I liked Prometheus. I don't see what was so hard to understand about it.

This attitude that the reason a person disliked it because he didn't understand it is pompous, innaccurate, and annoying to the extreme. It was a pretty movie. I also don't mind that there are questions left unanswered.
I HATED HATED HATED the storytelling. IMO it was disjointed. The characters actions were over the top which I didn't think fit the film, and several of the actions of the characters did not make sense. Add in a superfluous character in Theron and a lame as shite Pierce and you have a very disapointing film.
I wanted to like it. I really did. Science fiction is my first literary and cinematic love. I just can't.
ETA: I am aware that this is supposed to be part one of a trilogy. I plan on giving the second a chance, but if I dislike it as much as the first then I am just going to give up on them.

Hugo is right, though. It's a pretty film, but Ridley Scott is supposed to be better than that. The only reason for filmmakers to tie everything to proven franchises is money. You don't need Ridley Scott for that. Michael Bay can hook you up with pretty money makers all day. Go nuts.
Anyway, they already ran the Alien franchise into the ground with that piece of shite 4th one, and much of the creative source material (aliens taylored to the kind of life form they invade, etc.) came from that movie.
I don't even want to respond to the Blade Runner tie in. Hopefully, that was just for the fans.
Ridley Scott is one of my favorite directors, but like all artists, his past accomplishments mean nothing in regard to his current efforts.
2 more of these? Super. Enjoy your golden Depends, Rid.
