Don't even bother making it if he hasn't, I say. He was a redeeming factor in the first film.

FOTR trumps all, true.
BUT... The Hobbit vs. TTT/ROTK = Sophie's Choice
You've got to give BOTFA another chance. Azog's first ranks of orcs approaching the Lonely Mountain: actors in make-up just like the Last Alliance orcs. Dale battle: all human vs. live orc actors just like Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith.

Re: Prometheus Sequel (March 2016)
Hobbit battles got nothing on Pelennor fields/Minas Tirith or friggin' Helms Deep. Theoden's speeches alone are more compelling than anything in the Hobbit movies.
The tense build up before the Rohan archer accidentally lets an arrow go into an Uruk-Hai'a neck, the little touches of realism like the dude with the missing eye ball, the pounding Uruk-Hai theme as the latters spring up on the walls and the crossbowmen kill off Elves and the Berserker Uruk-Hai jump onto the wall, etc. Nothing like it. Hobbit had wild hogs doe . . .

"Where is the Horse and the Rider" is probably my favorite part of TTT. I need to watch that one again soon.
But regarding Hobbit battles vs. Helm's Deep or Minas Tirith, I count them equal but different. I think Helm's Deep is like Braveheart with organized resistance against rank and file troops brilliantly done. Dale to me is like Hadley's Hope's last stand against the Alien Hive. I find the Hobbit forces of evil to be more hellish and nightmarish than the Uruk-hai and Mordor forces. And you've got those nightmare creatures attacking a much more "civilian" population which kind of adds to the unpleasant vibe. So I really like both dynamics.

I know he thinks the Star Wars PT is better than the OT.
I could never ever say such BS!
Have you seen that nine hours long "Making of Brometheus" documentary?
Scott sucked vine like a hungry Phuket tranny every time he was on screen...
Re: Prometheus Sequel (March 2016)
Okay I'll bite, what is Brometheus? I've never understood the reference.

Re: Prometheus Sequel (March 2016)
The first movie was like an infomercial for bad decisions. Also, why would the medical pod help Shaw? Wasn't it only programmed to work with men? Ugh, that movie is so bad. I was so excited for it too. And now that Ridley wants to continue this story line in the same universe as the Xeno's and not even use them is mind boggling. Its like hes afraid to use the Xeno's again in fear of screwing those up too.

I think he just wants to leave Xenos for Alien and Aliens, and do all this fan fiction level monsters prior.

fair enough. I just won't be fooled by him or his marketing team with this movie.

She told it she was a guy who needed a foreign object removed from his abdomen.

Re: Prometheus Sequel (March 2016)
And wouldn't it notice that that "guy" had a uterus and female reproductive organs? wouldn't the pod want to have those removed as well?
And she did remarkably well running around with those staples in her stomach.

And with all that running, no stable ripped itself out

movie magic. But in her defense, that space suit she put on was very tight. Maybe that held everything in place.

Why would it do anything more than what it was instructed to do?

NM. I guess I always looked at the machine should have known there was a lot more wrong with that "man" than something in the abdomen.
For your sake, I hope the movie turns out. I'll move on.
