Critics Review- "Ridley Scott created a triumph of retro-futuristic design over narrative or character richness"- Michael Phillips "Chicago Tribune"

Out of a possible of 5 stars- 4 1/2

My Review-

Harrison Ford was one badass actor in the 80s; Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and now for me Rick Deckard. I have never seen this movie up until today, but I have kept hearing so many good things about it, and that there are many different versions of the film as well. So I chose with the help of a friend to watch "Blade Runner: The Final Cut." Once again without seen any other version of this film, I really enjoyed it. I like science fiction movies like this that are set in the future, This one of those films from director Ridley Scott that I have always wanted to watch but never got the chance to watch it. One of the things that made this movie enjoyable was the actors in the film. Ford, Hauer, and even the small part that Edward James Olmos had. One of the only things I did not like in this movie was that once again I had to watch Sean Young on screen, she is one of the actresses that I think that cannot act at all, but I wanted to see more of Daryl Hannah in the film as Pris; ever since watching Kill Bill and a few other movies she was in I always thought she was a pretty cool actress. I really loved the concept of this film, a retired cop that has to return to hunt down 3 escaped Replicants, how can you go wrong with that? Also Rutger Hauer is the villain, he is possibly one of the best on screen villains when he does a movie where he is the villain. Blade Runner is now in my Top 5 Ridley Scott films, Alien still being number 1 of course. But now that I've read they may make a sequel of it; I'am on the fence about it. Part of me wants to see what will happen next, the other part thinks its perfect the way it is.
