Blade Runner is going to have to do well in foreign markets. It's too abstract and lengthy for American audiences to justify its budget.

Which cut? There are, like, five of them.
Yeah it's slow. I think if you go in expecting Star Wars or Star Trek you're gonna be disappointed. It moves at a languid pace. But if you like slow meditating, thinking scifi and enjoy being in a different world (you'd need to watch it on a large screen to fully enjoy it IMO), then you might like it.

Make sure you're watching the final cut (director's cut works fine too). Just as long as you're not watching the theatrical version; it's quite different due to studio meddling.
I haven't seen 2049 yet, but can't ****ing wait. I'll be going on Sunday.

Right? Who does that?
Anyways, I loved the new blade runner. I think it paid homage to the original and had many of the same qualities. It was shot spectacularly and built a world that felt believably lived in.
I actually think it improved on the original in that the main character had much more of a character arc, and the story actually had a bit of mystery to it. The original is great, but there's not a whole lot of plot there.

Hard to say it improved on the original since it didnt really do anything groundbreaking or fresh. It's a visual update that does a bit more world building. The thematic questions are very similar and the answers that are given and can be taken away are the same.

I sat through it, but I'm not gonna lie, it was a real struggle. Preachy, predictable, dull.
