I didn't see the original when I was a kid, but I watched it before I went to see the new Blade Runner. You have to understand the point of view from when it first hit the movies. It's just like Miami Vice (and I am a huge Miami Vice fan btw) - When you watch it now it's dated, the acting is horrible, the plots were crappy.... But at the time it was ground breaking.
