I wonder how much money they had to pay Harrison Ford to come back. He is very vocal about how he hated being a part of the original Blade Runner.

Harrison Ford is back? I guess his character is NOT a replicant, after all. (Or they’ll have to explain why he’s an old man.)

Sequels are rarely, if ever, as good as the original.

Yeah, the suits messed badly with the first film.

It still worked well, though. The theatrical release was not nearly as deep as the director’s cut, but there were some touches that were forced by time & budget constraints from the studio money guys that made it better to moviegoers.

Those touches were missing from the director’s cut, which is a shame, but the resulting movie was much more thought-provoking and less trite.

Even if Hollywood put out something that WASN’T a sequel, remake, or retarded crap they wouldn’t get my money because they’re all leftist enemies. I can’t think of any reason why we should support them in any way.

“Harrison Ford ... is very vocal about how he hated being a part of the original Blade Runner.”

For those who don’t know:

Ford went so far as attempting to sabotage the film.
When the studio insisted the theatrical release include a “Film Noir” detective-style voiceover, narrated by Ford, he deliberately did it badly with the intention of ruining the movie. He was _that_ vocal about hating it.

(Fortunately, subsequent releases dropped the voiceover, and the “Blade Runner: The Final Cut” version took extensive steps to clean up & complete the movie to perfect the director’s vision.)

Ford has really been on a serious cash grab tear these past few years.

"Blade Runner" is one of the only films where Harrison Ford's wooden acting actually worked well because it fit the character. I didn't know that he hated the movie, it's one of the small handful of sci-fi films out there that has some real substance.

Then he is a fool. The movie was genius and his performance was excellent.
