just watched dune part two, and i gotta tell ya, after being blown away by the scope and promise of dune part one, part two seemed a rushed and jumbled mess to me.

i know i'm in the vast minority on this, but part two of course, could have, and should have been expanded into at least two or three separate movies to do the story justice. the majesty of the first movie was mashed into a frenetic eye rolling dash to the finish with nothing happening that should have hit me, with the same tingles up my spine, as when i read it all those decades ago. not one scene or event made me feel anything.

but wait a second did them just defeat the entire galactic empire in the span of 90 seconds. boy that was convenient huh. blech,

i did not like it at all. imma rewatch at 2160 when i can, and maybe come back to edit, but i kept waiting for the cool shyt to start, and they blew on past all the cool shyt for 2 hrs and 45 minutes.

the whole thing was nothin but a dust storm.

That's the 1984 one right? I remember the dialogue being almost word for word what was in the book (the only other movie with dialogue super close to the book I can recall is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas). It even included people's thoughts which is super rare in movies.
