please let your rage flow in this thread so that we may all laugh 
I think I just woke up my neighbour from how hard and how long I laughed at this picture... still going

Oh, they're making a new Judge Dredd?
I thought he loved that movie. 
I'm pretty sure that's the new Robocop
*edit: or are you trolling and I just got trolled 
haha yeah i think he got you 
I'm having a hard time hating this. But I am not in touch with what I was supposed to expect.
Sorry to disappoint you, PKC, but despite having no expectations whatsoever for this thing to be any good, I'm not really angry about it. The Robocop universe has long been desecrated by the shitty sequels and that god-awful kids TV show they made out of it in the '90s, so this remake is merely another quick thrust inside the rotting vagina of a dead horse. And as an '80s sci-fi action fan, I've pretty much gone numb to this kind of thing anyway: the Star Wars prequels, Terminator Salvation, Predators, The Thing remake, The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, fucking Prometheus... it's simply a fact of life that if you have any childhood favourites from this era, they will inevitably tarnished by some shitty remake or sequel.
God, Prometheus was fucking trash.
I just saw Prometheus a few weeks ago and was simply appalled. I shouldn't have been so surprised, though. As you said, it's inevitable.
There's no way to tell if the film's going to suck or not from this picture. I don't even think the costume is ridiculous; it can work.
Dredd showed these new adaptations can be good or even great, plus Padilha's track record is solid. Nothing to worry about so far.
No matter how it turns out, I'm quietly confident that you'll still pen an over-reaching essay on how the film is a masterful critique of laissez-faire capitalist ideology.
Awww man, im seriously disappointed by your lack of disappointment system-j!

I still don't get how everyone here hates Prometheus so much. I wasn't alive when the original Alien came out, or even for the James Cameron sequel, but I though it was fun. The plot is funky but all the special effects and the cinematography made it a really cool film to watch IMHO.
Fuck off.
I particularly enjoyed the complete lack of scares and the b grade storyline.
You know what I really liked about Prometheus? How much of a heroine that woman is. You know, the fit one. She performed a self-abortion and still exhibited a performance worth of display in the Olympics right after she closed the stitches. You can almost tell it's not real, but a part of you still wants to believe that could happen.
She'd be the fittest heroine ever!

I hope all the favorite things from your childhood turn into money making corporate ventures, Jack. You're gonna be a very grumpy and bitter old man. 
Pretty sure he's not really mad about that so much as that movie is just a festering turd made up to look good through eye candy.
It was horrible.
So you admit it looks good? Sometimes that's all you need. I'll pop in a Scorsese or a Fincher if I want a story, to be honest.
You're right actually. You've just made me realise a silly assumption I jumped to when I watched the film. I said at the time that the script of Prometheus was an absolute insult to the audience's intelligence. But I realise now that I was wrong. Some people are simply too stupid to have their intelligence insulted.
Thanks for helping me reach an understanding of why films like Prometheus continue to get made, Kenny.
Dude, I'm just saying. Sometimes I just wanna see some cool shit on the screen. I'm not calling it a cult classic or anything. Get a grip.
I would assume he just dislikes you.
