Bladerunner wasn't as awesome as I hoped, but I can't say that I "hated" it.

I agree with this. I thought it was meh.

Honestly, I didn't like it at all the first time I watched it. For some reason I got the urge to watch it again a year or two later, and found it to be a really enjoyable experience in a way that most movies are not, but yet, I still was not sure I really liked it. Now when I watch it, it is similar to the experience of reading a poem that you have fallen in love with or enjoying a really good glass of wine.

I have yet to meet anyone that I know of who really liked that movie upon their first viewing. Not saying everyone would absolutely love it after multiple viewings, but that it is perhaps more of an aquired taste. As it stands now, if I was told I had to throw all my DVDs away and was allowed to keep only one for the rest of my life, it would without a doubt be Blade Runner. After my first viewing of the film I could never have imagined hearing myself say that.

EDIT:

HAHA! I read this post after I made the above post. So I am not the only one who has experienced this exact same thing.

Blade Runner gets better the more you watch it. I thought it was "meh" when I first saw it - now it's my favorite film of all time.
