  • Just watched Dune Pt1. Unpopular opinion perhaps but what a fucking snooze fest. Every scene was exactly the same, the plot makes zero sense (OK, exposition/setting things up but even so…)

    It’s just a weird mash up of Star Wars/Lord of the Rings/Prometheus. Seen it alllll before…

    And yet another film where key points of the plot are fucking mumbled AND whispered. Absolutely infuriating.

    That was a real struggle to get through.

    (Best bit for me was the Emporer dude looked like Syd Barrett when he’d got really fat and gone batshit. And I quite enjoyed him floating around like Vic Reeves in the Masterchef sketch. But I don't think I was supposed to be laughing)

  • If you haven't read the 14 books how can you say that...the same way as I haven't and was so meh.

    Seems a thing we should all admire as the press and people tell us we should like it.

    I liked to original dune movie, but didn't move me to read the many books.

  • Yeah exactly and I suspect there's a lot of goodwill towards the films purely because people have read the books.

    I didn't read any Harry Potter books and moderately enjoyed a couple of the films, same with LOTR and The Hobbit
