Like this review, the movie's too long and boring!

Rating: 5/10 (5 November 2017)

I went to see this movie with my mother, who told me that it was a sequel to the original movie, and it wasn't supposed to be as good as the original, which is to be expected; it's very rare that you find a sequel that is as good, if not better, than the original! However, I haven't seen the original, nor did I know what it was about. I didn't even look up the synopsis or read the reviews for this one before going to see it, so I went into it blind, not knowing what to expect.
The movie started off rather slowly, and I don't mind some slow scenes if they've got a point to them, but there comes a point in time where you've just got to get a move on and not draw it out any more! The movie continued with slow scenes, which bored me out of my mind; I was yawning and wanted to curl up and fall asleep! However, the action scenes were good, and the mystery was there – it had me guessing as to who the child was, and I had two guesses, which were wrong. If I was paying more attention, I would have pin-pointed it as soon as I saw the adult version.
That's the problem, though; the movie was so boring and slow that I switched my mind off, and I even missed some bits due to being distracted by something else!
Some of the scenes were so drawn out and slow that it almost made me feel as if they were just plonked there as fillers; it made no sense as to why they were there! Also, the fight scene between Deckard and Agent K made no sense to me at all. I understand that Deckard would want to protect himself and his home, so it made sense that he would fight Agent K for a moment, but why draw it out? The fight sequence felt emotionless and too choreographed; there seemed to be no point behind it than to get testosterone out! One punch stop for an awkward moment another punch stop for an awkward moment This went on, though Agent K had stated his intentions. The fight continued to the entertainment/cabaret room, and it just felt like an opportunity to display holograms of various musical acts. The only comical point was when Deckard says that he loves the current song playing, but even that seemed out of place!
The climax with Agent K, Deckard and that lady from Tyrell was an anti- climax! Sure, Agent K managed to kill her, but Deckard couldn't get out of those cuffs and help (either he couldn't, or he just wasn't trying hard enough)! It kind of feels unrealistic, too; the lady stabbed Agent K multiple times, yet he still had such strength and was able to kill her, no bleeding out in the water, and only died later? Dude!
I was a bit confused during the movie as to what was going on and its purpose, and it was pointed out that it might be a movie that you have to see more than once to get a full grasp on what's happening. Like Catch me if you can.
Is it really worth paying more money and seeing again, though? Would I recommend it to someone to see? Would I recommend a die-hard fan see it?
I gave this movie five stars due to the fact that there was some mystery there and Harrison Ford was in it.
I would recommend this movie, but to only be viewed once, and maybe after it's come out on DVD and the price has been dropped. Maybe I'm being too harsh in my review, but I wouldn't see it again; it's not worth spending all that money again. As far as the die-hard fans go, maybe give this one a miss and just re-watch the original.
I just read another review, which make good points, and read that they're planning to make this into a franchise, meaning more movies. If that's the case, please don't! Most sequels don't live up to their potential and come near the first one, and this sequel was no exception. If they came up with a poor story-line and execution for this movie, what, or who, is to say that any other movie in this franchise will be any better?
