re: Prometheus 2 moving forward.

What sort of expectations were necessary to have?

My problem is the assumption that people who like the film are right, and that you can't not like the film (I'm not saying you do, but people confirmed your comment after) as if people who don't like the film have some invalid reason, or they "expected" too much, and that caused their distaste. It's like those who don't like the film are WRONG.

On the expectation front, I can maybe seen the point, but I would still like an explanation, mostly because what does it means in terms of Ridley Scott, his comments about the film, the feel from the trailer, what should I have felt?

The only reason I don't want to rehash all of this is because I am about to leave for the day (for the game). But we have literally had this exact discussion several times before.

And I'll definitely admit that part of the "expectataions" thing is on Scott himself from the initial press about this movie. But after that initial period, it was never really a direct "Alien prequel" like so many people were wanting (although I think it will align more closely with that once the sequels come out).

As for this:

That's up to each person. For me, I wanted a cool sci fi movie that dealt with sort of the alien universe. And that's what I got. A lot of the questions posed in this thread (and every other thread) can be answered quite easily, excluding mainly some of the stupidity of the characters (but even those actions drove the plot/action). Really we should just link the old Prometheus threads and if people want to read them, they can.
