It doesn't need any editing, it's fine the way it is. "cutting an hour out of it"....oh, you mean cut out all the character/plot development and make it an incoherent mess? No thanks.
shareI personally know of two people who feel asleep at the theater watching this. They are big fans of movies.
It needs tighter editing
Or maybe they just hadn’t slept well the night before
shareIt's a slow, boring movie. We ALL know it. Whether one likes it that way or not is subjective.
The original was also very slow, but AT THE TIME, very fresh and unique. unlike this one.
I've never heard of these two (totally seperate) people ever falling asleep at a paid for movie. Nor having any sleeping problems. One of them is college aged.
I can’t dispute your perception the movie was boring because that’s your personal perception. But the fact that you know two people who fell asleep at the theater is not proof. I could just as easily claim that all your acquaintances have undiagnosed sleep disorders and cite as proof the two who fell asleep in public place where everyone else was awake.
shareI should have loved this movie. Love the original, still. Waited forever for this. I knew it wouldn't go where I wanted it to, and that was okay and I respect that. It's the long boring CGI shots of stuff not pushing the story line that need cut.
I would reduce those to quick location shots.
cut the pointless subplot about the warehouse of kidsgutting electronics
cut the entire, pointless to the plot psych review parts
reduce Leto's droning dialogs to be more impactful instead of pretentious....
Is it REALLY character development if people just stand there and act weird, or is it time filler.
BUT, not liking this means to the idiot internet masses I MUST like transformers... not even close, but I WANTED to like this.
I just watched it again on an airplane. They could have edited 20 minutes without impacting the story. I noticed people I thought were extras suddenly having lines. The scene where the three prostitutes were directed to “see what he knows.” One of them had like 6 lines in Russian for no reason. The prolonged scene with the Somali actor from Captain Phillips where he ran some radiation test on the wooden toy horse seemed like it was there just to be charitable and give the guy some acting work. So, I respect your reaction.
shareI agree, this movie badly needs an edited version, cutting down some lengthy & boring parts especially those with Jared Leto's. That particular lengthy scene where he studies the newly born replicant and then kills her as he talks long boring pretentious philosophical nonsense was cringe-worthy as hell. Denis Villeneuve must have thought he is trying to give some philosophical touch; whereas the movie is better off as raw as the original. Denis even failed at achieving the Industrial Neo-Noir-esque art direction for which the original was known for. It felt somewhat lacking, appearing more like a formality than capturing the gothic, dark-retro, and techno-chaotic essence of the future.
The AI and surrogate sex worker concept was ripped off from 'Her'. This is what you do to such a landmark movie's sequel?
The best part was Stelline's lab and memory designing. Those scenes were very creative.
Yes the memory part was interesting even while being kind of bland looking.... like most of the directors sets....
The orginal movie was full of gritty but interesting detail like a real world... this one was just blank empty spaces everywhere.. because, years later, blank falt low detail world was the new fashion? I guess but it just saves money on set decoration.... and is really dull to look at. Like an indie film where someone talking just has a blank wall behind them. yawn.
Movie long. Me no have attention span beyond five minutes. Movie need to be tik-tok video.
