Well Blade Runner did not need a sequel, like Jaws. The questions it posed shouldn't be answered.

Sequels, "prequels", and remakes are three entirely different things. Blade Runner 2049 was not a remake. It was a sequel and it should be evaluated as such.

Okay, to be more clear then, BR-2049 sucked and should never have been made.

Blade Runner as a book was good. The film - meh. I find that attempts to make Science Fiction appeal to the masses rarely turn out well.
YMMV.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The book? Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep... or there was a novelisation of the screen play from what I remember... The Final Cut is the best one without the film noir voice over & no cheesy ending!

I meant Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, not the novelisation of the film.

Do Androids Dream is good first time I read it I was about 12 and finished it and though OK that was a little dated, second time I liked it accepted the bits of dated tech, never read the novel of the film...or I seem to remember there being sequels to them.

I believe it was a short story (minor quibble) but Phillip K. Dick did not care for the movie at all, for what that is worth.

Beautifully filmed rubbish - the ending was both predictable and dumb.

I agree, looked good, didn't do much, the only line in it that makes you think is "built on the backs of a dispoable work force" where as the first had the whole tears in the rain bit...

I found myself shouting at the screen, at home, when watching it as I expected so much from it and it delivered so little.
The visuals were great but there were some parts where I had to watch the same scene several times as the edits did not make sense - when Deckard shoots the chap, I was thinking "Why the hell did he do that?" and even after several times watching it I could not figure out his motives for the shot.
I did not watch it all and was surprised at it's high rating amongst critics.
I watch a movie for the story not for the visuals - the visuals are there to supplement the story, which is why Kubrick's films are so fantastic.

Quote: Kubrick's films are so fantastic.
Sadly: "Kubrick's films were so fantastic", any one who go from satire (Dr. Stanglove) to Hard Sci-Fi (2001) to war movie (Full Metal Jacket) to...the list goes on.

I heard a story that the guys developing the set for Dr Strangelove did not know what the inside of a B-52 looked like. So they spoke to some airforce people and managed to get a rough idea of what the inside looked like.
When the film was released there was something of a panic from some in the airforce as the interior of of the B-52, in the film, was so similar to the reality that there was concern that the plans of the communications system had been leaked.
I can't end the post without a quote from the film - "Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

Never imagined they would make that many remakes. I have already seen the first one, 2048 to go...

Best of luck with that!

I'm used to seeing spam for Vi*gra, bitcoins, lonely Russian girls, Nigerian princes etc, but to day I received the weirdest spam email I've ever had!
A Turkish company is offering to sell me walnut seedlings and apparently they have all of the sertificates needed!
What's the weirdest thing you've been offered?

Dunno - I don't read it any further than to identify it as spam.
That's assuming it gets through my spam filters, which doesn't happen much these days.
