In reply to Awesome Welles. Started fresh, did they? A reboot. Like Josh Trank's Fantastic 4.

In reply to Blues Hammer. They banned most of the regulars for similar reasons.

In reply to Awesome Welles. Thanks. Didn't know. You know they banned me for the most innocuous comment. Right after Harry was slapped with the sexual harassment charge I commented that I never trusted him, not since his glowing review for Armageddon. And they banned me!

WTF? Not telling the audience beforehand of the twists and turns is considered a box office liability? I don’t understand. I myself was overjoyed that I knew nothing of the BR 2049 plot when I saw the film. I learned from this film that I should stop reading reviews and watching trailers altogether. It’s much better to experience the film and let it unfold as the filmmakers intended.” I have a perfectly sound reason as to why BR 2049 wasn’t a global hit: Most of the population are morons who flock to Fast And Furious sequels.

In reply to Jonathan. I will have a look, but even if they are fantastic, that wont change my opinion of BR2049 or Arrival.

In reply to Mex5150. Review "Prisoners," "Sicario" and "Incendies" and then apologize.

In reply to Jonathan. The only other Villeneuve movie I've seen was the truly horrible Arrival, at least BR2049 wasn't as bad as that, but I'm assuming you are probably including that in those 'home runs'. Arrival proves more than anything what I said about his only talent is is making stupid people think they are clever, perhaps that's why you like him so much ;^/

In reply to Mex5150. Once again, ummmm, no. He's one of the best filmmakers working right now. You missed the movie. And even if it was mediocre, he's got three or four home runs under his belt already. Respect.

I’m dreading his version of Dune, I love the books and am desperate for a good TV/movie version, This hack isn’t the man for the job though. Blade Runner 2049 was actually really disappointing. As just a film it was /OK/, but as a sequel to Blade Runner, it was terrible. There were some nice in-jokes and references, but overall low-brow junk masquerading as high-brow gold (it was directed by Villeneuve, so I really shouldn’t have expected better, the only thing he’s good at is making stupid people think they are clever). Everything seemed forced and unnatural. The plot was trite and cliched, and everything was very predictable. Totally a wasted opportunity ;^<

In reply to captainalphabet. Umm, no. He did his job. He made a great movie. It's really all he's hired to do. He's not a marketer.

“I make movies, I don’t sell them” seems like an absurdly arrogant attitude to bring these days.
