I am not totally opposed to a sequel. It would have to pack a punch, or would end up being a pale wannabe of the 1982 classic. |

The original was a very good, stand alone film. I was never wild about the Vangelis soundtrack, but would hate to see anyone try to rework that aspect alone. I guess the big question could be addressing some of the subject matter further. It's covers more than one area. Human rights, terminal conditions, how we treat our environment. It's fertile ground but if you don't treat the subject matter intelligently, along with the audience, then it will not work very well at all. |

I hope it doesn't turn out like I, Robot (staring Will Smith). |

I actually thought that "I, Robot" wasn't that bad. Better than a lot that comes out these days in that it was not horror disguised as science fiction. |

I am a fan of a lot of Will Smith's work, but this role for him was mismatched in my opinion. So much so that I thought he detracted from the legitimacy and believability of the subject matter/movie. Smith's ability to take on dramatic roles is more miss than hit because he is not an actor who is often good out of his comedic/funny/light-hearted lane. If another actor had been the lead actor, my view of the movie could be entirely different. My concern for "Blade Runner" is that the movie will be dumbed down and the subject matter not taken seriously in a way that I think was intended with the story. |
