I'm with you.

Not sure why prometheus gets so much hate in the first place...other than it's the cool thing to do.

Absolutely.

I saw it at the IMAX twice and I was blown away each time.

I need to see it again before I can probably make an intelligent argument either way for loving it or hating it.

But from what I remember, my biggest complaint was wondering why they didn't just connect a few dots to make it a direct prequel to Alien. They had the space jockey in the ship, and everything looked identical to what was found in the original Alien, and everything seemed to be set up to lead into the original movie, but they weren't on the same planet, right?

Why go to the trouble of setting all of that up, and then change a few key details so it can't connect to the original Alien? I guess I didn't understand that creative decision.

It didn't need to be a direct prequel for me to enjoy it, but it seems like they tried really hard to make it connect with the original film, and then made some simple unnecessary changes to make sure that it didn't actually connect

This line of thinking bewilders me.

What is more likely; that people just have different tastes/expectations or EVERYONE else that says they didn't like the movie are just liars and trying to be edgy and different?
