Honestly, while I loved 2049, I never liked the original Blade Runner much.

There's a lot to admire about it, like its set design, atmosphere, themes, and Hauer and Hannah's perfomances as the replicants.

The problem I felt was in the two lead characters. Decker and Rachael were just really flat and neither likeable nor interesting.

I totally understand where you're coming from in not liking it given how long I disliked it (literally decades).

I'm actually wondering what clicked inside me after decades that made me do a 180 on it. It might be a wrong version thing, but I'm pretty sure the version I saw is the same one I disliked before. My opinion is just different now. It could have been 2049.

A similar thing happened with me and Star Wars 77/Another Hope after watching Rogue One, I began to like the film a lot more than I did before. I was never much of a Star Wars fan outside of the 1990s PC gaming series (Tie Fighter, X-Wing, and Tie Fighter vs X-Wing).
