Comment on Long time Ridley Scott collaborator slams the Gladiator 2 director for being "lazy" and "impatient" with his filmmaking: "Having lots of cameras I don’t think has made the films any better"

  I mean Blade Running 2049 is the rare lone exception to being a good sequel to a movie that didn’t need a sequel.

  Maybe someday another film will achieve what it did, so I gotta keep hoping, but I know it isn’t likely.

    Speaking of Ridley Scott.
    But then in an astute creative move, the sequel was put in the hands of one of the truly best directors working today, in fact it could be said that Dennis Villeneuve is the Ridley Scott of his day. Like Michael Mann has been the John Ford of his day.

    Although Villeneuve so far has been a guarantee of quality both in content and presentation, while Scott’s erratic career is sprinkled with quite a few mediocre efforts and misfires, like he gets easily distracted, and you can even get a whiff of that in the way he fidgets unnecessarily with his older movies (speaking of Blade Runner) like Lucas did with the Star Wars original trilogy.

  Luckily, they didn’t really bother making a sequel, they just remade the original and pretended it was a new film.

      Especially as some of the recycled plot points make no sense with the slightly tweaked setting.
