Inspired by the thread of comments we had on Star Wars original trilogy, are there movies or film series you considered great at some point, or that other people consider great but that you guys consider kind of 
? Or maybe not the masterpiece everyone seems to believe?
This is not about being a contrarian 
“WHAA POPULAR THING SUCKS”, is more about “why do people make such a fuzz on it” sincere feeling

Drive was aggressively mediocre, trending towards bad but not quite reaching it. Forgettable and unremarkable are the two best words for it.
Blade Runner 2049 was also serviceable but ultimately very low impact. It's the sort of thing I'd expect to be argued about whether or not it's a good mindless hangover movie with the points for it being how vapid and aesthetically pleasant it is vs. points against being its length and pretenses of being lofty. The near-universal praise for it is concerning.

The thing about drive is it's all about the form, nothing about the substance. It's basically a movie made for movie directors (and wannabes). It's still pretty great tho.

Absolutely agreed on blade runner 2049. If environment was the sole factor for movie quality it'd be the greatest of all time. But the plot straddles a 6 or 7. HE HAS TO DIE B-B-B-BECAUSE THEY NEED A MARTYR. yeah sure man whatever go take him to see his daughter and die on her front porch or some shit rather than going to the only group that could treat you. I don't care if he doesn't make it there it just makes zero sense they couldn't at least try first.

no r-slur he chose to be. he abandoned the revolution and wanted no part of it, but saving someone and preserving a bit of genuine love that he found was enough for him to lay down his life

and he decided to just die out of complacency then? The active threat is gone you can't at least go and try and get treated by the people who would happily care for you at this point?
I'm not even saying HE MUST SURVIVE I'm just saying why not even try a little bit?

The point of the movie is him giving in and rejecting the system and the revolution. I do think that the movie had a weaker plot, but it had a great ending.

2049 is compelling because of its visuals and style. It's fictional world evokes some of the grimmer realities of the real world.
The plot was pretty dumb though.

I tried to watch Blade Runner 2049 twice and both times I had to turn it off once Jared Leto showed up
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah Jared Leto sucked. I rewatched both BR movies recently, and Blade Runner was even better than I remembered it (as always) while I don't think I'll ever watch 2049 again. It's like a kid putting on his big boy pants and trying to live up to daddy's movie. How do you benefit from decades of innovation and make the movie look worse? Look at the difference between Deckard's apartment and Goosling's sterile 2015-looking piece of shit:
And the only time the music came anywhere close to the DIVINITY
of the original was when they inserted actual Vangelis music at the end. I felt something for a split second. BWOMMM BWOMMMM BWOMMM oh wow, so sublime, thank you Denis. Mass Effect featured hours of 10/10 ambient music 17 years ago. No excuse. Deckard and especially Rachel should not have been in it. I will say I think Ana de Armas' character was great, and le crying bandaid man scene was a legitimately excellent moment in cinema. I will also say that Blade Runner is my favorite movie of all time, and 2049 is good enough that it didn't piss me off. Just a 7/10 vs a 10/10 despite having the source material and aesthetic already laid out.
