yeah prometheus was also really bad. I'm not even mad that he made the movie at all, I still don't get why he had to force it into the alien universe.

If this would be a standalone sci-fi movie I wouldn't bother at all. It still would be a bad movie imho but at least it wouldn't shit all over a great horror franchise with all this unnecessary nonsense nobody asked for.

But then to direct a sequel and to ignore nearly everything he set up in the first bad movie just to center the story about a crazy android and also to force a bad alien remake in the last 20 minutes...this still leaves me speechless. That crucial story elements were also missing from the movie and instead were put on youtube is the cherry on this pile of shit.
