Went on an hour too long

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2018)

I thought the film was pretty good and stayed true to the original bladerunner up until the point Ryan Gosling's character found "the person he was looking for", and then the film seemed to completely change in tonality, seemed rushed for the next hour, and was very amateurish and unoriginal/uncreative in tying together the plot and trying to add in unnecessary plot twists which were completely predictable and vanilla. The last hour of this film ruined the film. They should've ended it after 2 hours leaving us in suspense still wondering if they had to, but it would've been a much, much more respected sequel than the hollywood generic garbage that ensued for the last hour of this film. You give me ample time or put me in a room with creative heads and I could've thought of a much better ending to this that didn't require an extra hour of garbage.
Until the last hour, the scenery stayed true to the original, the tone stayed true to the original with the slow, plodding pace (although it couldve used one more little action sequence at least, it was much slower than the original and needed one or two small action filled scenes to keep viewers alert..this was obvious) and Ryan Gosling was a good cast for the role. The characters weren't very well-developed, but i think most of the transient characters in the first bladerunner were only so well developed anyways. I will repeat for the final time, about the 2 hour point where "he found the person he was looking for" shouldve been the ending, and it shouldve been a whole different ending that didn't necessarily have to have this wanna-be super complex plot with these forced predictable twists, it couldve been something simple that left us in wonder, or something simple that lead to finality and conclusion, which the original mainly did with a hint of wonder. They got the end totally wrong and managed to take this film from a rare film that got a sequel right into a steaming pile of mediocrity, disappointment, and quite honestly, based on plot and conclusion, a film that was probably a 2/10 at best but is at least saved by the visuals and the similarity of the first 2 hours to the original bladerunner.
