Kevin’s hate for WB is so strong that he rooting for a film with WB involvement to only succeed OS! 

 

It wasn’t that long ago that he thought it would be a flop as it was a sequel to a flop!

I bet Kevin will be the one to spearhead the inevitable online backlash.

I hadn't realized how much I was rooting for this film to be good until I noticed how relieved I was at the great reviews. IMAX here I come.

Dene does it again! On Roger Deakins website he recommends watching it in 2d then 3d, gonna catch this in IMAX I'm thinking.

Will the [mini]backlash against this take longer to materialize than the [mini]backlash against Dunkirk happened? Because I am already seeing too many people saying "Dunkirk was so overrated; anything but one of the best of the year, come on!" 

No because this is actually great.

[Hatebox]

Awesome, we're still talking about Nolan.

They make some good points.

The film being great doesn't mean that one cannot talk about issues like that.

I'm miss rah, rah diversity but I never expected Blade Runner 2049 to be diverse. Maybe that's why I'm not bothered that it isn't. I'll watch other sci fi dystopian films if I want to see some diversity. There is nothing wrong with discussing it, have at it, I just don't care to. Honestly I have an outrage limit and I'm just not going to be outraged by every single movie the way some people want to be. But it's fine if other people are outraged, I will not tell anyone what to feel or think. I'm sure there are some things in films that I'm outraged by that other people aren't and that is what it is.

Just reading the Guardian review and the plot premise seems to be inconsistent with the original film.

Quote

Ryan Gosling plays LAPD officer K, a limited-lifespan replicant whose task is to track down and destroy those first-gen models who can live as long as humans

Well the first film was about those first gen replicants trying to get around their limited lifespan.

A 3 hour movie with lots of talking (I'm assuming). I can't see that going over well with audiences.

It's a shame that Johannsson got the short end of the stick with both this and mother! in 2017.

Not really. In interview with Collider DV said that he's finding dialogues boring and tends to cut them to bare minimum.

It's probably going to be closer to 3 hours of wide-angle compositions of actors slowly walking among grand, haunting production design.

96% on RT? It could probably hit 50m+ this weekend.

I don't know man, it just got a SECOND rotten review...

[Tauren Warlock]

It dropped to an 83 on Metacritic after 25 reviews. Apes might get better reviews in the end.

Well guys, that does it.  A second rotten review?  RIP this movie's box office chances

[AndyK]

The reviews seem to be centring on the visual aesthetics of the movie rather than plot or characterisation.

 

That's a bit worrying for such a long film.
