The more I think about this film the less I like it

As impressive as the nazi harkonnen thing was I do think it was a bit OTT and would have benifited from being paired back a wee bit. 60% of the saluting goblins would have done the trick, and seeing them as individuals not just ten million of the same blandly evil ghostly freak

There are beautiful moments. The harkonnen returning to ship at the start is proper gorgeous. The grandfather worm ride is a buzz, the climax fight scene is great too … but you almost feel like these bits would work better if they punctuated some downtime. Like corpsey says it’s all epic the...

Almost No interplanetary travel shown which is an interesting choice

That’s the thing, there is a strange and psychedelic magical thing happening yhat you only ever see the surface of because we never quite grasp the psychological depths of the characters. Almost like the lore and plot gets In the way, the dialogue in service of moving all that along. I don’t...

Yes

One good thing is that it’s making the name Paul strong and mysterious again after a long time being the most boring name ever

Zimmer is very effective. The most jarring musical part was actually the yank playing blues guitar and his character overall was totally boring and uninteresting and i didn’t care about him at all. One very effective part was the multiple voices and deep voices used when the witches went into...

It’s essentially a three hour ad

That’s a brilliant review. I don’t disagree but the thing is you’re seduced the whole time too

It was epic, an incredible show. Beautiful in many ways. But also too epic, overstuffed with its own seriousness, and some bad dialogue, as in too much exposition and not enough character. Such a vast world to force into a few hours so you can see why. The berghain nazi Harkonnen are the best...

The producer is in the comments of the second one thanking the uploader for letting him hear his own tune again

yes someone secretly enjoying or valorising personal failures is of course hinting at the fact that all those Jews were asking for it
