What could anyone possibly add to <b>Blade Runner</b> that would be worthy?<br /><br />Too few sequels even rise to the level of "a decent job". The need to be creative while being constrained by the original is a difficult balance to pull off, especially when further constrained by a studio's demands for commercial success. Yes, <b>Aliens</b> was a great movie, but such exceptions are rare. Most sequels are more commercial-minded and thus more cautious and mediocre than the originals.<br /><br />I really wish the film industry would get over its sequel-mania and focus its efforts on the originality that gave us <b>Blade Runner</b>, <b>Alien</b>, <b>2001</b>, etc. in the first place.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
