does the ghost of original Blade Runner haunts Blade Runner 2049? “Blade Runner 2049 will be one of the great disappointments of 2017. Weekend box office was just $31.5 million, about half of what it should have been. What went wrong? The only thing I can say is, October is not an Oscar month. With an 89 on Rotten Tomatoes, falling slightly from a 98, I thought more would have been made of this stunning film. But there was no New York premiere, no NY hoopla, and in LA Warner Bros. waited so long for a premiere that they got knocked out by the tragedy in Las Vegas. So the west coast premiere went off the record with red carpet. Also, just Monday morning quarterbacking, there might have been a week of the original “Blade Runner” in theaters or on platforms so the audience didn’t feel lost. A lot of people felt that if they didn’t know the first movie they wouldn’t get this one. So only hardcore fans went to see 2049. What a shame. You don’t need to see the original to enjoy “2049.” You can go and enjoy it for what it is. Denis Villeneuve has made his own masterpiece, with a great performance by Ryan Gosling and and amazing cinematography by Roger Deakins." http://www.showbiz411.com/2017/10/08...-huge-build-up |

I always get Blade Runner confused with Brazil.
Only slightly trolling. |

Agreed. I did standard and it was perfectly glorious and immersive. Great sound, great cinematography. I think 3-D would actually fuck the movie up. Go see it though. Not even Jared Leto could tarnish this thing. It’s just MOMENTOUS. Seriously. It is an epic and a half. |

Here's a good question. I can't be arsed to read through 1085 pages of replies to see if it's been asked before.
What movies were big at the theaters, but in hindsight, are generally considered to be stinkers now? Trying to counter naysayers that think Blade Runner 2049 is only as good as the box office totals.

Titanic? Avatar? Rush Hour? Fast and the Furious? Spider-Man? ALL the Star Wars prequels? Every Jurassic Park movie other than Jurassic Park? Batman V. Superman was HUUUGE at the box office, but look at that. Fury Road didn’t really become a blockbuster until it got the Oscar nom, then it returned to theaters and became a “classic.” Blade Runner 2049 was objectively amazing form any and all perspectives. Yes, Gosling plays a quiet guy. He doesn’t always, but he did here. But the character was far from one dimensional or mute. This wasn’t “Kid” from Drive all over again. People are idiots. I haven’t seen such an elegant film in the theater in ages. |

^^^
Also, that position would mean that the original Blade Runner isn’t actually that good. It was a hit, sure, but not a smash. It wasn’t Star Wars. So anyone arguing that the BRILLIANT new film is bad because it’s not making Avengers dough would have to apply that same reasoning to the original. How much did Memento make? Batman Begins? No Country for Old Men? Drive? Fucking Drive ass Drive?! HOW MUCH DID FUCKING DRIVE MAKE, NAYSAYERS?!!! WHAT ABOUT EX-MACHINA? Fuck them. |

I actually like Titanic as an every now and then thing, and that's just fine.

That is just fine! But it does qualify, right? I mean, it made tons of dough (still more than any movie ever?) and even won Best Picture, but it’s generally considered pretty crap. Not judging you or the movie, just trying to provide ammunition for your noble battle against Blade Runner 2049 naysayers who suck and are stupid. |

Nah, Titanic as a film is just fine. There's some good stuff in that and James Cameron actually did a good job of a film that could have easily been an absolute mess. If you'd said Pearl Harbour you'd have a point.
