Thought it was awesome. They created an original story which in turn helps this film hold its own rather than prop itself on the original. Liked the soundtrack was more atmospheric though, bit like zimmers work on Dunkirk, you can tell these were basically written back to back, possibly this first. It lacked though some of those amazing melodies from the original soundtrack, memories or green. I think he needed to invest more time on these soundtracks he’s talented enough to start a clean slate rather than use the source material from Vangelis, but that migh have been the studios call.
Not too many things I didn’t like *SPOILERS!!!!*
Product placement was made too obvious two particular scenes, peugot and Sony, the camara puts the brand in shot, not neccesary.When they took Deckard to their leader... felt like a James Bond movie. Jared Leto also acting like a fucking Bond villain didn’t help. I think they could have edited this film down to 2 hours removed most of Jared Leto and taken out the meet the replicant republic front, could have been executed better.
These are small details, I think the director might have stripped some of those back, wondering if this was a studio call, let’s not forget, the original (before the edits) was not perfect, in fact it bombed out I believe on its original release.
