    My assumption is everybody will say Blade Runner, but not me... I'll be honest.... Blade Runner might technically be better, but I find Minority Report a lot more rewatchable. Minority Report is a BRILLIANT MOVIE, and I say that as a non-Cruise fan.

    "Blade Runner" has 4 or 5 brilliant fucking scenes and ahead of it's time special effects, but I've tried re-watching it several times recently, and it's a giant fucking mess of a movie, that could have easily had about an hour and half cut out of it, without degrading the art of it. Rutger Hauer absolutely stole that film from Harrison Ford, but he's really only in it for about 20 minutes or so at the most.

    Yes, "Minority Report" is far more enjoyable as a whole, even though it doesn't have any of the iconic scenes we know from "Bladerunner".

    I watched Minority Report only once. I thought that Spielberg was washed-up at that point when a scifi film based on a Phillip k. Dick story failed to be amusing in my eyes.

    Minority Report is the best sci-fi movie of the 00s.

    Blade Runner is one of the most overrated borefests I’ve ever seen. Minority Report wins this one.

    Actually, I take it back when I said MR is the best sci-fi of the 00s. That goes to Children of Men.

    Another terribly overrated movie. To this day I don’t get what people find so fascinating about that movie.

    TRIVIA!!!

    Did you knew that the famous Rutger Hauer Blade Runner monologue "Tears in the rain" wasn't in the script and Hauer just came up with it at the last minute when the scene was about to begin shooting at 1:00AM?
