    People who grew up with the original will probably flay me for this.

    Bladerunner 2049 was a better movie than Bladerunner. It took everything that was great about the original and improved upon it.

      The original is a masterpiece. That said, I loved the sequel and have rewatched it multiple times. However, I don’t know if it is because I love the film or just anything Ryan Gosling is in 🤤😅

        The first movie I saw with Gosling was Lars and the Real Girl. I didn’t get his appeal then, but I do now. I should watch that movie again because as weird as that movie is, I think his performance is stellar.

      I guess I will need to rewatch 2049 again (I’ve only seen it once, in the cinema at release). I’ve watched the original quite a few times since though and I’m increasingly of the opinion that it’s quite overrated and gets heavily carried by the visuals and the soundtrack, so I could see a case being made for the sequel being better.

        The story / writing is pretty bold too. It’s nothing new by modern standards, but it was probably relatively novel in 1982.
