re: #168 Aucun pays pour les vieux ennemis

The trailers look amazing. I just wonder if Ford has a death-scene in his contract again.

Don’t know, but I do know that IGN had very high praise for Ford’s performance, saying:

As for Deckard, and Harrison Ford for that matter, it takes a while to get to him, but the infamous mystery surrounding the character and the events of the 1982 film are the mountain that 2049 builds upon. And when Ford finally does show up, it is well worth the wait. This is not phoned-in Ford or my-agent-told-me-I-should-do-this Ford. No, this is Ford the legend, who brings a quiet, sort of gut-wrenching interpretation to Deckard and what he must’ve gone through in the past three decades.

They give it a 9.7/10 and said “…is a sequel that never should have happened, but it’s defied all odds to become one of the best ever.”
