Rolling Stone review has a major spoiler in it too.

Honestly unless you don't read any or seemingly most of the reviews you're going to find out what the spoiler is. It seems like such an intrinsic part of the movie that you can't discuss the movie without bringing it up.

 

[JB1981]

Yesssssss

 

[Trojita]

Great reviews. Can't wait to see it.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Hype!

I need to watch the first one before looking at this though.

 

[More_Badass]

whoa fuck, that guardian review has a gigantic spoiler that i did not know about.

To be honest, it seems less of a gigantic spoiler and rather similar to how the game Soma handles its plot. In that such details is the basic premise of the story, not some kind of big twist, is revealed early, and the story just moves on from there and explores the ramifications

 

[Shadybiz]

Oh wow...not going to read any of the reviews, because I want to know as little as possible going in (have only seen one trailer), but it looks like this is going to be pretty awesome. Can't wait to see it! The original is one of my favorites!

 

[scoobs]

Holy shit its amazing?

 

[Prompto]

Chicago Tribune - 3 stars

ScreenCrush - "Blade Runner 2049 is better than the original"

 

[Atraveller]

It's happening!

 

[Kayhan]

I am going to need this jacket. I can rock it.

 

[BronsonLee]

I guess I should watch the first one before I watch this one huh

 

[Inferno313]

I guess I should watch the first one before I watch this one huh

it's one of my all-time favorites. you should check it out.

 

[Kayhan]

ScreenCrush - "Blade Runner 2049 is better than the original"

I don't know how to feel about that statement.

 

[strafer]

I am going to need this jacket. I can rock it.

Nah! If you see Gosling rock something chances you can is zero.

 

[More_Badass]

I guess I should watch the first one before I watch this one huh

Finally watched it yesterday and it was fantastic. It has a sense of realism and place that most movies don’t come close to capturing. It’s a small story among a much larger world

 

[Kayhan]

Nah! If you see Gosling rock something chances you can is zero.

I can rock it!

That's my feelings too as it seems like it's explored in detail throughout the entire film.

 

[DirtyCase]

Yissss

The Final Cut version or bust.

 

[chefbags]

Yissss

The Final Cut version or bust.

Yep. The final cut version is up for rent on YouTube for like $3.

 

[True Savior]

I am going to need this jacket. I can rock it.

 

[JB1981]

But how's the music?

 

[BeeDog]

Damn, hype levels rising dangerously fast. I like the first movie but I'm not a super-fan of it, but I love all of Denis' movies so far so really wanna like this.

right. i fully expect we'll find out in the opening moments of the movie, but still kinda wish i hadn't read it.

 

[Sulik2]

I absolutely hate the original Blade Runner, but this is some pretty high praise. Anyone review it yet who disliked the original? Torn on whether to see it or not.

 

[NumberThree]

Happy to see the reviews are positive. I'll watch the original this weekend in preparation for this.

 

[Jarmel]

I find it surprising how many reviews are praising Ford's work in this.

 

[Rehynn]

Not reading these for fear of spoilers, but any word on Ford's performance? Is he phoning it in or does he appear to actually give a shit about the movie?

I find it surprising how many reviews are praising Ford's work in this.

Oh, lol, great timing.

If you thought Ridley Scott’s original was a genre masterpiece, you’ll find much to appreciate here. But if you’re like me (and Roger Ebert, for what it’s worth) and think the first film offers a barebones story and paper-thin characters, you’ll be disappointed that the extra money and extra running time merely means a more drawn-out mystery with little urgency or momentum.

The Roger Ebert that put Blade Runner on his Great Movies list?

[Ibuki]

Did anyone not believe in Denis?

Fools.

 

[number11]

I remember reading a quote from Denis saying it’s his best film.. looks like he actually did it.

 

[Trago]

I ain't reading SHIT! But I'm glad impressions were great. And now it seems reviewed are great too.

 

[Anth0ny]

"Instant Classic 3.5/4"

lmao

 

[Falchion]

I need this to be great.

 

[MetalliCabombination]

son.....all i know is that its a great 3 hour movie and the trailers show nothing. hyyypppe

 

[aravuus]

I need to get a 4k bluray player and watch the original in UHD glory before this hits the theaters here

Oh hey it's rusty from facepunch

 

[Kenzodielocke]

"Instant Classic 3.5/4"

While I wouldn't deem a movie I have just seen as a classic, a movie becomes a classic with time, a classic also doesn't mean flawless.

 

[MysteryQuesadilla]

I'm tempering my expectations since now gleaming reviews are coming in. I really love the original (well...directors cut or whatever) and I'm sort of getting fatigued by rehashes and sequels.

 

[jett]

I find it surprising how many reviews are praising Ford's work in this.

Oh now I know to mistrust all these reviews!

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Denis Villeneuve is the best motherfucker currently working. If him or Del Toro win the Oscar next year, I think I'm gonna cry like a damn baby.

 

[kaskade]

I wasn't really expecting this to be bad based off the talent behind it but I am so relieved that it's just good but seems great. I'm relieved.

 

[strafer]

Get dennis working on a Memento sequel stat.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Oh now I know to mistrust all these reviews!

Working with the Goose get's even the elder people motivated.

 

[More_Badass]

Fucking hype SFX magazine review https://twitter.com/sfxmagazine/status/913755665960771586

... it’s difficult to imagine anyone – even Ridley Scott – making a better Blade Runner sequel

.

 

[Inferno313]

Get dennis working on a Memento sequel stat.

I mean, I guess this is a weird thing to say in a thread about a seemingly excellent Blade Runner sequel.

But I really, really see no reason for a Memento sequel.


---

Why are people shitting on Ford? He was great, and didn't phone it in, in The Force Awakens, why is it such a shock that he'd also be great here?

 

[Chained Prometheus]

While I wouldn't deem a movie I have just seen as a classic, a movie becomes a classic with time, a classic also doesn't mean flawless.

Just like the original Blade Runner.

 

[jack_package_200]

Get dennis working on a Memento sequel stat.

Nah, no way.
