I'm even more confused since this is the same place that gives that dull piece of crap John Carter a pass and blames it's lack of box office on bad marketing (whatever), and not the fact that a dull movie starring a leading man with no charisma whatsoever (sorry Tim Riggins) leads to shitty word of mouth. This is also the same place that thinks Cabin in the Woods is the greatest movie ever made, despite it's gaps of logic, because, oh, it's a deconstruction of a deconstruction of a deconstruction of a....... Am I exaggerating? Perhaps a bit. But so are the cracks in this movie. They are there, but as opposed to papering over them, this thread seems to be taking those cracks and working at them so much to make them canyons.
I think the majority of people here just expected more than the typically mindless, poorly written Hollywood fare for Ridley Scott's much lauded triumphant return to Science Fiction. Also, even though it's not an "official" Koff Koff, sequel to Alien, linking the maddeningly disappointing Prometheus so closely to that Masterpiece certainly doesn't help.
I definitely expected Prometheus to be a larger, and much smarter movie, not the rambling and confusing dumb fest that it turned out to be.
Good for you if you enjoyed it, however, the obvious script flaws alone will forever keep this movie from ever achieving the type of Reverence Alien and Aliens has earned. Prometheus, like so many other films these days just feels extremely disposable.
