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.
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.
A film that was routinely asked not to be made by fans is shit, suprise.
The Crow worked due to Brandon Lee, his father’s legacy, and being the 90s. It was a collection of events that made an instant cult classic film.
Brandon Lee was also a good actor, and had most of the good lines in the film.
“And I say, ‘I am dead, and I move.’”
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.

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.
