A similar beast to The Force Awakens in many ways:
- It's a good film, very well-made, I enjoyed it
- It often manages to capture the tactile, lived-in feel of the original, but misses it on occasion (here, the clean, minimalist sets throughout and some CG cityscapes)
- it successfully replicates (lol) the overall tone of the original, but hits too many of the same beats, overstuffs the narrative (a lot of loose threads and 47 mins longer than the original) and crams in some pointless cameos
- Ford is great in it and makes this recognisably 'old Deckard' as opposed to 'old Han' or 'old Indy'
Having said all that, it took a couple of viewings for me to appreciate the original, so I may need the same with this one, perhaps moreso as it might help view it as its own thing a little more.
