Current Events > Dune 2 non spoiler thoughts from 2 people who didn't care for the first one

(+) Yeah! (+)

I watched thr first a few months ago. Liked the lore, the visuals, the acting. Didn't care for the characters. I landed at a 6/10. My date straight up didn't like it outside of visuals and thought part 1 was a 5/10

She was absolutely floored by this movie, said it was one of the best experiences in theatre and gave it a 10/10. Austin butler being her standout

I enjoyed it more as it is a better movie. Seems to have more and better humor. Some of the world building stuff is done and it can move ahead. Paul has more development and his internal dilemmas are shown well. Action is good. Love the way the sci fi is done from having to take water out of corpses or the way they walk in the sand. I have next to no flaws with the movie. If someone described what this movie is and does Id think I'd love it...but I settle on like it. Usually Im good at explaining what I didnt enjoy but here I can't. I still had a good time but its more "its a good time" than "best theatre experience ever". I land at an 8/10 but 8 closer to 7 than 9. I thought batista and pugh were underutilized a bit. I still dont see the timothee/zendaya chemistry. Austin butler was the highlight. Oscar isaac is still missed
