Watch the Final Cut (in BlueRay if you can). IMO the best one.

I thought they did an extraordinary job following the feel of the original. There was even some symmetry that was interesting as well- K dies at the end after saving Deckhard as did Roy in the original, K in the snow, Roy in the rain. They showed value for human life (I like to think Deckard was human, despite Ridley Scott's converting him to replicant) and became more human at the end. Deckard had a replicant lover, K had an AI hologram (I find the idea appealing). The main villain was a replicant struggling with humanity in each- Roy and Luv.

Liked the initiative Joi showed in hooking up K. That was something I don't recall seeing anywhere else.

Liked the automotive product placement, lol.

Liked Tyrell a lot better than Wallace.

I watched it again today and didn't find one minute too long. It was like getting an extended director's cut up front.
