The movie is excellent. Measures up as close to the 'original' as you could ask for today. I'm not surprised it's not the blockbuster some may have been expecting, though. Like you said the first film wasn't a commercial darling either. Despite the marketing it's not really bombastic, with lots of quiet moments and a long runtime. That could just as well be for the best, though; it's a miracle we got a worthy sequel to a 35 year old masterpiece, what are the odds it would happen again if they rushed out a third film? But how are Gosling and Leto not big name stars?
