Do originals dream of electric sequels?

This is one of the rare occasions when the question is actually worth being asked: Is the sequel better than the original?

It probably is, but given my lack of enthusiasm for the original I won't see it. More reasons not to see it include: Grandpa Ford rehashing yet another roll.

But it's so good!

It is also disconnected enough from the original that you can see it pretending it's a standalone movie.

smirnoff wouldn't make it past the ninety-minute mark. To his credit.

The subplots of BLADE RUNNER 2049 detract a lot from the main storyline. Ryan Gosling's acting is pretty bad too.

The original all the way.

I'll get to 2049 eventually.  Not in any hurry.

Feel like 2049 is a movie that only 25 year-olds love.
