This is damn good. Yet, this myth persists that critics panned it.<br /><br />"According to Scott, the traditional xenomorph alien will not appear in this film, despite hints to its origins in the previous one."<br /><br />The xenomorphs were never intended to be in Prometheus sequels - Ridley Scott was clear about this even before the first film's release.<br /><br />Prometheus was always intended to be a jumping off into another set of stories set in the same universe as the Alien franchise.<br /><br />But the xenomorphs were only going to appear in the first movie as a cross-over bridge between the two sets of stories.<br /><br />Again this was made clear by Ridley Scott before the movie's release, but perhaps poorly communicated by Fox in its marketing.<br /><br />To my mind, this is the crux of how Prometheus has been unfairly painted as a failure, as people went into it with the wrong expectations.<br /><br />I loved Prometheus and three-quarters of film critics got it. Can't wait for the sequel.
