Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It is not a perfect film and has it's more than fair share of flaws, so anyone who has a high regard of Ridley Scott will ultimately end up disappointed with it. Scott raised his own bars with Alien and Blade Runner, so it's definitely a letdown by Scott's standards.
I can only hope that somewhere out there, a longer, uncut edition of the film exists which explains a bit about these flaws. Most of the deleted scenes do give a better idea of the film (I suggest everyone who hasn't watched the film yet, to please do so with the deleted scenes) so I am guessing a lot of stuff got left on the editing table, or was simply not filmed from the original script treatment of Spaihts, for fear of making the film unnecessarily too long. (Fox would never have approved it, no idea how much Scott was involved this time).
They better redeem themselves with Paradise. Or Scott will lose any remaining credibility, much like John Carpenter today.
