>watch blade runner >visually nice, but otherwise it's nothing special >come back home >check RT to read what the critics are saying about it >almost unanimous praise from both critics and audience members >many calling it one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever made
I used to be very skeptical of the idea that studios bought reviews, but it's very obvious they're doing it here so shamelessly with Blade Runner 2049. I don't think they even care to hide it anymore.
>one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever made
It is. Unless you can disprove it.
Easton Bell
i felt this after watching Mad max fury road. critics are really fucked up nowadays. I don't think they're bought, but something is clearly wrong with them
Cameron Peterson
Fury Road is OK but forgettable. I just saw BR2049 and am gonna re watch it today I think, and im gonna see if it holds up or not, but it seemed fucking amazing
John Baker
but fury road was a masterpiece

You’ve got to remember who reads critical reviews.
It’s not just film nerds. Normies also read the reviews to inform their decision whether to see the film or not.
Michael Martinez
normalfag fuck off.
Christian Scott
I dropped 120 µg of acid a little before going to the movie and I have to admit that it really is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I didn't know it was even possible to make movies of that scale. Only complain I have to give is that the soundtrack was pretty underwhelming from time to time, I was really broken that Jóhann Jóhannsson didn't compose it all the way through.
Joseph Collins
bet you cunts havent even seen the original

Reason why i liked it...This guy sums it up very well.

Tell us about the movie. Describe it and tell us what you think was happening. We'll let you know if you're on track or not. Try to explain the themes if you can.
Also, name a movie you *would* call "special" so we know where you're coming from.
Benjamin Edwards
dude retards call the original a masterpiece while it's a boring piece of shit and a clusterfuck
Cameron Miller
Fury Road is feminist propaganda that literally consulted the writer of the Vagina Monologues.
Blade Runner 2049 is a serviceable sequel and great example of Goose-kino. This movie is a literal /ourguy/ movie, like Drive. Gosling consciously panders to the "feels audience" that he knows he has.
Bentley Cook
you're a shitskin from france or possibly belgium who wrongly believes that br2049 is a well directed film that properly captures and explores the ideas it poorly introduces with cleverly constructed scenes, instead of the overplayed cliched garbage already used a million times in this subgenre I mean common Jean Maloud you know what the fuck im talking about
Lincoln Green
Blade Runner (1982) was a happy (yet gloomy) accident, involving: a) a young and ambitious director who fought ferociously with studio executives in order for them to let him fulfil his vision; b) a rising blockbuster star who wanted to prove he can also act in a serious movie; c) a crazy Dutch actor who decided to change the script and improvise one of the most memorable monologues in film history; d) a bunch of talented artists who wanted to make a movie that would look and sound different from anything else we had seen before. And most of all, e) a post-Vietnam turbulent era when Hollywood rebels like Coppola, Scorsese and Cimino were audaciously attempting to reinvent the language of cinema, telling stories that mattered and not caring at all about target audiences and marketing trends. As a result, Blade Runner was a box office failure that slowly became a legend, breaking stereotypes like "good guy kills bad guy at the end" and dealing with existential agony on an almost metaphysical level; always within the context of a gritty future dystopia. Blade Runner 2049 is none of these things. On the contrary, it's the flawed triumph of a next generation of studio executives, who control the creative process by paying millions to the industry's best of the best, providing they will make something that will take advantage of a successful brand in order to bring profits to shareholders. If there is one word to describe this movie, it's "replicant".

And guess what ? opinion are like assholes...In other words we all have one...Mine is just as valid as yours. You're a probably a mongrel considering what passes for white in your country
Cooper Price
You’re response only solidifies my point
John Gomez
have you seen the movie because i what you described sounded quite similiar to the reboot the bad guy doesnt die nd this is technically a box office failure too the story told actually matttered as it described an identity crisis which is a huge problem nowadays and will become an even bigger one in the near future it shows things movies of that category wouldnt normally show you didnt even make a point please explain ultimately i cant tell you to like the movie but please dont shit on a good movie just because you dont like it
Hunter Baker
I felt the film was pretty mediocre too but the thing is...
I can't stop thinking about the film. I think there's something there that's worth a rewatch.
Joseph Turner
so you're a native french without taste that's even worse it appears that drumpf is right about one thing at least, which is that france is no longer france
Isaac Nguyen
ha I feel the same way.
Thought I enjoyed it immensely until the Vegas fight and everything that followed after that but eh.
Hunter Hall
>so you're a native french without taste What's so special about your taste then ? What kind of snobism is this ? You sound like a pretentious pseudo-intellectual. Who the fuck do you think you are ?

Reminder that BR2049 is being counter shilled by disney pajeets afraid of its impact on Star Wars

It is an epic made small and personal with film trickery. Very Canadian, right down to the snowy Los Angeles.

>Fury Road is feminist propaganda that literally consulted the writer of the Vagina Monologues
She was hired to do some acting coaching with the actresses playing the wives because Miller heard her interviewed on Australian radio about working with sexually-abused women in the third world and she happened to be in the area. He also hired a crazy ex-Australian army general to coach the war boys.
Fury Road was a fine film, a great sequel and one of the few releases in recent memory actually worth dragging yourself to the theatre for. I don't know if I can say the same for Bland Runner 2049.
Owen Ward
I felt this way about Fury Road
Jaxon Perez
there's nothing special about my taste its just that i dont fall for flavor of the month garbage like baby driver, dunkirk and 2049 thats made by meme directors, unlike apparently 70% of this Sup Forumseddit infested board

Sounds like BR 2049 to me.

