Thin in just about every area other than the visuals

Rating: 5/10 (16 October 2017)

'Blade Runner 2049' is by far the most over-hyped and overrated movie of the year so far. I wasn't a big fan of the original in the first place, but decided to go and see the sequel anyway because of all the rave reviews it was receiving. Rather like the original, '2049' is too slow, too shallow and relies way too much on the visuals, which is the only impressive part of the movie.
Everything else about 'Blade Runner 2049' is massively disappointing as far as I'm concerned. The plot is sub-standard, especially for a near 3 hour long movie. It is convoluted and messy in parts. Fans of Harrison Ford will be disappointed too, given that he barely does anything in the movie, only first appearing around the 2 hour mark. I thought 'Blade Runner 2049' was thin in just about every area other than the visuals. The biggest disappointment of the year so far for me.
