    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.

      Fans routinely asked that no one make a Blade Runner sequel too. Sometimes fans don’t know what they’re talking about.

          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.

            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.

        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.

            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.

          You are shit. I base this in the fact that you are shit. Please don’t debate this because I will not be able to defend. In closing fuck you and have a nice day.
