I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

The original Blade Runner movie is not nearly as good as the sequel. The sequel highlights how lesser the original's plot was. We overly praise the first one because of the Tear in the Rain Speech.

I wanted to downvote your stupid ass but op asked for unpopular opinions. So fuck you here's an upvote.

Thanks, to be clear I don't dislike the original. It does a lot of stuff good, like world building. But 2049 is actually structured with acts and has a main character who develops throughout the film.

I like them both a lot but the original is a classic I keep going back to. Maybe I'm just the right age for it.

It's definitely a classic, it just seems like the parts with Ford in the middle of the film doesn't really achieve much to me. I think a version of the film around Deckard chasing just Roy Batty (and not the others) might have been better. Hauer did fantastic work every time he was on screen he should have got more.

But maybe it was an artistic choice to include Deckard hunting the other replicants as a commentary on meaningless violence.

I loved the original, when I had only seen the TV cut which doesn't include the protagonist committing rape. I've seen the full version all of once and that just broke it for me.

I have the sequel on my to-watch list, but will be starting it off in a guarded manner.

I have tried to watch the original like three times and I fall asleep every time.
