It says it was directed by Ridley Scott, but this is NOT the Ridley Scott I have followed. Was he there in name only? The story is weak and in some cases it draws out on the most mundane parts to render it boring. It seems like someone has just taken some scenes and over a weekend parsed them together. this was an epic disappointment as a followup to a Great Film. turkey dinner vs hot dogs. Sooooo disappointed. Even the choice of the cast like a circus. At very best a 5 out of 10.
