Movie Reviews of Blade Runner - The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: One can only hope
Summary: 5 Stars
The previous DVD versions never included the original theater release. That is why I have held onto my VHS copy for so long. One can only hope that the original release will be included in the Essential 25th Anniversary Collection now called the Five-Disc Ultimate Collector's Edition which may change again by release time. It is suppose to, but then from what I have heard it still will not include the original Vangelis score. I can certainly appreciate the Directors Cut Blade Runner - The Director's Cut (Remastered Limited Edition), I just happen to prefer the theater released version. I like Deckard's narrative throughout the movie, sometimes referred to as Film Noir, and the scene of him and the girl flying away to Canada with some great scenery and music at the end. It seemed a little less dark with a bit more hope at the conclusion. I will snap this up in a heartbeat if this is the theater release. If it is another directors cut only release I will tell them to bite me. If you like the Director's cut that is fine, I'm glad you have what you want. Don't criticize us if we want something that was taken from us. If you have seen a movie in the theater and then seen it changed to something less, I can't believe you wouldn't want to have the full version. When George Lucas changed the original "Star Wars" it wasn't to take something away, but to add some special effects that he couldn't do originally. But I have to agree with a comment I got, they are still entitled to the original version as well. In the Blade Runner director's cut, dialogue and a scene are removed. No additions, just subtractions. So stop being critical of my review if I want the whole enchilada. By the way why don't we let the book critics weigh in on "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" while we're at it. I'm sure they will tell you neither movie version was like the book. Ask me if I care it wasn't the same as the book. I read to folks, but if I hold my breath till the movie = book, I will be dead much longer than the oldest pharoah has been.
Three comments:
One person pointed out that Ridley Scott was not responsible for the Director's Cut. You notice I never mentioned him in my review. I am aware the studio was behind it.
A couple others pointed out they like the original "Star Wars", so do I, and I have to agree we are still entitled to the original version as well. That is kind of my whole argument here, everyone should be entitled to the original theater releases.
Another person asked, "Why are we posting reviews already?". Fair question, now go look at reviews I posted at "Shoot to Kill", "The Enemy Below", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", et cetera. I posted them pre-release of DVDs to make sure there was a release. Do you think studios ignore these reviews? They do not. I regularly get invitations to write reviews at other sites and have spoken to some of the studios about planned releases. So I want to thank all the people posting reviews and voting here, it does make a difference.
You folks complaining about our pre-reviews need to go work with the kids that like to brag about how they beat a game or quest by themsleves instead of giving useful information on where it was or how to beat it in reviews and forums all over the internet. Your lack of interest in pre-reviews serves no positive input to those of us that are interested to find out what we can about this upcoming release. I hope you realize when I first wrote this review it was but a dream to get the original release. All there was is a fill in your e-mail and we will let you know if and when this will come out on DVD. The name at that time was Blade Runner Definitive Release. There were no images here and certainly no details. So I hope that helps to show that the interest people took in this area I am sure played at least some part in making it happen. I want to thank all those that posted information as it became available for those of us that think pre-reviews are important. Saying you don't like pre-reviews is like saying, don't tell me that car is going to hit me. I don't want to know about the possible future. If that's the way you feel, why are you posting about a SciFi movie? As for those claiming these really aren't reviews, you will note the Amazon link says "Write Review", I think they know what they are even if you don't.
