If you want to see it go see it. why are you waiting for the approval of everyone here? its a whole whopping 10 bucks for a ticket.

Yeah that's part of the problem.

@Alchemist - go see it. You'll have plenty to bitch about, but if you're talking about it, it at least succeeds at some level.
It's deeply flawed, but I wouldn't say it sucks.

Saw it last night when tickets when half-off. There are some moments where it might help to turn the brain off but I can't say any of the gripes I had kept me from enjoying it, not by a long shot.

What would Weyland need obstetrical forceps for?

Right, because operation rooms come ONLY equipped with the exact tools in the exact quantities needed because no unexpected emergencies ever arise.
Which is not so different from my original point.
The robo-surgeon told Shaw that it was not configured for female patients yet it could do c-sections and had obstetrical forceps and it was installed by and in the quarters of, a female character with a strong will to survive (but lacking the wits to run perpendicular to a rolling menace). The whole script is riddled with lazy writing gaff-taping SFX extravaganzas together.
A fantabulous 3D Imax mess. It needs to be witnessed in all its six-storey glory but don't go for the humanity.

To be honest - they do. You don't use them for anything else, ever, because you have specialist equipment for that and (more specifically) they are specialist equipment themselves and only useful for one thing.
I figured it was more a symbolic thing because it was a "birth", artistic license if you like.
But haters gonna hate. meh

Diminishing the vast amount of gripes people have with Prometheus to "haters gonna hate" is tragically retarded.

It's a lot less retarded than answering/explaining a massive list of simple things that people don't get. The amount of nitpicking, a lot of it because stuff wasn't spoonfed (and why should it be?), I've seen re: this film is on a whole new level.
There are umpteen examples in this very thread. If people are going to whine about a set of forceps when it's clearly a symbolic thing then "haters gonna hate" is all the explanation they deserve.
Hey guys, why did Weyland not want to grow old and die huuur?
Really, that's the level it's got to. The film isn't perfect but people have grabbed the sweater thread and run with it.

If you're referring to my whinge in particular: I think noting that the script treats Weyland as a superfluous character written with all the depth of a puddle -- and not enough that it pulls the trigger on the immortality cliché, it then references OZYMANDIAS, SO *DEEP* -- when he's the primary driver for two of the movie's sub-plots (David, the entire goddamn mission) is a valid fucking criticism, duuurr.
