This is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. It is not a terrible movie but people giving this 9's and 10's must be in love with the smell of Timothee Chalamets farts.
Some of the dialogue in this movie is laughably bad which is a shame because the cast is extremely strong and capable.
There were pacing issues throughout the movie - the fight at the end seemed like it just kinda happened with no build up. There was no tension or payoff to the big battle, just a big fight with a bunch of decent looking CGI.
Austin Butlers character and the Harkinnen moments were the best parts of the movie. I enjoyed that arc.
The penultimate moment of Timothee vs Austin was super predictable, and executed in a dull and boring way. The outcome was also very obvious.
Great visuals, although I would not say "innovative" visuals. The Creator, released last year, for example, was far more visually appealing than Dune Part Two, on a lower budget.
Super mid movie, worth your money, and nice to look at (especially in IMAX) but giving this a 9 or 10 is wild
The first part was a bit boring, overly focused on the Fremen world and how Paul and his mother were welcomed into the desert people. In the second part however, the pace was excessively hasty, at several moments you have the feeling that someone has pressed the fast forward button, and you find yourself out of breath at the end of the film. A real shame, because Dune part one was an authentic narrative masterpiece, and personally I had high expectations for part two. Of course, the photography is always amazing, and the acting is also excellent, but narratively the film was a disappointment. In the end it felt like I was watching the second episode of a TV series, waiting for part three (?).
The plot is a mess, with many scenes that go nowhere. The action is mediocre and cam-shaky; most of the time there is no what of telling what the fuck is going on and where people where in relation to each other.
i wish i had no Memory of ever watching this.
To be blunt its just a bit of a waste of Emily's talent
I didn’t run out of oxygen while watching the film, but I did run out of patience. That is not to say the film is bad, but the plot contrivances did get wearying after a while.
Looks like the writers spent too much time watching 90's b-grade sci fi, and then modernised it
All the usual cliches are here:
- dumb Americans wandering around in places they shouldn't be
- a complete inability for people to keep quiet even when being stalked by robots
- AI going rogue
- Americans (in this case, American robots) being awful shots (but having a lot of ammunition)
- people who should die from their injuries showing remarkable resilience
- stereotypical computer nerds (seriously, why are movie nerds so unrealistic?)
- secret Govt operation being run by layers of sweary evil bureaucrats from the industrial-military complex
On the bright side, it was a pretty good example of the use of music to generate suspense in what is basically a lot of people out of their natural environment running around shouting
This is not a Marvel comic adaption; it's a character transformation study with excellent, understated acting juxtaposed with unexpected violence . . . It's where courage comes from when you're used to peas out of a can . . .
