Visually stunning, yes. But tbh as someone who both loved the books as well as the 1984 version by David Lynch. I felt this movie lacked in character depth.

Compare the characters of

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen by B Kenneth McMillan (Dune 1984) to Stellan Skarsgård.

One is crazy, scary and just plain Harkonnen whereas Stellan (and I do love him in some movies, just not this one) is just quiet, undaunting and almost boring in comparison.

Then you have Chani.. which left me speechless and almost ruined the whole experience. Her character was so far out of context for the Dune universe that it made me cringe multiple times and wish for another actor/character.

Dune kills off it's best actor far too quickly (You know who) Jason Momoa is typical Jason Momoa zero depth. Zendaya is of course the typical Zendaya.. angry face, angry character. Mary Jane, can do everything.

I truly despise this day and age of film making, where movie's are lauded more for the CGI than anything else. Character depth and acting should still be at the forefront before anything else.

Dune part 2 is no different to part 1 in my opinion. Both are solid, with top notch CGI & sound effects. But the characters fall flat for me all bar a couple and the ending with Charni and the changes that they made to her character left a sour taste in my mouth after the movie.

Masterpiece? In CGI and sound, yes. In every other department?

Absolutely not.

Still very solid but very overrated. BUT considering the garbage most people are fed these days I guess I can see why some people think it's a masterpiece.

I probably wouldn't have watched Andor if it wasn't for the high ratings, but no i can safely say i will never fall for this mistake again.

Andor may be for a more "mature" star wars fan, but by god you would have to be star wars obsessed to rate Andor so highly.

I can't help but think that the past 5-10 years of disney movies have soured some peoples brains.. If this is 8-10/10 then i'm a dinosaur.

Slow, boring, with a half decent but typically paper thin plot.

Just dress up some random people in some silly color clothing, a few blast doors, lasers and off you go. This is Star Wars.

Disappointed as you all.

9/10, 10/10 please... maybe if you used your brain on a daily basis it wouldn't of come to this. But like children, some people are just so easily entertained. Slap a star wars label and story on it and people will watch it no matter how bad it is.

Average american tv series.

Seriously.. the initial Godzilla remake back in 2014-16 with Brian Cranston was 100x better than the last few Godzilla/Kong movies.

The second Godzilla. King of Monsters had the ability to separate itself from the pack and to think all that they had to do is listen to actual Godzilla fans. The monsters are great, the kids aren't.

-We don't care about kids/teenagers/families in a Godzilla movie. Godzilla should be the star of the show.

-We don't want the story to revolve around kids.

• Stop with the one liners Hollywood has become so accustomed to. Godzilla should be a rather serious movie not a Marvel/DCU flick.

-Fire your writers for crying out loud. The story is SO, SO bad. It is beyond cringe.

-Get a decent couple of adult actors. (I mean the scripts are so bad i don't think i've ever seen Vera Farmiga in a worse movie than the second film. Decent writing pulls decent cast. Poor writing if you're lucky you'll get the Rock or Mark Wahlberg.. (Please don't)

-Watch the anime series of Godzilla or even the original films, they have a substance you guys will never create.

It is called passion.

Not everyone has an IQ of 60 and the ability to sit through this garbage for 2 hours. Sometimes i wish i was a complete moron. Then i could happily enjoy the endless dribble Hollywood pumps out.
