Suspension of disbelief only works when the world presented is believable and the story interesting. I find myself able to suspend belief on Nolan films, for example, because of their engrossing story and style.
With your example of Prometheus, no, the flick is not bad because of that scene, but the scene is an indication of the overall laziness of the plot. All the nit-picking, as you put it, is because there is nothing else to hold on to, which is not true of Alien at least (I don't particularly like Aliens).
- EdwardCoffin 9y ago> no, the flick is not bad because of that scene The thing is, most of the criticisms of Prometheus that I have read cite that scene as a reason for its purported badness, which is why I drew comparisons to scenes in movies that are widely regarded as good, and pointed out that those scenes are not criticized.
