scott's masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2001)

i find it most amazing, how much these "little" changes improve the director's cut... just a few voiceovers, some takes...
when i first saw blade runner in 1987 i hated it, the next time i saw it not too many years later, it was not the same movie anymore. the director's cut is scott's masterpiece, better than alien and much better than his recent films. so in my opinion imdb should list the director's cut seperate from blade runner (1982). these are two different movies who would receive a different rating. in my opinion the director's cut is much better than 8,7!
what you will love when you see the movie:

you will love harrisons performance, he may not like it, but it is his best performance ever, that does not apply to his voiceovers in the 82 version

you will love the performance of most the other actors

you will love set decoration

you will love costumes

you will love the whole production design

you will love the special effects, if you consider how old they are

you will love the film noir quality of the film

you will love the imagery of L.A. in the year 2019, except maybe not if you live in L.A. now

you will love vangelis ingenious score, i hope they know at scott free productions what fans expect from the upcoming dvd: a seperate audio track just for the music!

you will love the unexpected ending of the showdown, which is ruined in the 82 version by a stupid voiceover

you will very much love the ending of the movie, it's one of those bombastic endings like in citizen kane, usual suspects and so on, but also only in the director's cut

watch this movie! then you can the enter endless discussions wether deckard is or is not a replicant himself.
is he, hampton and david?
