This was my review, declined due to a report of 'abuse'! Simply Jaw Dropping...! Scott's "Grand Mythology" continues..., 13 May 2017 (This review was deleted by IMDb based on an abuse report filed by another user) (contains possible spoilers) I have to confess that I have always been a fan of Prometheus, and it was only after I watched and loved it that I started to read all the negative reviews about it. Ridley obviously was well aware of its mixed reception, and with Covenant I think he has absolutely outdone himself. The film is magnificent, from its beautiful cinematography, to its imaginative vistas. The Engineer's city is inspired, sort of "Neo Greco-Roman" which is how I imagined it, and fits in neatly with the Prometheus mythos. And what can I say about Fassbender? To say he shines in this role is an understatement (he was also superb in Prometheus IMHO) – everything is in this film galvanises some of the concepts Ridley was trying to get across which confused or went over people's heads in the first chapter. But, it's not simply an exposition vehicle! The Covenant (the beautiful scene with the solar sails), the Jugganaut, the creatures are all rendered superbly on screen – this movie really is a work of art. Maybe in time, Prometheus will be re-appraised by some of its detractors, both these films are multi-layered, and demand repeated viewings. Ridley, you are a true visionary, and although the term "Genius" gets banded about all too often, you are one of Cinema's greats, up there with Kubrick et al. Summary, an outstanding movie which breaks new ground whilst maintaining intelligent story arcs – can't wait to buy on Blue Ray, and can hardly wait for Alien:Awakening!! 10/10 unreservedly!!

Don't know much about the user reviews in IMDB and how the process works, but there are plenty of Prometheus/Alien Covenant "haters" about there, so someone probably just wanted to troll and reported this as "abuse".

I think the IMDB Administrators should allow my review to be posted, and should investigate who falsely reported me, tarnishing my reputation on the site

UPDATE: I've re-submitted it again, let's hope some troll doesn't cause it to be unfairly rejected again!

Hi James,

There is nothing wrong with this review. It looks like the report was mistakenly approved. I have gone ahead and re-instated the review and we have taken internal steps to avoid this happening again.
