Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Larry L — 08 Oct 2017
The glowing critical reviews are exaggerated. Yes, it has good cinematography, but not great. The plot is cliche'. The script is shallow and does not allow for the character development the director seeks to achieve. And, lastly, the movie is longer than it needs to be. It's worth seeing, but it doesn't live up to the reviews.

Ok. My wife and I just went back and watched the original Blade Runner. Wow. The original is waaaay better. Better plot, better script, better direction, better pacing, better characters, more emotional weight, better in almost every way. I have a new appreciation for the original. That was a good movie that still holds up today. Any critic that is saying that Blade Runner 2049 may be better than the original needs to go back and actually watch the original again.
