 minutes before the end.
iI just don't like the final act.
Can i? s that clear enough for you.
Now if my word is not CREDIBLE enough for you at least stop dissing my country.

chill out dude, he was talking in general about all this people that ignore all the good reviews and concentrate on the bad ones. sorry to say this, but you are kinda aggressive all the time, you have a short fuse with people that don't agree with you on something
