A great standalone movie, not what I was looking for

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2018)

Don't get me wrong. I did like this movie a lot. However, there were a couple of flaws. Remember this is all my personal opinion, so you don't have to listen to a word I say.
One of my main complaints with the movie is how it's a standalone movie. It doesn't feel like a sequel at all. I think this is due to the fact that they made a sequel 30 years later. I had the same problem with the new star wars franchise. The sequel just didn't feel it was in the same universe. Rick Deckard didn't even feel like Rick Deckard. I saw a guy who had the name, but didn't share any of the qualities. He was the factor that connected the two blade runner movies, and he doesn't even come until halfway through the movie. The movie just felt like it was its own thing, which wasn't I wanted to go see. I wanted to see a sequel to the Blade Runner.
My other complaint will be a lot less long. The movie was just too long. This movie definitely could have been an hour and 50 minutes, but they had to make it two hours and 40 minutes. Those other fifty minutes were unnecessary. Everyone just walked slow, and the pacing was slow, justin like in 2001 a space odyssey.
Otherwise I did love this movie. It just could have been so much more.
