    Ridley basically said the original aliens are all played out and he won't go there again. That's not at all what I was expecting when he started this trilogy....especially with the way "Prometheus" ended. I have to say I thought there was much more potential to the evolution of the original aliens storyline that has been missed out on. Instead, we're left with the engineers and this "where did humans come from and why are the engineers trying to destroy them?" storyline. That's only mildly interesting to me. I thought this whole thing was based around the aliens and now were completely off of that it seems. I guess part (or a lot) of it has to do with H.R. Giger no longer being around and the alien concepts were all his work. But, I guess whatever this sci-fi trilogy will be...it is better than no trilogy at all. It's still not nearly as bad as a lot of one-off sci-fi films (take your pick) that have come out over the years.

    Avengers is highly overrated. The only difference was "omfg iron man and hulk are smashing nyc together!".

    Characters were better tho.

    Dude i just watched the last Riddick film and thought it was pretty damn good. Better than Chronicles and closer to Pitch Black. Looking forward to the next one.

    I enjoyed Prometheus and am looking forward to the 2nd one. But am disappointed to hear there won't be elements of the xenomorph. Those ties & mystery are a big part of the attraction. I think it is a mistake to not include elements of that.

    That movie was awful.

    Only actor worth a damn was the guy who played Falcon.

    I didn't like the scorpion mutants.

    Chronicles of Riddick had that dude who was super fast. Less generic foe.

    I read that the during Prometheus, at the beginning, that was an oval spaceship and on the planet it was that ring shaped spaceship.

    So the oval ship may have the masters or creators of the engineers.

    I am sorry I do not remember everything about the movie. I just remember hating it.

    Maybe plot hole was not the correct term (maybe it was I just do not remember), but I know I hated the character development (since there was none) and I hated the stupidity of the characters.
