I want to love this movie. I loved the book, it is directed by one of my favorite directors, scored by one of my favorite musicians, got one of my favorite small time actors (Rutger Hauer), and has a real cyberpunk edge to it. The begining is excellent, and the last 15 minutes may be the best 15 minutes of any movie ever (assuming we're talking about the directors cut). However the plot doesnt really cut it, its just not very good. Meanwhile, the characters have no real development (well, Fords character has a little, and of course Roy Batty undergoes a rather large change), so you cant really pull this as a character peice. About all it has going for it is the message about what makes some one human, and even that is kinda tacked onto the plot. I still love the movie. Great music, amazing directing, and as I said the last 15 minutes are some of the best there have ever been. The tears in rain speech, followed by "its too bad she wont live, but then again who does...", and then that excellent ending of the doors closing, leaving the future of the characters undetermined. Hell, the whole movie is one string of great scenes. I guess thats what it is, it isnt a plot peice, nor a character peice, its a series of great scenes. Of course the rest would probably have been there too if they hadnt run over budget and been forced to cut a whole bunch of it (including a nice scene from the book about a police station). However I can still only give it 4.5. As much as I love this film, it just seemed lacking in certain areas.
