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

A film that was routinely asked not to be made by fans is shit, suprise.
The Crow worked due to Brandon Lee, his father's legacy, and being the 90s. It was a collection of events that made an instant cult classic film.
Brandon Lee was also a good actor, and had most of the good lines in the film.
"And I say, 'I am dead, and I move.'"
Fans routinely asked that no one make a Blade Runner sequel too. Sometimes fans don’t know what they’re talking about.
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
BR2049 is shit. A mix of uninspired stuff, nice concept art and fan service, with a bad CGI Rachel.
I love Villeneuve's work elsewhere, but there he really fucked up.
You are shit. I base this in the fact that you are shit. Please don't debate this because I will not be able to defend. In closing fuck you and have a nice day.
Are you lost? Come with me, I will help you find your mommy.
I completely disagree with it being shit, but your complaints still have some merit. I just think the end product overcomes those flaws by a mile.
Except for it being called Blade Runner and not striking any resemblance to the original.
If it came out as it's own thing I would have called it a good movie, although a bit bland and with poorly written characters, but as a sequel to Blade Runner, no way.
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.
