Unpopular Movie Opinions: Part III

Yes, the character starts being a rookie detective and his relationship with the older one changes, you see the difference in the interrogation scene and the first one where Somerset talks about the seven deadly sins. And then, there's the change about the detective not retiring anymore. Blade Runner has zero character development, it falls flat in that area.

If you say so.

Yeah, he did act. His monologue in the car is acting.

He's always saying stuff like that.

Not if you calculate them.

Se7en is longer.

I think this is my favorite part of this exchange: the fight over the movies' lengths as though it is supposed to prove anything about the two films' qualities.

Cause we all know that Lawrence of Arabia is a lesser film than Manos: the Hand of Fate because Lawrence of Arabia is longer.

So you concede that the film has no character development, and the protagonist comes across as unlikeable? Great.

Even if this was true, he did give a great performance as John Doe.

It's not as it's exactly 114 minutes long. I am pretty sure Blade Runner is a bit longer. Will check the disc tomorrow.

It just makes it more rewatchable and have better pacing.

Saying "No" doesn't prove much.

Notice i never bashed any director or film, I am simply saying why I found Se7en to be the better film. Nothing more.

Do you some mental blocks? You called the Russo's hacks multiple times.

That's such an idiotic thing to say.

Some of the longest things I've sat through have been 80 minute long movies that are terrible. I've sat through 4 hour movies that have spun by. Pacing isn't about length, but about the editing within individual scenes.

I think you have a lot to learn about movies. Maybe you should listen more.

You forgot about his months of screaming and whining about Lynch’s filmography.

No.

He's supposed to be somewhat unlikable.

Even if this was true, he did give a great performance as John Doe.

Or maybe.. I was referring to Scott (great director) and BR (still a quality film).

I know my stuff. I was referring the fact Se7en, with his shorter length flows better than BR. Obviously, that's not the case for every film ever made.

I just had some kind of Vietnam flashback.

Aight. What character arcs there is in the film?

That's fine, but i somewhat prefer Officer K to him.

Don't see what his real life scandals have to do with his acting performance. Also, Freeman and Pitt acted well in that film.

I tend to like Scott's work and Alien is the only film comparable to Fincher's best. For me, Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac are all 10/10, the social network is incredibly written, Gone Girl is interesting and The Game is a crazy plot. Even his misses are entertaining or somewhat, doing something new in the directing.

What does this have to do with yours or my comment?
Whatever.

Would you describe them as Lynchian?

I think Blade Runner is overrated. A great film overall sure, but the only things that really stood out as fantastic were the villain, the third act and the cinematography.

The story itself I felt was kind of slow and simple, Deckard comes across as unlikeable and, the sound effects are bad, and the biggest issue for sure was that it falls flat on having any depth or arc for it's characters For me Se7en had better acting overall, a much more focused and overall better story, far superior directing and a much better soundtrack. It also beats out Blade Runner for best twist scene too with the box twist.

I don't see how having a simply different opinion, means that somewhat, and somehow i am "wrong". Or bashing something..

I am taking obviously about the subject. Me not liking Russo films doesn't have anything to do with saying Se7en > Blade Runner.
