This has easily been my most anticipated film of this year (for quite some time) The trailers have been aces . Just curious about the running time...I've heard/read its set at 163 minutes .:-) Not that is a bad thing at all because I trust the director. Has anyone else read conflicting reports?

Damn, Jared Leto killed that.

This is going to be great.

Some film critics have already seen this and are blown away by it. Some of them even calling it a "masterpiece". God I can't wait!

He's a great actor. I recently rewatched Lord of War - his performance in that was Oscar worthy.

The first ten minutes of this movie will be nothing but Harrison Ford eating chicken fingers in total silence.

Hey look there - Scott Mendelson from Forbes didn't like it. Who would have guessed?

I enjoyed it a lot. Not as much as the original, but that's a tough act to follow.

The good:

Well made and well acted. Obviously breathtaking special effects. Thoughtful story that, while a times bit predictable, takes a nice twist at the end. I particularly liked the relationship between the main character and his girlfriend, which I won't elaborate on. Enough nods to the original to be nostalgic without being duplicative. And look for Part III, because it definitely sets up another sequel.

The not so good:

It was probably a bit too long and a little too in love with itself. The score was often too loud and at times a bit jarring - I found myself missing Vangelis' work quite a bit. That's probably my biggest complaint. And the primary villain paled in comparison to Hauer's Roy Batty, but again, those are big shoes to fill. Leto was excellent as usual, but I wish he'd been in the movie a bit more.

Certainly a better follow-up to the originals than the new Alien stuff is.

Anyway, it mostly rocked. Definitely passed the I-Don't-Feel-Cheated test. I recommend it.

Now I know there's a twist! :-)
