    Blade Runner is a superb film and a sequel is long overdue!

    I have seen things you people wouldn't believe in the original.

    Harrison Ford fighting killer androids.
    Flying cars shimmering over the Los Angeles distopia.

    All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time for a sequel.

    Saying Fuck every other word, showing exploding heads and having tits on screen constantly isn't the recipe for a good movie.

    No, but it's a good start. ;-)
