Blade runner was the one of the biggest disappointments of my life. Anyone else agree?

I expected an 'on the edge of ure seat' sci-fi thriller. And expected to leave wantin to shot me some robots. Instead i got 3hours of slow dark mystery.

I'm afraid you were seriously mis-informed if this was what you were expecting. Honestly it is a good film, and the soundtrack is great too.

I saw it at the DCA last year and on the big screen it is great.

Mind you, if it wasn't the directors cut you watched, then yes it is crap. That shity voiceover does no-one any favours, and makes it seem like a hugely overblown PI film.
The directors cut though, is a whole lot better. Watch that version, it is a bit more of a thought provoker, and it is wonderfully filmed. And after the mess that total recall made of Phillip K Dicks book, blade runner is pretty reasonable. Especially in the representation of the post war city.

Seriously, watch it again.

i've never actually seen the film but if i remember correctly it's from Phillip K. Dick's, "do andriods dream of electric sheep" *i think blade runner is a better name* also is it a good adaptation of the book (unlike minority report)
