We Said: “When all is said
and done, Blade Runner 2049 enhances Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, but also
improves upon it. He has taken the seed planted by Scott, nurtured it, and now
it has blossomed into one of the finest works of science-fiction ever. Does it
answer every question we’ve been pondering all of these years? Of course not,
but in all of its ruminations about the future, Blade Runner 2049 has
opened up a future in which this franchise will continue to grow and evolve.” Rating: 4 out of 5

We Said: “While there are
pretty big problems with the basic structure of the movie, they don’t detract
too much from the overall fun and inventiveness of Happy Death Day. It’s a
familiar concept, but still entirely its own incredibly strange movie. It’s a
very special brand of odd that I haven’t seen in a mainstream movie for a very
long time.” Rating: 3.5 out of 5

We Said: “The unfortunate part
is that The Snowman had all of the right pieces – super successful and
popular source material, talented stars across the board, and the backing of
major Hollywood players… yet it still managed to fall flat. I wanted to like
this one, I really did, but I couldn’t even convince myself that I somewhat
enjoyed it by the end.” Rating: 1.5 out
