Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we’d love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.
I didn’t hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it’s not that I couldn’t handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn’t a bit box office but got a cult following, I’d totally believe that.
My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it’s just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.
it does, I remember Reddit raving so much about Blade runner, when I got around to watching it and then I see Deckard being saved by a typical deus ex machina when one of the Replicants has his hands around his neck and I was like, “this is a supposed masterpiece? fuck off”
and then you know I just wasn’t really into the film, I absolutely loved 2049 though.
Though I knew I was going into a Villeneuve movie so I knew it was gonna be goos.
