    Fans routinely asked that no one make a Blade Runner sequel too. Sometimes fans don’t know what they’re talking about.

      I feel blade runner was good. The original was better but fans were excited for the second one.

        Background: I only watched the original before watching the sequel.

        IMO, the sequel is better.

        I felt like it took everything good about the original and improved upon it.

        My suspicion is that people who prefer the original are nostalgic for it.

          Meh, I thought the second would have been a great movie if it was 20-30 minutes shorter. My god some of those scenes drag on.

          The first was ground breaking for its time. I don’t think it is nostalgia (although there is probably some) so much as context. A lot of the things that had people’s jaws on the floor are commonplace now. It’s hard to recreate that illusion especially if you’re comparing it to modern movies.

      I enjoyed the new Blade Runner, but it wasn’t anywhere nearly as good as the original. Also, big difference between a sequel and a reboot

      BR2049 is shit. A mix of uninspired stuff, nice concept art and fan service, with a bad CGI Rachel.

      I love Villeneuve’s work elsewhere, but there he really fucked up.

        I completely disagree with it being shit, but your complaints still have some merit. I just think the end product overcomes those flaws by a mile.

          Except for it being called Blade Runner and not striking any resemblance to the original.

          If it came out as it’s own thing I would have called it a good movie, although a bit bland and with poorly written characters, but as a sequel to Blade Runner, no way.

        You are shit. I base this in the fact that you are shit. Please don’t debate this because I will not be able to defend. In closing fuck you and have a nice day.
