It's a masterpiece, but the original is The Greatest Film in the History of the Known Universe™.

The Universe doesn't know about The Greasy Strangler then?

However......

There definitely is such as thing as underrated. Sometimes a movie is so intricate, or so far ahead of its time, people have yet to appreciate it's genius, it hasn't founds its audience yet, or simply not that many people have seen or even heard of it.

Blade Runner is cinematic perfection. Anyone who thinks otherwise deserves to be eye-gouged ala Eldon Tyrell.

1] I like the movie a lot

2] I don't agree at all with your assessment

3] I think that's a little extreme...

1. Rogue One
2. The Empire Strikes Back
3. Star Wars
4. Return of the Jedi
5. The Last Jedi
6. The Force Awakens
7. Blade Runner
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
9. Guardians of the Galaxy
10. Thor: Ragnarok

2049 is great too, but outside of my top 10.

This right here.

As I've said in the past "overrated" is something people throw out there when they simply don't like a movie that is popular. In most cases the praise of those movies is earned.

If someone dislikes a movie that gets major praise they simply don't like it, overrated is a lazy copout.

I think his best performance was in "A Perfect World".

I miss the days when this thread wasn't used for attention seeking, shock value, and perhaps the mildest of trolling. Somehow, the attraction has become the thread itself instead of the films it's supposed to discuss. Ah well, I suppose it's rather ironic (from a film perspective) that Parts I and II were strong while Part III is a shadow of its former selves.

I agree... these threads are rolling with the same plan for movie sequels--- it's gotta be bigger and better... but ends up overdoing it!

The Nun was a good horror movie.

I don't know who Eldon Tyrell is and I don't care, but go ahead and gouge my eyes out. While I like Blade Runner I don't think it is cinematic perfection. In fact, I find it rather odd, sluggish, and not the greatest film made. Also, there are 10 movies I like more than Blade Runner (actually more than 10, as it wouldn't make my top 50). For future reference and possibly further mind-blowing here is my top ten:

1. Star Wars (The whole shebang. And by whole shebang I mean every movie made. Though Empire Strikes Back is my favorite.)
2. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
3. Tron
4. X-Men (the first three movies specifically, with X2: X-Men United being my favorite).
5. The Black Cauldron
6. Spider-Man (the first three movies specifically)
7. The Matrix trilogy
8. The Lord of the Rings
9. The X-Files: Fight the Future
10. Speed 2: Cruise Control

Reading that someone likes the Matrix Trilogy more than Blade Runner just made me dry heave.

You've cheated by listing several trilogies!
