For those of you who like the voice over, how exactly does it add anything to this scene?
Most of the VO is fairly redundant. It's also awkwardly shoehorned into what is supposed to be the most emotional scene in the film if you ask me.

Oh god yeah that VO was NOT needed at all. The first version I watched didnt have VO so just like you said for me its just awkward and I find it hard to listen to! Also you can tell harrison ford really didnt want to read it!

This coming from a guy whos favorite type of movie is batman, spiderman etc That shouldn't be surprising. When people see movies generally speaking they want to be overwhelmed with constant action and loads of explosions. In other words, they want to be entertained. Blade Runner in that respect does a terrible job, but it's not supposed to entertain in that sense. It's a social commentary on where society has been headed ever since the industrial revolution: a dehumanized world full of emotionless drones who care little about each other or the environment. It's a work of art as much as it is a warning, and in that sense it does it's job almost perfectly. To put it simply, Blade Runner is a depressing film that has real world implications. When people go to the movies they expect the exact opposite. In the Summer of '82 most people went to see E.T. Why? Because it's the perfect example of a feel good, popcorn flick that presents a fictional idealistic reality. Blade Runner never stood a chance because it was/is a representation of the reality that people don't want to face.

I thought the voice over was good for the first half of the film. It completly underminded the ending though. Deckards reason for Batty saving him was so over simplified I literally said "ahhh NO!!!" at the tv when I saw that.

I do love Rutger Hauer... He's pretty badass Damn right. He's the main role in "Hobo With A Shotgun" as well. Maybe I should post the full movie. It's definetly a grade A Canadian Grindhouse movie. I like him because I honestly feel he's a fantastic actor... He's had many many roles, as both good and badguys, serious movies, some slightly more comical (Blind Fury is pretty awesome) and he's always performed his role more or less perfectly
