The first one was great I thought, despite people labelling it slow, I found it interesting because of the introduction of the world and the characters. This one needed a little more pace. It drags for soo long. And the Bene Gesserit crap is getting irritating. The whole seeing the future is very dumb and gets in the way of engaging with the film. The prophecy/false prophecy discussion is interesting but again, it doesn't have any real weight on what's happening. The romance is kinda rushed. The visuals are top notch. But you can't rely on that to save you again. Also the Paul transition seemed to happen overnight with no buildup. Went south, drank poison bam I'm your leader now. In the end, you realize that not much really happened in the movie, no resolution of any kind. Felt like a two-and-a-half-hour episode with the next one probably coming 3 years later. 6.5/10
