They spent way too much on it. I know they probably had to open up the checkbook to bring in Harrison Ford, but they didn't need to make it a $170 million movie.
This is a disappointing sequel, disappointing cause I expected more from a movie directed by Denis Villeneuve.
I'm not a fan of the original movie, but at least that one doesn't have useless fill in characters and money wasting shots like this one does.
A movie that is 2 hours 43 minutes long including credits could have been cut 20 minutes shorter and it would have been better.
Why is forgettable villainess even a villain?
Rick Deckard is promised in the trailers, and he's in the movie for less than an hour. Other characters that are shown in trailers are either brief appearances or forgettable.
This movie is significantly more disappointing than Prison Break season 3 (unresolved plot points, poor twists, deaths that are retconned in season 4, etc...).
One saving grace I can give it is being a bit more memorable than Ghost in the Shell of the same year.
5/10

Did you watch a different movie or something?So this is what no fap does to someone. It drives them to spit on a modern classic.
So this is what no fap does to someone. It drives them to spit on a modern classic. Oh the humanity. I hope God (Villeneuve) has mercy on your bald soul.

Does the good movie involve Joe wanting to talk for Deckard to shoot him, and punch him in the face repeatedly until he tires and finally acts like talking was the idea he wanted to go with? Yes?I think we all did. We watched the one that was good.
That question did not make sense to me, but I watched the version where Deckard didn't want to talk, so "Joe" let him tire himself out trying to beat him up until he realized it was fruitless and therefore relented to talking for lack of better options.Does the good movie involve Joe wanting to talk for Deckard to shoot him, and punch him in the face repeatedly until he tires and finally acts like talking was the idea he wanted to go with?

I was bored stiff when I did not shake my head in confusion. And given the nature of BN's reply to my first post I'm less willing to give it a try.And yep, the version I watched was a great movie. You should check it out sometime.
LOL I'm just joshin' ya Aziz. No movie's gonna be everyone's cup of tea, and Blade Runner in general has always had a rather niche appeal. Nothing wrong with hating it.The movie made no sense to me.

I don't think a movie need be perfect to be great. And I am one who thinks 2049 is not only great, but greater then the original. But if you don't agree, that is totally cool.
I really liked the movie. Not gonna lie, I expected it to love it more because I watched Arrival a few months ago and it's now one of my favorite movie.
The visuals are stunning and for once, I was glad that I wasn't distracted by the green screen or CGI. Usually, I can always notice that stuff.
I loved the plot and I legit thought "Joe" was Deckard kid. I guess I was disappointed because despite the movie being long, only "Joe" got to have a proper arc.
The female characters were one dimensional. You got the villain with little backstory or pupose, the boss, the 2 innocent girls Ana and Joi who were quite and had no real arcs.
To quote a critic I agreed with: "here are a lot of female characters in Blade Runner 2049, but none of them have anything that resembles individuality; there's no want or need outside of K and Deckard's storylines, no story arcs to start them in one place and take them to another by the film's end. For me, that's the film's real problem: women are present in the narrative, while simultaneously absent. Blade Runner 2049 has the illusion of women, with nothing solid for them to do. It makes its female characters feel as hollow as holograms."
The opposite of Agent K. I loved his arc and I loved Gosling performance. Heck, I was quite suprised by Ford performance as well. He was so much better than he was in TFA.
