Nice strawman.

Why would they bring back Ford after they've seen his shit performances in recent movies
This other lead is also fucking awful, he's some beta male liberal faggot who only lusts after single mothers or brown women in all his movies "I drive" Good for you
Colton Bailey
>>technically polished, clean; where's the grit? That's the entire point, the new one is showing the bleak empty sterile future after the blackout where nature is practically non existant that is in contrast with the dense, dirty, alive and cluttered setting of the original. The original was mostly filmed at night, this was mostly filmed in a day. Adding grain or "grit" to that would make no sense.
>>long gone are the days of Vangelis' classic synth score, And that's a bad thing why? Do you really think a classic 80s soundtrack would suit this film? The visuals are pretty clean, empty, sterile and the soundtrack is downright dirty, distorted and industrial. It's largely overwhelming and "in your face" unsettling, but in a good way.
>>absent of noir vibes or philosophical ambiguity Highly disagree on both points, the whole film is basically a neo-noir detective drama in a scifi world that deals with the human condition, just like the original.

Why does Wallace need the daughter? Won't he go out of business once replicants can have children?
Also, why did he stab the girl right after birth?

>if the film is not exactly like the original, then it's shit xD This is you user. Also I'm pretty sure if it did do all of those things you ask the film to do you would now make a thread how the film just rehashed the old one and how it's not at all original. Just don't even bother replying
Michael Ward
Why even bother posting if you just embarrass yourself each time?
Jaxon Miller
>Won't he go out of business once replicants can have children? He wants to colonize the stars, doesn't give a shit about money. And because she was defective.

Ironic, because this is exactly what your criticism is. Assertions using big words and totally without evidence.
Daniel Gutierrez
He wants to colonize further planets, which would involve extremely long travel time and he cant have replicant factories on ships and colonies, it'd cost too much. Having them able to reproduce would make the most sense.
Same reason whites in america let their slaves marry and have kids once the slave trade ended.
Tyler Gray
The biggest crime: Action scenes that do not contribute to the plot. You can cut the harpoon scene or the Goose-Deckard fight in Las Vegas and nothing will be lost.

Killing one guy to keep a secret isn't the same as blowing a whole town worth of people to push him to find the kid.

1) The distinctiveness of its original dumpy, urban environment is lost due to looking like most of the hollow imitations that Blade Runner inspired; which is what this is - a pale replication of Scott's vision
2) A synth score is tonally pivotal. You're giving Zimmer too much credit. It isn't "in your face", it's just bombastic static from a man who is rarely able to manipulate emotions subtly.
3) It vaguely touches upon the human condition with Joi, but once she is killed off, and never brought up again, this subtext is also rendered as pointless and aimless because it never deals with its toll on K

Vangelis' score while impressive sounds dated now. It has aged worse than the Moog Soundtrack of Clockwork Orange and Tubular Bells from The Exorcist.
Chase Gray
>why isn't a sequel like the original jump off a bridge any time
Jacob Butler
the world builds on the original exploring the other concepts the original missed out on
Matthew Martin
Deckard realizes he's not a threat when he doesn't fight back. Normies need to have everything spelled out for them I guess.
Elijah White
