I think it hit some deep themes about our own morality, the corrosive nature of power and mans place in the Universe. One thing I thought was dumb was how the engineer just goes all mongo without even stopping to think perhaps humans have evolved?Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-81885782049588481752013-07-05T19:57:27.206-04:002013-07-05T19:57:27.206-04:00Since I had zero expectations when first watching ...Since I had zero expectations when first watching it, I enjoyed it. After watching Alien however, I can see why everyone was disappointed by trying to force Prometheus into being a prequel kind of thing. I first heard that the sequel is definitely coming, but some of the newer reports are saying it might not happen.<br /><br />-James James the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-8774422010471925222013-07-05T19:52:24.506-04:002013-07-05T19:52:24.506-04:00Are you referring to the graphic novel/animated fi...Are you referring to the graphic novel/animated film The Dark Knight Returns, or did you mean Dark Knight Rises. For the most part, I could overlook those issues as well because the thrills and effects were fantastic. It would definitely make my Top 10 of 2012. I have heard of the Swedish Dragon Tattoo with Rapace, I should probably watch those, thanks for recommending them. <br /><br />I agree, Theron was terribly miscast and yeah, she was even worse in Snow White. I have also heard about Young Adult, but haven't seen it yet, thanks for another recommendation.<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-16522959906688285992013-07-05T19:37:22.557-04:002013-07-05T19:37:22.557-04:00Providing you are OK with the gore, the series is ...Providing you are OK with the gore, the series is fantastic, particularly Aliens.

It's a lot like The Dark Knight Returns for me, lots of logical issues in the story but everything else works so well I could overlook some of the glaring issues. Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are great here, particularly the latter. If you want to see Rapace in a truly great role check out the Swedish Dragon Tatoo series, warning it's very dark. <br /><br />Charlize Theron felt miscast here and the less I talk about Snow White and the Huntsman the better. A smaller film she was in, Young Adult, really showcases her acting chops. <br /><br />Great review as always!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999677394326327996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-91629183669714437312013-07-05T10:38:50.361-04:002013-07-05T10:38:50.361-04:00I've been wanting to watch this movie(as well ...I've been wanting to watch this movie(as well as the other Alien films) for quite some time now, since they look really good. Glad to hear it was a pretty good movie, I'd heard some negative things on it. Shena Tokalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657993823328581910noreply@blogger.com
