Visually yet overhyped

Rating: 5/10 (24 January 2019)

After years of hearing about the cultural praise from overall critics and movie fans alike, finally seeing Blade Runner. Though having seen Blade Runner 2049 prior to seeing this film. We can see as to why this film is praised though feels that it is quite overhyped. Having high expectations, the film is somewhat over hyped and not nearly as entertaining or great as expected.
Considered released in 1982, many have claimed as the filmed to be ahead of its time. Blade Runner is very stylish (for a filmed released in the 1980's) but one feels that it is more style over substance. It's overall plot is confusing and the characters aren't too interesting.
There is very little action and the pacing is quite slow. It does have a slow build and does get better in the second half but overall, Blade Runner is a letdown and doesn't see the worth hype. Perhaps the film is better on a second viewing with more attention to detail.
