The Dark Tower - 5.5/10 - Well.... This has to go down as one of the most disappointing films of all time really, doesn't it? Incredible cast, fantastic source material, plenty of quality directors interesting in taking the role...... How does it end up with a horrific script, unproven director, condensed into a less than 90 minute runtime, with pretty much 0 character development for either of its stars? It was enjoyable enough as a time killer and there were a few good scenes but this should have been a quality film that spawned a franchise. Some unforgivable mistakes behind the scenes.
Blade Runner 2014 - 9/10 - Delivers on all fronts. The storyline is interesting and has multiple twists and turns, the visuals are amazing and it is by far the most aesthetic film I have ever watched, all of the characters are strongly written and acted, and the final scene is beautiful in various ways. I'd seen the critical acclaim and strong IMDb audience score before going into this, but as someone who only enjoyed the original and didn't think it was a classic like most people, I wasn't overly excited - so I'm quite surprised at how much I loved it. One of the best cinema experiences I've had tbh, and I think it is a film that should be watched on the big screen, as the visuals I mentioned previously demand it.

Totally agree with this review. I hadn't watched the original until the night before I went to see the sequel and tbh I wasn't overly impressed with it, I wonder does it make a difference if you'd watched when it actually first came out or closer to that time?
Anyway i really loved it, I'll echo your
9/10 and I would give the first one a
6.5/10
