I was strongly reminded in the theater of the theatrical cut of Kingdom of Heaven. The movie was good, but it felt like there was a lot that got ripped out for time without any thought as to how it would affect the story.
And then yesterday, I read that Ridley Scott is releasing an extended cut - 20 minutes longer - on Blu-Ray.
So I'm going to reserve any and all judgment about Prometheus until I see the extended cut, since his KoH DC turned a movie I loved to bitch about* into one of my favorite movies of all time.
*Because it had so much potential that was wasted because the soul of the movie had been gutted, not because I thought it was bad. Which is pretty much how I feel about Prometheus.
