I was skeptical of the amount of praise bestowed upon this movie from early reviews. (There was a good amount of hype for Barbarian and I didn't enjoy it as much I'm pleased to say, I left the theater after weapons, very satisfied and my girlfriend loved it so much she wants to return to see it again!

Halfway through I estimated to myself, this has to have a strong ending and it didn't disappoint.

Weapons is far from being the first movie to use character pov to lay out the story but it was perfect for this movie.

A strong cast commands the creative superior, suspense that powers Weapons into a box office hit,that backs up its hype!

Just got back from a packed theatre that I shared laugh after laugh with. Instead of retreading over the classic Naked Gun legacy, this film builds upon it. A pleasure of a comedy filled with the kind of offbeat, hilarity films have missed. Liam Neeson was an excellent choice to continue the legacy of Frank Drebin and police squad!

Somehow I never saw the original Blade runner but was fortunate enough to catch a double feature last night enjoy the original and see 2049 right after without waiting decades for the follow up. 2049 is true to it's predecessor and expands upon it masterfully. Tie ins to the original are not forced but ever-present and enjoyable. The second and third acts are filled with suspense and more action than the first. The film opens with action then begins to lay groundwork for the rising suspense and climax to come. While there are a good amount of cameos no performance is wasted or unnecessary. I should point out that this is not a Harrison Ford movie alone it is a Blade runner movie. An excellent one at that and while he is not the star his moments on screen are perfectly timed in his return to the iconic role as Deckard. A long run time was not discouraging but rather necessary to reveal the complex Sci Fi world that is Blade Runner.
