I loved the first one. I'm always a little leary when they come out with a sequel so many years later.

Visually mesmerizing, epic and impactful soundtrack, remarkable characters, thought-provoking story and great sequel.

When I saw it - at the first showing 10AM Friday (couldn't wait!), it had to be the oldest, quietest crowd I have ever seen in a theater! Quite a tribute to the original, I think.

I was utterly captivated from first frame to last.

Big fan of the original (well, the original director's cut), and I was skeptical of a sequel. Most critics have praised the film--and rightly so--but they're saying that it's not quite as good as the first one. Maybe, maybe not.

I haven't really had a strong opinion about Gosling, but I loved him in this. And Jared Leto amazed me. After his ridiculous Joker in Suicide Squad, I assumed that he was no longer capable to subtlety or understatement.

A brilliant successor to the Scott film, and an entirely believable "future" of the Blade Runner universe where Roy Batty died.

Terrific Easter eggs and callbacks to the original, too.


And can I say a few words about Robin Wright? Holy shit is she a powerful screen presence! I liked her in Wonder Woman, but she really knocked my socks off here.
