I recently watched both films across a weekend, because of all of the praise I had seen online for 2049. My expectations were exceeded with the OG, with very well-made sets and great acting, with it keeping you hooked throughout. I was still keeping my expectations low, thanks to other bad remake-sequels. And those expectations got buried beneath the surface. While in the original we watch as Harrison Ford gets more traumatised from constant beating-downs and bloodshed, in 2049 Ryan Gosling is just... sad. Like, yeah. That's it. The plot was seemingly non-existent, and the excitement in scenes along with the music was gone. There was a full ~10 minute scene of him just wandering around the mansion. No music, hardly any sound. It was so boring I legitimately fell asleep halfway through and had to rewind back. Anyone else feel the same way?
