I concur. There are aspects of Blade Runner I certainly appreciate, and I think the world's a better place with films like it. Yet the hype around it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It also lacks many things that typically makes a movie an enduring classic. There's not a lot of memorable dialogue or things that are meme-worthy. Not saying that those things are what make a great movie, but many great movies, even very old ones, rear their head in popular culture much more than I think Blade Runner has. I certainly hear about Blade Runner a lot, but it's rare that why people enjoy it is articulated beyond appreciation for style. Also, I think the direction should have made it more clear that Decker is not exactly a protagonist. Because it doesn't (from what I remember), it's a bit confusing when he sexually assaults that one synth. I just wasn't a fan of how that part of the plat is handled.
