There have been almost half a century of reviews for that...not to mention "Best of" lists by critics, directors, and etc. The OP simply shared the link. There's no requirement that you or anyone else take it for gospel.

Villeneuve will ruin Blade Runner, with the help of Deakins and Gosling.

I really like their PM. Only problem...I don't like the weather. But Vancouver is remarkably beautiful. So I'm definitely thinking about it. On the other hand, the Dumpster is already slashing his own wrists right and left while his (supposedly) docile Congress isn't playing ball.

As a good friend of mine says, the fun has just begun!
