Prometheus is it worth the hype - early reviews are in -

Early reviews for Ridley Scotts "Prometheus" the highly anticipated prequel to 1979's "Alien" are starting to pore in , is it worth the cinema trip ?

The movie which stars Naoimi Rapace (the girl with the dragon tatoo) , Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) and Charlize Theron (the Italian job and Hancock) is believed to be a direct prequel to Alien the 1979 Box Office sensation which changed the Sci-Fi and Horror genre for ever . The Question though reamins will it be as big a hit in 2012  with a already over done franchise and an aging audience .

My guess , yes it will do very well and will probably be one of the summers biggest hits , the fact its a prequel to the original and not a sequel means its going to attract lots of fans who are looking for answers and it looks so good (at least visually from the trailers and cast) its going to have no problem attracting a new audience . Enough though let the critics be heared !

 The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy - 


"Ridley Scott's third venture into science-fiction, after Alien in 1979 and Blade Runner in 1982, won't become a genre benchmark like those classics despite its equivalent seriousness and ambition , But it does supply enough visual spectacle, tense action and sticky, slithery monster attacks to hit the spot with thrill-seeking audiences worldwide."


Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian -


"It is a muddled, intricate, spectacular film, but more or less in control of all its craziness and very watchable, There are also some shrewd and witty touches, and one terrifically creepy performance by Michael Fassbender ."


Mark Adams of Screen Daily -


"While Prometheus has some striking chilling moments it never plays the all-out horror card, instead developing the science alongside the action and punctuating the film with moments that jolt and amaze, Prometheus should thrill, challenge and provoke audiences ready for (this) signature brand of intelligent and visceral film-making."


Judging by these reviews id give it 4 stars before even seeing it !
