So far, the only fully negative review of “Blade Runner 2049” I've seen

Jamie Zawinski [1] (of Netscape fame [2]) does not like “Blade Runner 2049” [3]. I'm not sure if I hated it as much as he did [4], but I don't disagree with anything he said.

He also brought up a point I forgot to mention in my original review—the score. I loathed the score, and I'm sure if that's because I don't care for the Hans Zimmer [5] horn—you know, that deep horn BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM [6] that is omnipresent in every one of his scores, or the fact that the theater [7] had the volume cranked to 11 which was threatening to blow out the speakers. Sure, there were moments when you could (BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM) hear the (BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM) original [8] (BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM) Vangelis score [9] (which added to the neo-noir [10] atmosphere of “Blade Runner [11]”), but such moments (BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM) were overshadowed by (BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM) Hans Zimmer's score (BRRR­RRRR­AAAA­AWWW­WRWR­RRMR­MRMM­RMRM­MMMM).

I did not like that, Sam-I-am.

And I'm still conflicted if I liked “Blade Runner 2049 [12].”
