“Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” was just so damn dreary. The androids in the book lacked all the savage passion and will to live that Rutger Hauer, Darryl Hannah, Brion James and Joanna Cassidy brought to their roles.

I don’t think it was necessary for Hauer’s Roy Baty to be such a sadistic killer, however.

Well, crushing a guy's head is a bit over the top, but it does make his actions at the end much more surprising.

I think Ridley Scott did a great job with that film and I agree with the sentiment that Scott used Dick's novel more as a point of departure for a very different story.
