That's not true; almost every other film we watched after the assigned novel ranged from relatively entertaining (Rollerball, The Time Machine, Bicentennial Man, Planet of the Apes) to legitimately awesome (2001, The Martian). Outside of A.I. because goddamn Haley Joel Osmont, Blade Runner was the only one that turned me off. On top of that, I didn't much like the book anyway due to idea writing style (Dick is not Orwell), and because of the movie's cultural status I anticipated it from the beginning of class anyway, book be damned. Might I have liked it better just watching it on my own? It's impossible to say, because a lot of issues I have with it are the way it treats narrative and editing in a film space anyway.
Regardless, many of the posts here have softened my view of it and made me think I was watching it in the wrong headspace. I think I can put the hype out of mind and at least appreciate it on a visual level, particularly since I admitted to loving the aesthetics the most anyway. My hostility to it's been cleared somewhat, so I think I'm in a good position to watch it again and potentially gain more insight and appreciate it.
