The biggest question going into the Blade Runner sequel was whether or not the movie would address the nature of Deckard's (Harrison Ford) identity, after the better cuts of the original film posited the notion that he himself could in fact be a replicant.

As it turned out, Denis Villeneuve opted to keep the mystery alive, which while probably the safest and smartest option, undeniably left a lot of fans frustrated, who were just desperate to have the 35-year mystery finally resolved.

There are definitely clues in the movie pointing to Deckard's humanity - most of all that he didn't run through any walls, unlike K (Ryan Gosling) - and while it's easy to commend Villeneuve for taking the artful, ambiguous approach, deep down a lot of fans really just wanted to know one way or another, against their better instincts perhaps.
