Almost all of us have seen athletes whose early days made them phenoms but whose latter career days were more about sentimentality and remembrance of what they were in their prime. Why should (Sir) Ridley Scott be immune? It's harder to make a movie where the plot is circumscribed by the blockbuster plot(s) that preceded it than it is to break new ground. Just thank the gods that no sequel to Blade Runner was made, although I'd bet my life savings that more than a couple meetings took place about how one could be made.
