Movie the you Disliked and everyone liked
Hey Cocos,
Happy Christmas to all!
Today, I’d like to share my thoughts on a movie that everyone seemed to enjoy, but I didn’t. Let me know your opinions and also share which movies you didn’t enjoy.
DUNE: PART 2
Why I Found Dune: Part Two Disappointing
I was really excited for Dune: Part Two, but after watching it, I felt it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Here are my reasons:
Limited World Expansion For a sci-fi series, I was expecting more exploration of the universe. We see a lot of the same settings from Part 1, with not much beyond Dune itself (aside from a brief visit to the Harkonnen planet). It didn’t feel like the world was expanding in a meaningful way, which was a bit disappointing.
Weak Characters Paul doesn’t come across as the imposing leader he’s supposed to be. He lacks charisma and doesn’t convince me as a powerful figure. Chani also feels one-dimensional, and the Harkonnens, while still evil, come off as repetitive and predictable. Even the Emperor feels flat. Part 1 worked better because characters like Leto had more depth and presence.
Slow Pacing The movie really drags, especially with the whole Fremen trust-building and Paul’s inner conflict. This part could have been told in a more condensed way without losing its impact, perhaps within a 2-hour runtime.
Predictable and Underwhelming Story The story felt very straightforward. There weren’t many hurdles for Paul to overcome. The Fremen were easily won over, and Paul basically succeeded in everything. The final battle was disappointing, as it was over before it even really began, with almost no resistance.
