Film reviewers over time have become self-described art critics, more and more disconnected from the audience. It's not like the good old days when Bosley Crowther would tell it to you straight. So, I basically don't care what the critics think.

I didn't go to Blade Runner because the previews looked boring, all CGI stuff. Besides, it won't be long until it's out on Redbox or Netflix.

“Film reviewers over time have become self-described art critics, more and more disconnected from the audience.”

indeed. film reviewers basically write reviews for each other, not potential audience members. they each try to outdo the others with obscure references and cute phrasing. not to mention that their primary criteria as to whether a movie is worthy is how PC it is.

“I didn’t go to Blade Runner because the previews looked boring, all CGI stuff.”

the original is one of my all time favorites, and I figured this remake was going to be a complete bomb, relying primarily on CGI instead of story, character, acting and dialog, which is the case with pretty much all scifi and comic book based movies.

“Besides, it won’t be long until it’s out on Redbox or Netflix.”

only problem is that a bad movie doesn’t improve when it can be watched later for “free”. a bomb is a bomb is a bomb.
