I wanted to like Dune part 2. I really did. But instead i have to be honest and say that i didnt think the movie was all that great, and is massively overhyped.
I felt like part one was all the buildup. So this one would be all the action. Especially as i watched the old 80's Dune a few days before. To start off with the positives. Most of the action is great. Austin Butler is also a positive as a creepy villian. But the way he just kind of shows up half way through and then doesn't do much till the finale. Is a strange choise. Especially when villians already setup in the last movie just kind of hang around.
Overall I was disappointed in the film because it was way too long and slow. The plot seemed all over the place, and i struggled to take the seriousness, the overuse of made up languages with subtitles, and the daft costumes seriously. Maybe i shouldn't have gone to see it after a 10 hour shift at my work. But i still felt underwhelmed with it after such buzz.
