It's easy to make a movie sound dumb by attacking only the weak points and not acknowledging why it is very popular.

For Bladerunner for example:

Half the movie is just people wandering through neon fog acting like every sentence is the meaning of life. And yet somehow nobody ever explains anything.

Deckard is supposed to be this legendary hunter but spends most of the time getting tossed around by the very things he’s meant to “retire.”

The world looks incredible, yeah, but it’s basically style doing all the heavy lifting while the plot tiptoes behind hoping nobody asks questions.

And the big emotional moments? They land mostly because the soundtrack shoves them at you, not because the story bothered to earn them.
