Awesome vid dude!!!!

I can get behind most of your review, except that Francesca Annis was the best Jessica...as well as each of the other cast members from 1984 being equally ideal in their casting. Naturally, I would readily agree that, e.g., the Barron and Count Glossu Rabban were acted in the 1984 production in such a way that is was difficult to take them seriously. But imagewise, they were still the best ones I have seen; script and dialogue issues notwithstanding. I would similarly review the costuming, music, scenery and cinematography. The steampunk look of the technology, especially, was better in that earlier production. And as big a fan as I am of Christopher Walken, no, I didn't get Emperor vibes from him here. But most of all is the character, Paul. True, Kyle MacLachlan didn't look 15, but he looked young enough to be a Duke's son. More importantly, Kyle played the Charisma Effect (i.e. of the very subtle sort that Frank Herbert and his son Brian were warning us about with the books) to utter perfection. Being intelligent *and* well-educated in that very danger, I *still* was entranced by Kyle's portrayal to the point I myself might just have been charmed into following *his* Maud'Dib anywhere. Not quite so much with all the other versions of his character I've seen since then, including this most recent one. Timothée Chalamet is good, yes, I do not mean to say otherwise. But Kyle's is still the best Paul Maud'Dib Atreides I've seen or heard so far. Besides, to be fair, we must remember that Timothée was born in 1995, so *he's* not authentically a 15 year old either.

Have a great day :D

This was a great movie but the bittersweet ending made me stop caring about about the main character. I had a long debate with my friends and they said it was a political move. It just felt apathetic to me.
