I think Ridley is very much a director in sense that he just puts the pieces together, rather than have full involvement in the story to be told.

He is great at directing but it's just he doesn't always work with the best writers or have the best scripts. That's my opinion anyway.

The way its going, i dont think it matters who directs it because it will all go downhill, the big mystery aka the jockeys are revealed as big humanoids and THAT we did not want.
I kinda get it, that this final movie we got wasnt the way Ridley wanted it to be, its impossible.
I like the movie, but it didnt even once satisfied my curiosity for the jockeys and the other mysteries like the green crystal and the murals.
But if another director goes for it, i would give Fincher a free hand. After seeing Zodiac for the 10th time, i would give it to him, he knows how to keep a long story interesting.

It's unwise to presume you speak for everyone.

But he does speak for the majority ;)

Sorry, but unless the Engineers are revealed as mere lapdogs for a grander species, I'll be eternally disappointed at Riddles's choice to make them humanoid.

Having watched it again, the movie is actually far worse than I remembered.

Some fans just can't help setting themselves up for disappointment over and over again. ;)

Or indeed 'eternally'.  ;D

Hey at least it's something worth living for...

It might, the fact remains that the mystery is gone, the big fossilized mystery giant alien in his weird looking ship with his weird interior has come to show its just a humanoid.
When you watch Prometheus and David walks to the cryo chamber where the surviving engineer lies, you see the suits of the jockeys standing, it looks so stupid and so dull like someone with no imagination and creativity had just put it there, i bet Giger rolled over when he saw that, but then again it tells us or me :) in what time we live, there are just too many things and movies who dont have a soul or a heart like they did back then.
So again, Prometheus 2 will suck, i have no doubt about it.

The mystery is not gone. The only thing we know is what it looks like, and that they match our DNA. Everything else is still up for speculation.

If they don't fix the Engineers = Space Jockeys issue in a sequel then I'm dropping everything after A3 and just having Alien, Aliens and Alien 3 as my personal canon. Then living in a hermit and never watching another single movie every again.

QuoteEdwards stands out for me personally

He's made a mediocre monster movie and a decent trailer. I'm not sure why he would "stand out". The visuals, sets and design of Prometheus is probably one thing that most people, even the haters, can agree was damn good.

Think back to when we watched the Prometheus trailer, there were guy's blowing loads for weeks.
