I thoroughly enjoyed Prometheus, I don't understand where all this hate is coming from.
Oh boo hoo, it needed a bit of thought to understand it, the Space Jockey wasn't what you thought it was, and it wasn't a prequel that ended exactly five minutes before Alien.
To be fair, though, the ending was pants.

Yes totally. It could have been better but it was an enjoyable movie regardless.
as for the dumb scientists hey they are in all films. look at John Hurt in Alien. "hey look a completely unknown alien species egg I'll stick my face right into it!'

Hollywood film => main characters behave like retards.

Had flaws but great to see a proper sci-fi film and not dumb kiddie shit.
If you like proper sci-fi and not dumb kiddie shit you should totes read my short story "Dawn Touches the Girl" available for a measly dollar from all good online booksellers including Amazon and iBooks! It, err, features vampires.
It needed a bit of thought?!?!? Are you serious?!? It was such a dumbdown of what they could have done, but no, Scott decides to go and spew out Erick Von Danicken. Thought provoking indeed.
Yawn.

This.
There's a difference between "I didn't get this at first but appreciated it more with thought because it asked a lot of me" and "I didn't get this at first and appreciated it less with thought because it was ill-conceived, poorly-scripted, half-arsed monkey-toss that cannot stand the critical weight of even passing consideration". Prometheus merits the latter statement.

Why?
Isn't that a bit like saying that you have to be able to play the piano to spot when someone else is playing it badly?

My surgeon botched my brain surgery.
When I complained he said "Well lets see you do better then, you great floppy faced mong."
to be fair, if we all followed the view that you can't criticise for anything you can't do yourself none of us could criticise anyone for anything other than his method of wanking
