Like he dropped Exodus Gods and Kings and The Martian within a year from each other, it's kind of baffling in a way

can we call it an adaptation if cormac actually wrote it?

The latter

Haven’t seen his entire filmography, but anytime I look at it he has more misses than hits

with a good script, he can make a good film but that's kind of what doesn't really make him an auteur in my eyes. he's a legend because he's directed some legendary films very competently in his time but does he really have a visual style? a voice? i don't know. i mean sometimes he does.

He's a George Lucas type.. good in the beginning, bad at the end.. also just so @Beach_kneega can yell at me in public..

hot take: Roy Batty's epic tears in rain monologue and the overall production were the only good parts of blade runner...

...Plz don't kill me 🫣 lolol

I actually thought it was based on a book feels even more criminal that he wrote this screenplay

seriously top 10 worst films I’ve ever seen

I will stand by The Last Duel until my last days though.

Man shut the f*** up

i've only seen Blade Runner once so I won't say too much but I do think I connected with Blade Runner 2049 more.

Alien is a perfect movie, the only other thing that comes close to being an enjoyable movie from him is Thelma and Louise. Blade Runner is cool visually. I guess The Martian and The Last Duel are okay, and the rest I have seen are pretty bleh

Like I just watched The Duellists yesterday and it was so boring

Man has some of the greatest movies of all time
Blade Runner is a top 5 movie ever IMO
Can not be anything other than an absolute legend, despite the recent run of mid movies

Other than the last duel his movies post gladiator are pretty soulless lifeless and dead inside. Pretty on the outside (gorgeous sets, great actors, big budget) but very flat and bland character wise to the point where I barely remember anything about the main characters after watching

S*** like Robin Hood, kingdom of heaven, exodus etc etc just don’t really hit how they should because of this

Alien is also a top 5 scifi movie ever
Man is a legend, period

I’m mad he had Dariusz Wolski in a chokehold for a decade, hope that man can work on better movies lol

The path of exile is made from such posts

OG bladerunner is way more emotionally effective than DV’s even if it’s incredibly slow moving, that one (DV’s) is more spectacle than anything to me

I gotta rewatch Kingdom of Heaven but I do remember connecting with Edward Norton's character

I feel like most of his career derives off of Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator clout, and he keeps trying to replicate the first and last two’s formula to no avail

Oh my God THANK YOU!
Finally, somebody explains my issue with Denis Villeneuve's take on Blade

Still haven’t watched directors cut, which so many ppl say is leaps and bounds better

Compared to his brother, Ridley is the hack to end all hacks

I have developed a unique fascination with Prometheus. I think the film is alright but I also can't stop thinking about it.

Ngl I gotta watch DV's I've heard great things 🤔

I can’t even bear to hear this guy talk in interviews, incoherent rambling and mumbling
