A Very Good Sequel To A Classic But This Film's Pace Sucks Big Red Donkey Penis

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 2017)

"Blade Runner 2049," is the sequel to Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" from 1982 and "Blade Runner 2049," stars Ryan Gosling as Officer K, a Blade Runner himself who is investigating a mystery involving a child and needs the help of Deckard (Harrison Ford) to help him solve the case.
This movie is a visual marvel. It is a gorgeous film to look at and Roger Deakins once again does a fabulous job in crafting the cinematography for this film. I feel like the cinematography and the production design really go hand in hand for this one, because if one wasn't good then the other would be just as bad, so luckily it seemed like this was an instance where visions for production design and cinematography worked hand in hand.
Everything thing from sound editing to sound mixing and the editing itself in general is seamless. The musical score for this film really resembles that of the original score from the first one., and that was something that I really appreciated.
The performances all across the board were really good, but I would just say that Ana de Armas was serviceable in this, but everyone else, from Ryan Gosling to Harrison Ford, gave outstanding performances.
The same can't be said for Jared Leto, who continues to get shunned by Warner Bros and only has two scenes in the entire 163 minute runtime thanks to misleading marketing, which bring me to my flaws.
The misleading marketing is one. The film's trailers were edited and marketed in a way to make it look like Jared Leto was the main antagonist in the film, and he isn't. He even gets a spot on the poster for his two scenes of work that equal about 8 minutes of screen time. Good job Warner Bros. Keep screwing him over.
Also, this film's pacing SUCKS BIG RED DONKEY PENIS. Jeez Oh crow, this film did not have to be as long as it was. Sure the original had scenes that felt slow, but there were only two or three in the original. In this one, there's about a 40 minute chunk where there is literally nothing going on. What doesn't help is that a lot of the scenes are long, drawn-out, and sometimes really quiet. Now I know what I'm getting into when I see a Blade Runner movie. I'm not expecting action scenes at this point, but my god don't let people be bored out of their minds for a good chunk of the movie.
With that being said, the story kept me interested in the movie despite its slow as balls pacing, and really got me thinking. People will be mad about e film's pacing and will probably be mad that this isn't an action movie and requires a lot of thought, because people nowadays don't like movies that require a lot of thought. *Cough* ALIEN COVENANT (great movie btw) *Cough*
Despite the ever excruciatingly slow as hell pace it's still a very good movie that doesn't act as a setup for another movie for a new franchise, thank god, and I am going to give "Blade Runner 2049 an A-.
