Help Picking 1 of 3 BDs - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

All are great movies...but if you want something different from your typical drama/action movie...bladerunner or Sincity. Personally, I would go with Sin City. I think you would get more out of that movie as it's different and not similar to anything I had ever seen before.

Rotten tomatoes:

Sin City - 77%
Blade Runner - 91%
Man on Fire - 39% (Which is bull in my opinion, as I think it is a great movie)

Either way, you can't go wrong with either. Flip a coin??

Blade Runner.

My second choice would also be Blade Runner

hardcorefrokid · 01-23-2009, 11:37 PM

Blade Runner!

Blade Runner.

Blade Runner is considered a classic. I highly doubt the other two will ever be considered classics.

Since Man on Fire is not a blind buy. I assumed U do not like it enjoy to just buy right out. I said rent the other two (Blade Runner, Sin City) decide from there. If time is factor to use the credit now, I would choice Blade Runner myself. All three are great movies.

I would say Blade Runner. It's a fantastic film, and, even though I don't own the Blu-Ray (I have it on DVD) I hear the transfer is out of this world.

Sin City, all the way.

SpaceDog · 01-24-2009, 12:06 AM

we really need all these threads in "off topic" or a new forum called "I can't decide"
I don't think we need a new thread every time someone has $20 to spend.

Crazy world we live in...

Anyways, my pick goes to 'Blade Runner'. 'Sin City' was excellent, but not many movies ever made can even hold 'Blade Runner's' jock.

Blade Runner was lame and boring. Sin City is much better.

I would say go with Sin City but I recommend holding off on it until they release the Extended Version on BD!

Man On Fire is fantastic.

Prog5000 · 01-24-2009, 04:09 AM

Blade Runner.

Achilles3 · 01-24-2009, 04:48 AM

If I were you I would rent those movies first, don't just blind buy. Like in my case, I have never seen Blade Runner before but a lot of people on here have nothing but praises for it. So I was sure I would buy it, but I rented it just to make sure it was worth the money, and I did not like it at all.

andyman1970 · 01-24-2009, 04:59 AM

Blade Runner

This.

It's not even got a USA release yet. Go for Bladerunner now and get Sin City when they get a USA release out there. I'm not intimately familiar with Man on Fire, but if you've seen it before, then there's not gonna be anything new or fresh for you there. Bladerunner having the most extras ever doesn't hurt its case either.

Renting movies is just a waste. If you're already going to buy it, just buy it and don't throw money into the abyss of rentals.
