I actually enjoyed the film, though I’m flabbergasted that Ezra Miller gave simultaneously a great performance as older Barry and a terrible performance for younger Barry.

It was a movie doomed to fail after being stuck in development hell for years, but it wasn’t bad. FX were pretty questionable for a movie that big though.
I actually enjoyed it, but it definitely had too many hurdles to clear to find success, starting with its lead actor needing a timeout to sort out, well...(Lucius Fox voice) whatever it is they’re accused of being.
ETA: Sorry, had to post this clip. The writers didn’t know anything about how oil pipelines work, so they consulted a team of pipeline engineers to help write this scene:
Like DarthPumpkin says, the unions are against cutting services because it’s still a revenue lifeline for striking writers and actors.
As I understand it, the unions don’t support consumer action (yet) because it could lead to more cancellations of in-progress shows.
Goddammit.
Well Damn.
Did it seem like this article forgot to actually address the content of its headline? I mean, more than the vague notion that there will be some form of connection between the new run and potential movies?
On the other hand, the Peacemaker/The Suicide Squad characters seem to still be around (and Davis’ Waller is a holdover from the first, Gunnless Suicide Squad). And Momoa’s Aquaman is still onboard, though that’s probably contingent on how Lost Kingdom does.
Did the meeting go:
I felt it necessary to put both films together to show the series total ROI to date.
I probably would have liked it more if he had. Blade Runner 2049 was a pretty film with an interesting twist, but the main plot is so generic and it invalidates the Final Cut of the first film (which was great).
2049 was a pretty good movie, but it had a few truly INCREDIBLE images/moments/characters that I still think about:
it seems to have turned out ok
I’m not a HUGE fan of the original, but I completely agree. 2049 was a visual feast; the atmosphere, cinematography, and overall design was gorgeous.
He also should have stopped making Gladiator films with the first, but hey, what do I know?
I am glad they made him make that choice. He only got to ruin one instead of both.

His comment feels like a passive-aggressive swipe at Villeneuve, which is dumb. Villeneuve has a better sense of imagery than Scott, and I’m not convinced that a Scott-directed 2049 would’ve been the right choice.
