'The Crow' reboot was 16 years in the making. It's finally out, and critics say it's 'tedious' and 'unfathomably awful.' (www.businessinsider.com)

Fans routinely asked that no one make a Blade Runner sequel too. Sometimes fans don’t know what they’re talking about.

I feel blade runner was good. The original was better but fans were excited for the second one.

Background: I only watched the original before watching the sequel.

IMO, the sequel is better.

I felt like it took everything good about the original and improved upon it.

My suspicion is that people who prefer the original are nostalgic for it.

Meh, I thought the second would have been a great movie if it was 20-30 minutes shorter. My god some of those scenes drag on.

The first was ground breaking for its time. I don't think it is nostalgia (although there is probably some) so much as context. A lot of the things that had people's jaws on the floor are commonplace now. It's hard to recreate that illusion especially if you're comparing it to modern movies.

I enjoyed the new Blade Runner, but it wasn't anywhere nearly as good as the original. Also, big difference between a sequel and a reboot
