St. Eddie,my comments were to the generalized population here on AvP that's all. I would agree that a healthy dose of optimism mixed with skepticism is a good thing when approaching anything. Myself I'm as terrified that Prometheus won't be good as I am excited that I will be an amazing film.
The 'summer blockbuster schlock' comment seemed a bit flippant and nonchalant, is all. Of course we're all here to have fun ultimately.
Cool mate, no worries.
Not that I made the "summer blockbuster schlock" comment but I think I can understand what the person who posted that meant by that; in as much as the trailer is heavy on fast cuts, heavy action and no dialogue. Of course, this is to be expected and it's worth noting that the trailer for 'Alien' did much the same. However, aside from the 'TED talk viral video' (which incidentally I adore) we still haven't actually seen any character based moments from the actual film.
I have absolute faith in Ridley Scott to deliver on this front (heck, he excels in that department) but going purely by what we've seen in the trailers; one could be forgiven for being under the impression that 'Prometheus' is set to be an action-adventure romp, with striking visuals but little else.
Again, I must stress that
I don't hold that belief but I can at least appreciate why someone might.
