Let me start by saying that this is not the worst movie ever made, I think the people who worked on it were actually trying. However, if not for James Wans' direction, this movie would have a been a 2/10. It is a good looking movie, and it is fun, but it's just bad. The script probably being the main problem. Too many characters to introduce, too many storylines going on at once, and frankly just not very exciting. Super hero movies seem to feel the need to throw a joke into every scene but it is just distracting and not at all funny most of the time. How people are giving this a 10/10, which in my opinion should be reserved for only the best movies ever made, I really do not know. The acting is ok at best, but i still cringed at the line delivery in some of the scenes. I'm not trying to hate on this movie, just trying to make sure you don't go into this movie with high expectations like I did, becasue you will be let down. One more thing, the tones throughout the movie are very jumpy which leads to feeling like you're watching two different movies and it can be very irritating.

I believe that some of the people who worked on this film may have actually been trying, and good on them, but this is just lazy film making. It feels so fake and I watched it with my 4 year old cousin and she was bored the entire time. It gets it's points across in the most on the nose way possible, and it is honestly just awful. I don't want to slander anyone who makes movies and is trying to create art, but this movie should not have been made. Whoever had the most creative control should be ashamed.

This movie is a perfect example of what a sequel should be. It takes the themes and ideas of the original while also improving upon them. I have Blade Runner: 2049 as one of those rare movies that actually is better than the original, and I love the original. This is a love letter to all good movies and proves that it is worth taking your time and being patient. The story isn't very complicated but i think that works for this movie. It gives you some of the most beautiful imagery i have ever seen in a movie. It has good acting, perfect direction, and the score is out of this world. Blade runner is one of the best movies not only of our generation, but of all time.
