Saw the original Blade Runner in 82’ and several alternate versions (usually a give away the film has problems).
It’s boring, depressing, lifeless, cold and did I write boring. It tries to be a sci-fi film noir mystery but there is no mystery and no surprises. Performances are phoned in, other than Sean Young, who is only in the film for ten-fifteen minutes.
Pay attention to the cinematography? That’s the problem. The film looks good (most Ridley Scott films have that)but there is no soul...I didn’t care about any of these characters, and apparently neither did Harrison Ford, or the audience.

Different strokes for different folks. For example, I despised “Seinfeld” and “Friends” which puts me many standard deviations from the norm.
I had no idea Ford didn’t like it. Just out of curiosity, got a link?
But the gross is/was rather low so I guess it is a niche movie (the 8.2 on IMDB is probably just fans).
