A review with perspective

pffft...I'd be more concerned if [i]all[/i] the critics were raving about it. Now[i] that[/i] would be worrisome. So pumped for next Thursday night.

Well played, sir

very very good. Remember, not all movies suit all critics...

....even the people who did not like it want's to see it again...that's a good sign and currently @ rotten tomatoes the movie is at 88%...with 17 reviews...2 rotten...15 nice and ripe!

Another review: " Science-fiction devotees may find it to be a wonderfully meticulous movie and marvel at the comprehensiveness of its vision. Even thos without a tatse for gadgetry cannot fail to appreciate the degree of effort that has gone into constructing a film so ambitious and idiosyncratic. The special effects are superb. And its also a mess, almost nothing is explained coherently, the plot has great lapses form the changeable nature of one key charcter to the frequent disappearances of another. Mr Scott who made his mark in Alien by showing a creature bursting forth from the body of one of its victoms, tries hard to hit the same mark here. The end of the film is both gruesome and sentimental. Mr Scott cant have it both ways, anymore than he can expect overdecoration to carry a film that has neither strong characters nor a strong story." Is that how you would review Blade Runner? because that is how Janet Maslin from the New York times felt back on June 25th/ 1982
