-RAMBLINGS OF A MAD MAN THROUGHOUT
* I’m convinced that this was Villenueves audition for Dune, there’s just so many similarities in the direction of the two films. 
        (Not in a bad way at all)
* Oh god please don’t make Leto a massive part of this film
* Waiiiiit are they doing the opposite?!?!?!? Is he actually a human who thinks he’s a replicant?!?!?! - 40m in. 
        (He’s not the kid is he?) is he? Is he ?        
        Surely not …. 😁
* Gosling shouldn’t even be in the same conversations as Reynolds 
* Everything I’ve seen of Armas before this has been bad- she’s perfect for this role tho. 
* Why tf have I been putting this franchise off for so long 
* That whole memory scene is superb, I’m not sure who the actress is but she’s fantastic
* When tf is Deckard (Harrison Ford) going to show up that’s literally the only thing I know about this film 
* That is the best love scene I’ve ever seen, Idek how to put it into words how good that was. What an insanely intense visual treat. Wow this film is fucking amazing 
* How this didn’t win best sound design is baffling to me 
* God I hope there’s going to be a 3rd ( I’m gunna need Villenueve to do it tho)
* Ah here he is the fucking BOYO 
* That fight scene was class there’s been so little action in this compared to what I was expecting but when it comes not only is it great but it also says so much about every characters involved. 
* Oh shit am I a moron for not realising he’s D******* K** < blanked for spoilers
* That final I love you 😭 
* Ohhhhh shit this is fucking badass. - The uprising “More human than human” 
* WAIT ITS NOT H*m WDYM ITS JUST A PIECE OF THE PUZZLE 
* OH ITS H*r ONG I LOVE THIS FUCKING FILM 
* Idk where all this water is coming from but wholy fuck this whole scene has been phenomenal 
* Oh fuck me that ending. The only thing I knew about was the ending. And it still hit me like a ton of bricks. 
        “Beautiful isn’t it”

I didn’t know whether to write a full actual review like I normally do or just leave my ramblings that I always make whilst watching films for reminders of what to say in my review 
But this by far is one of the most ramblings I’ve done for a film so decided to just leave all that in because i’m for sure gunna watch both of these again soon 

And also due to the fact that there just so many more obvious things of which I didn’t need reminding about that I’d like to say. 
Like how fucking beautiful every single shot is, the lighting the shadows the performances the metaphors throughout, the boundaries explored the complexities of love and nature the philosophical questions it asks

GOD DAMN THIS FILM IS SO FUCKING GOOD 

If for any reason like me you’ve put this franchise off for a long time. Give it a chance this was fucking phenomenal.
