I'll open by saying I am not a fan of Villeneuve. In fact, I think he's a hack whose only genuine talent is making stupid people falsely think they are actually quite smart. I am also a HUGE Dune fan. They have been my favourite series of books since I first discovered them as a teenager. So although I hoped for the best with this, I was expecting the worst. What I got was somewhere in the middle. It's an OK movie, not great, thankfully not…

Honestly, I have a feeling I didn't watch a movie but a 2.5h long prologue.

This is one of the worst movies I've seen this year the movie was trying so hard to be cryptic and the director did a very poor job with the flow of this film also one of the things that bothered me the most was his timings for music, they feel very off in most scenes he put them in you see people walking with nothing happing but the music is blasting high and so dramatic which felt very off also one of the main cons of this film is that they…

Slow. Far away. Boring. Annoying. I struggled not to sleep. I must be from another world for not agreeing with the current average score.

It sure is pretty. And not much else. It is set up set up set up, and I get it, it’s a part 1. But even part 1 movies have to be movies in of themselves. The climax is the limpest one in recent memory. Zendaya literally tells us this is the beginning, in case we forgot the title card. And again, I get it. This is based off a book from 1965. But the politics… there’s a fatsuit so fatness can represent greed and gluttony. There’s a mystic and…

I really don't understand the "this is a great movie" comments? I loved the 1st Dune also the 1st Dune I saw a complete movie. Now the greed of Hollywood no longer give you complete movies but they will sequel you the death to get maximum profits on a story that could have been told in 3 hours like Endgame. I won't be waiting for the finished movie like most are but I probably will catch up to it one day on FX or TBS or something.
