This is definitely the movie I'm most eagerly anticipating, I'm just hoping Ridley Scott doesn't screw it up. He's definitely been making some sh!t recently.
No he hasn't. American Gangster may have been lacking but it was by no means shit. Body of Lies, Robin Hood and A good year were all good movies. They may not be masterpieces but they're still class. I'll take, A good year, Body of lies and Robin hood over GI Jane and Hannibal any day.

robin Hood started out pretty damned good but it utterly fell apart by the end of the film IMO.
He just tossed as much crap on screen as he could..

The D-day like invasion scene which completely re-used shots we've already seen in Saving Private Ryan.
The tribe of lost boys which were part of some odd sub-plot that looked like it MIGHT go somewhere but never got fleshed out so it ended up just looking like an even odder plot device to get Robin Hood out to the woods, as if he and his other long term soldiers couldn't do that on their own.
Merian showing up to the final confrontation WITH said lost boys in full plait armor and chain mail ala Joan of Arc even though she really had NO place there fighting the French.
The mass of English cheering on Robin Hood at the end of the battle as if he was the essential key to victory even though he had only assumed any sort of leadership over what little command he took to Sherwood that very morning.
King John in the fray of the battle.. Friar Tuck(?!) in the fray of the battle.
The glossed over script that had John identifying Robon Hood even though we never got to see at what point and just HOW Hood was found out.
Yeah... it had a lot of potential and started out nice enough, but the end was a mishmash of convoluted story telling and filmaking IMO.

I get that, I just think it's a very weak storytelling device IMO.

Again I understand the jealousy.. but that didn't show how John found him out.

Is revealing an origin of the Aliens a good idea? I mean, yeah the books and comics certainly explored the possiiblity they could have been engineered but wouldn't some of the mystery be lost? The very thing that made them cool was the thought that they could be a freak of nature, not made in a laboratory somewhere.
