it was only a flop in the theatres because they forced ridley scott to cut so much stuff he wanted in it, change the ending and they added voice overs because they realised stupid people, actually most people wouldn't understand it. That is why it was a flop. When scott released the directors cut in...was in 92? it became a lot more popular. so there you are. and btw i haven't even fully watched it my english teacher loves it and babbled on and on about this today.Not-That-Bright said:

The first time you watch it it's a bit weird, but as you watch it repeatedly (I know you're groaning, hear me out) you start to get it. I hated it the first time I watched it, thought it was awful- but the more you study it, the more you get it and the better it becomes. I think it deserves its place as a cult classic, and, as I said, I hated it when I saw it the first time.
(Btw, I tutor. I come to you, my prices are pretty low, and I can give you more than this little tidbit. PM or email me if you're interested!)

I like BNW...and I liked it even on the first reading.*SHeLL!* said:
But BR...I think it might take me a few more viewings yet before I come to like it.

I found BNW to be a more accurate portrayal of where the human race is headed - cloning, the "perfect" society etc.xrtzx said:

Not to stereotype or anything, but I think a lot of guys prefer visual material to written texts....

You have just got to perservere, I hated it at first, but as we begun studying it, and watching it in more detail, I began to like it more. There is so much in it to talk about, it's not the best movie, but it's okay
