Watched Dune (2021) and was impressed with the visuals. Maybe the fact that it is a 2 part film, they didn’t want to spoil all the sand worm glory in this go-around. Kinda reminds me of the Krayt Dragon from Mandalorian.
I did enjoy it overall except what I thought were minor quirks (which I won’t point out without spoiling the film for others).
It was … not very good. It was extremely slow-paced, the main character was unlikeable, and there were a couple major plot holes. I was surprised. An actual bad Tom Hanks movie. I didn’t think there was such a thing.
posted my opinion before, and these
are from friends/family who saw it.
essentially, there were 5 types:
1. those who read the book(s). they are fans and might see it again.
2. teenagers who did not read the book and did not like this boooring movie.
3. children who did not understand much, but liked going to see any movie.
4. women in general did not like it. especially my two sisters and their daughters.
4. fathers who were dragged to the movie under duress. they used profanity afterwards.
When I was young I bought it on DVD to watch because gladiators. Boy was I disappointed. The way I remember it those fight scenes were some real stinkers. They had better film duels in the 1930s! :person_facepalming:
Since you’re our resident expert (pun intended ) on Resident Evil, how would you rank the SEVEN movies of the franchise? I’m not a huge fan of this genre, so if you could pick just one or two movies you’d say are the best of the Resident Evil series, what would they be?
I liked it! Better than I expected. Of course, highly disappointing that this is only part one… leaving us hanging. And it’s quite long. A few things depicted differently than I hoped. But overall… quite good & respectful of the book.
