Blade Runner I just DONT get it!

[theflyingwasp]

I'm a massive movie fan but I've tried and tried to get into blade runner and simply can't .dont know if it's the wooden acting or the fact I find it so damn boring.

i ordered the Blu ray from amazon even tho I knew I didn't like it but it's a reference quality Blu ray absolutely flawless but still I have no love for this film.i thought the pristine transfer would somehow make me like it but no.

I preferred the director's earlier work in Dorset.

 

[BenLaw]

Yeah it's crap.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

I like it, and I don't really like sci-fi, but I couldn't tell you which is the best cut.

Personally, I just don't get Star Wars. Absolutely dreadful films.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Yeah it's crap.

Sarcasm?

hmmm yes the Star Wars films.i wouldn't shed a tear if I could never watch the phantom menace and attack of the clones again ,I liked revenge of the sith.

as for the original trilogy .jedi was my favourite .

as for the new trilogy ,the hype will be horrific but I'm not excited after the farce of the last trilogy.

Jedi's the best of a very bad bunch. Utter sh*te.

 

[BenLaw]

Sarcasm?

No, but as it's me I can see why you'd think so! I also 'don't get it' and find something very offputting about it. Star Wars is utter buzzcocks too. I prefer my SF films either more cheesy (Total Recall, T1 & 2) or psychedelic (2001, Solaris, Silent Running).

 

[BenLaw]

Given we're talking about Star Wars, cheesy probably isn't the best distinction for my first category, but I'm sure there is one.

 

[theflyingwasp]

Even though Jedi was my favourite I still say it's a childhood thing the rankor scene below jabbas palace ,the pit of sarlac and the music when Luke defeats vader with the lightsaber must have had me mesmerised when I was a kid.

if Star Wars had came out now I wonder how it would have been received especially the incest undertones hmmmmm

 

[theflyingwasp]

I agree with all your films there ben but Solaris .....

I like it, though I didn't the first few times I saw it. There's something about the overwhelming gloom of it all that won me over, It's depressing, but IMO, still a great film.

Cook.off! Star Wars is great as is Bladerunner.

 

[ClassAct]

Hmm many consider it to be Ridley Scott's finest work.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Cook.off! Star Wars is great

You're wrong, but I will accept that I'm in the minority with my opinion.

Empire=good, Hope=just about watchable, Jedi=sh*t, and let's not even go there with the others.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

I do.

The 1972 version? Possibly the best of the lot!

 

[BenLaw]

I do.

Blatantly not as good as Alien!

I meant Empire, Jedi is awful.

None of them are objectively any good. The only reason people like them is nostalgia. I like (almost) all the Star Trek films but (with the possible exception of number 10) I wouldn't say they're any good, I like them for the same reason people like Star Wars, nostalgia.

I don't agree. I like Alien, and it's undoubtedly a very good film, but I prefer Blade Runner.

It is good and I'd certainly say it's better than Blade Runner but I don't get too excited by it.
