Enjoyed AFO more now than back in the 90's


I used to hate this film back in the 90's, but having watched it again recently I found I enjoyed it a lot more than I did back then.

That's because most action films or films in general nowadays are crap and make films like this look like The Godfather...… seriously.

Perchance, are you a fan of the blade runner sequel? Just wondering. Awesome film.

Oh and AFO is great, too. I’ve always enjoyed it.

reply

I like both Blade Runner films equally.

With hindsight, I find the President's foreign policy in this film uncomfortably close to the Bush Doctrine.

It's a good entry in the "Die Hard on a___" subgenre of action films. I think it helps the movie takes itself pretty serious and is not as jokey given the premise.
