Why do so many film buffs dislike Ridley Scott?

(At least in my experience).

This is Ridley's work:

1977 The Duellists

1979 Alien

1982 Blade Runner

1985 Legend

1987 Someone to Watch Over Me

1989 Black Rain

1991 Thelma & Louise

1992 1492: Conquest of Paradise

1996 White Squall

1997 G.I. Jane

2000 Gladiator

2001 Hannibal

Black Hawk Down

2003 Matchstick Men

2005 Kingdom of Heaven

2006 A Good Year

2007 American Gangster

2008 Body of Lies

2010 Robin Hood

2012 Prometheus

I've seen the bolded, and I'm looking forward to 2012 Prometheus.

I have to say that I like Ridley Scott. His work is generally average to above average entertainment and he does a good job with set pieces.

Alien and Blade Runner are stand-out science fiction pieces. Gladiator is one of the best sword & scandals. Kingdom of Heaven has a lot of beautiful footage.

Black Hawk Down is a favorite of the United States military, as it depicts urban combat operations more accurately than any other film.
