I am starting to have a sour taste in my mouth after reading such fanboycentric negativity. I finally get it.
Oh, here we go. I wondered when that word would get an airing. It's like a rusty shotgun the empty-headed haul out when their vocabulary fails them. It's also a meaningless, lazy term that has absolutely no descriptive value or definition except maybe "someone who has an opinion I disagree with".
People are entitled to have whatever views they wish, including negative. From what I've seen, those who dislike the film have almost always been able to put their gripes into detailed, point-by-point form, while most of the laudatory reviewers appear to have problems being specific - unless words like "awesome" and "badass" are your idea of expressive. I was going to say that their opinion is just as valid as yours or something like that, but in fact it's
more valid, because they've actually seen the movie, and you haven't. If someone feels negatively about
Prometheus, so what? If your enjoyment of the picture is contingent on the attitudes of others then maybe you need to rethink your viewing habits. Nobody is forcing you to read them. From what I've read of your posts it's clear that you are determined
Prometheus will be great and that you will enjoy it, even if the film turns out to be two hours of B&W footage of a steam train pulling into a station. So why sweat over the views of others? I saw the film yesterday and thought it stank like refried roadkill, but that doesn't affect anyone else's enjoyment, except perhaps the hyper-sensitive.
