Going against concensus here and giving it just 5. Firstly, the movie weas overly long . The first haIf in particular, focussing on the relationship between the leads, was boring. I feel Zendaya brings nothing to the role; her Chani is quite unlikeable and, as someone has mentioned, lacks any chemistry with the lead. I found the cinematography uninspiring., there were very few shots that showed any stunning scenery at all, despite the exclamations of the leads as they look over the dunes. The shots of huge audiences and masses of people were overdone, and looked like a cut and paste job. The special effects for the worms were minimal, with all efforts being focussed on blowing stuff up ... very tedious. On top of all that, they have left out / altered important elements of the story!! Was looking forward to this, but unfortunately, was very disappointed, Wish the TV mini-series had been given this one's budget!
I haven't read the book and I really don't like the movies. This movie just feel soulless with flat and bland characters where their motivation is unclear and with a hollow plot.
When it comes to the pacing and action, yes action, is was just so boring. The chemistry between the two leads is just non-existent.
Some of the editing was also really weird.
Paul ventures out on a solo quest and all of the sudden they attack an spice harvester.
I really don't understand why some people say it is intensive, epic, spectacular and a masterpiece.
The visuals and acting from some of the cast (Butler) saves it from a lower score.
Best sleep I had since part one! Go watch the Lynch movie. This is a woke worthless cesspool of nonsense RATE 1/10
Take a nap instead of watching this PoS. You'll thank me later.
This was a huge waste of time. Boring af.