And so you concluded that i'm that type of person ? Who the fuck are you ? Do we even know each other ?....
I haven't seen Baby Driver btw. I've seen Dunkirk, good film but left me cold. (emotionally speaking). My favorite Nolan flicks are Prestige, Inception & Memento. Dark knight was good...Insomnia was meh...(not to mention it was a remake) Dark knight rises was mediocre imo. Insterstallar suffers from similar problems...Had potential but ruined by that library tesseract scene near the end.
Are you one of those pretentious cunts who loves films that fail miserably at the box office or are only watched by a 100 people in the world just for the sake of it ? As some sort of intellectual ego-masturbation ?....
I'm very curious, what was your top 3 favorite films this year ? Any favorite film directors ?
So ok...Villeneuve is a hack, Nolan is a hack...So who do you like ? enlighten me...
Ayden Young
nice way to completely miss the point of his post because he's making fun of red and dittors

>>just b yourself omg so deep haha millenials wont get this XD It's not about "not getting it"...It's quite easy to understand. And i chose this text because that's how i also personally felt about this film. (note: english is not my native tongue). And his way of putting it was perfect to me.

just being himself is what he did in the beginning. it's stagnation but I guess you really are not going to get it because you're a millennial

only good film i've seen from this year thus far has been Hong Sang-soo's On the Beach at Night Alone Hong Sang-soo is arguably the most acclaimed korean filmmaker ever and this film was probably the most anticipated film of berlin film festival So he's not a director who makes films that only "less than a hundred people see" And as for my favourite directors its Nicholas Ray, its Smauel Fuller , its Peter Watkins, its Paul Verhoeven(ewven though i hated his last three films) etc. I have no special preferences I've seen genre films that i would classify as high-brow art more than the films that aim to be high-brow and ive seen plenty of those that were terrible
Blake Torres
>I don't know if I can say the same for Bland Runner 2049. You can. 2 different movies but they share this aspect, no other prequel/sequel/reboot I can think of does.

How does it feel ? Do you feel special and unique knowing that 99% of us having seen it ? Now, did you actually geniunely liked this film or are you saying this just because you're a fucking edgy snowflake ?...
(you see how easy it is to judge a person you know nothing about ?)...Earlier you called me a shitskin, then you said that i was from Belgium or marseille... And said i had shit taste. (if any your personal taste were somehow special or objectively superior to mine).
I'm not too familiar with Korean cinema. I've seen this one (which i thought was brilliant)... youtube.com/watch?v=S-S5n0JniDw
Hey it looks just as boring as yours though...So maybe i'll eventually check out "On the beach at night alone"...You never know
So i've seen 3 Iron, sympathy for mr vengeance, Oldboy, Memories of murder, I saw the Devil....a few others but these are the one i remember right now...
Nicholas Ray, Smauel Fuller ? Peter Watkins? What are you 50 years old ? I'm talking about recent or active film directors....Any names ? ,Paul Verhoeven ? Last film i've seen from him was Elle with Huppert (which i thought was ok but overrated)
Nolan Taylor
>having seen it ? haven't
Jace Ross
>How does it feel ? Do you feel special and unique knowing that 99% of us having seen it no since i'ves seen movies that 99.9999% of the board hasn't seen that i've liked, but also movies that 99.9999% hasnt seen that i've hated >Now, did you actually geniunely liked this film or are you saying this just because you're a fucking edgy snowflake ?... yes i genuinely like this film it was touching, deeply affecting, brave and personal i wouldnt call it great. or a masterpiece though as it has some minor issues, but it's still a pretty damn good movie >Nicholas Ray, Smauel Fuller ? Peter Watkins? What are you 50 years old ? I'm talking about recent or active film directors....Any names ? because you didnt specify that you meant "new" directors connard anyways: Antonin Peretjatko Tsai Ming-liang Anna Biller Roberto Minervini Tobias Lindholm Corneliu Porumboiu Michael Almereyda Also stop spacing so autistically jesus christ man
Joseph Thomas
Look at all that 'ad-hominem' spilled on the ground like spaghetti from a pocket.
Fucking hell man...Are you a Cannes film fest judge or something? Do you take pride mentioning directors 0,1% of the world's population are aware of ?...
Out of the names you have mentioned i know Anna Biller (i guess i under the Niche behind her style but not my thing at all man...i'd rather stick with the "hack" Villeneuve and Nolans of the world, sorry for not being as smart as you)
I also know Roberto Minervini (Only seen Low Tide from this director)
And also Michael Almereyda (i've only seen Experimenter, which i thought was average, and i'm still wondering why they even bothered doing a film about it even though it's a fascinating subject). But i thought it was a film as useless as Oliver Stone's Snowden. (useless if you've already seen the real documentary which thaisfilm is inspired from)
Who else ? Tobias Lindholm, yes..I remember Jagten (in my country it was called "la chasse"). Good film but i don't know much else from that director.
As for the other names you have mentioned, i don't think i know them. Never heard of them. So i guessed right, you're a fucking film snob aren't you?
Guess what? You're not alone. But elitism for the sake of it is bullshit. I can appreciate Villeneuve films and that doesn't stop me from watching Philippe Grandrieux films. (who's as anti-commercial as it gets). And i don't pretend to like all these directors just for the sake of it. They too, ALSO create shit films. And sometimes in a blue moon, they happen to produce great ones. At least that's my opinion (and as you already...Opinions are like assholes). And i'm sticking to it.
You still had no legit reasons to call me 1 - a shitskin 2 - to tell me i had shit taste. (again, you can't objectively judge something like that...Because your opinion is just as subjective as mine).
