Not even close to the book...
After the somewhat underwhelming success of Dune: Part One, I had hoped that Dune: Part Two would find its footing, delivering a more coherent and satisfying experience. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
I've been on a trend of seeing bad films, both feature and short, but this takes the cake. The pacing is painfully slow, with long, drawn-out scenes that fail to build meaningful tension. The world of Arrakis, while still fascinating, becomes overwhelming at times, NOT CLOSE TO THE BOOK!
Timothée Chalamet's portrayal of Paul Atreides continues to feel WRONG WRONG WRONG, and Zendaya's character, remains an afterthought to Florence Pugh despite being a central part of the story. The performances, are hindered by a script that fails to engage or connect with the audience on a deeper level. Another thing that seems to be wrong will Denis Villeneuve's movies.
