Literally Absolute Cinema

this is a very good review. Kind of my experience as well. Been so long since we've seen cinema, that many people do not know what to make of it when they see it. For people saying it was slow or boring, they should be forced to go see Lawrence of Arabia on a big screen, and review that. If they say boring or slow, then we know.

It's Lisan al Gaib!!!

Sorry, but no. If this adaptation was created fro newcommers it failed because it left out too many detials about the world. If this adaptation was created for book readers then it was also a faliure because it changed the story just to put Chani into the focus and dumbed down the story. The miniseries made in 2000 was a much better adaptation because it stayed true to the book. If you say that Dune 2 was great cinema, from a movie making point of view, i agree with you, it will get a lot of praise and awards, but that is only because the movie industry is on a pretty low spot right now, as an adaptation it failed.

Slow paced, pretentious borefest, like the first one.

People want to see great movies in the cinema, but what they don't want is being insulted by some neomarxist woke crap movie. It is also a warning for the next James Bond and Star Wars directors. The upcoming movies have to be epic, definitely not woke. I even suspect that the true motive of woke is: make crap out of selfhate and really disappoint people so that the movies ends up in serious debt. Don't end up like nearly broke Disney with their disgusting "Snowwoke and the seven magic creatures" or broke Bud with their woke beer commercial. It will cost you billions. People don't want woke. They don't, seriously. Dune 2 is one of these epic movies that makes people happy and the cash flow.
