Maybe Prometheus is not the worst movie ever made ...


... but it could probably be the one that wasted the most time and money and was probably number one in disappointment.

I find it was just overall unnecessary.. space jockey was cool in Alien cause where the fuck did he come from?! i don't care. please don't explain it to me

Even "Morons from outer space" was true to its purpose.

Maybe.

But it probably is.

it is one of the worst films ever made.

You need to see more movies. It's hugely flawed and got horrible writing and characters, other than that it is indeed very competent.

reply

I've seen a great many films from silents up to today and that is why I can say that it is one of the worst.

reply

It is simply not. Just because you have a pathological disdain for Scott and practically any other modern film director doesn't make it a fact. Prometheus has a lousy script and stupid characterisation, but it has absolute gorgeous cinematography, stunning special effects, a good score and some great acting, especially from Fassbender. It is simply not anywhere near the worst of films.

sad.

What? Your ignorance or lack of arguments?

reply

no, yours.

Yawn, get some better comebacks, cakey.

reply

No, it is one of the worst movies ever made outside of its technical beauty and general idea of it. The most frustrating part is that with a ton of common sense rewrites to the script, it could be a masterpiece, however, they managed to mess up any and every opportunity of mimicking realistic human behavior outside of hope. It's truly an atrocity

reply

That's fair.
Also anyone who uses the hyperbolic phrase "worst movie ever made" is either being overly dramatic or hasn't seen many films.

reply

It's not the worst movie, because it started to seem much better after Alien: Covenant was made.

I wonder if that was the whole purpose of making AC - to make Prometheus haters shut up about it being the worst film.

But if you think AC is bad, wait for AC2 - that's gonna make you rethink your hatred for AC.

>> But if you think AC is bad, wait for AC2 - that's gonna make you rethink your hatred for AC.

The terrible thing is that I am afraid I will actually pay to go see it.
I honestly do not get these crappy movies though ... it seems to me
that it would cost about the same to make a good movie rather than
a lousy one ... so why not make a good movie?

reply

The movie was one big "Cardiff Giant".

Look up the story of that and you'll see what I mean.

reply

Nope, not the worst by a long chalk. The award for worst in the Alien canon is COVENANT
