  1. That's what a lot of people keep saying, it was all a setup for the big movie two catharsis.  Cool, I get that, but my qualms we're about different things.

     

    [spoilers]

    Spoiler

    The music was obnoxious and completely took me out of the movie.  My friend kept asking why I was laughing.

     

    I don't need to see 20 slow motion close ups of Zendayas face

     

    And they did a poor job of setting the scene, introducing characters, and getting to the meat of why Dune is so beloved.  It's not just the action scenes but the economic social political depth.

     

    I suppose those were my three biggest takeaways.  Probably still go see the second one, just wish they hadn't shows the worm riding yet

    Whitecloaks look dope, just think they're introduced far too quickly.  Same with Perrin's wolves.  

     

    Also standing by the trollocs comment.  Sure the closeups are actors but these long group shots look incredibly poor.

     

    Edit: and all the shots are super quick cuts as if they want us to not be able to tell how bad they look.  But we can.

  3. Seems a lot is made about the Lan/Moraine scene.  Actually have no issues with this.  Jordan's writing surrounding sexuality and reality was always hovered about the level of a 13 year old.  In reality, nakedness wouldn't really bother two people soul bonded to each other.  I mean there are always exceptions and such but really, this is more realistic.  Thought the "sexual" humor was actually humorous and pretty tame.  Liked how they fought together even if I though channeling looked pretty lame.

     

    Rand and Egwene sleeping together was kinda weak but I get it as a much more realistic cause of the tension between them than what Jordan offered.

     

    Mat's bad parents were a poor decision imo.  Mat was great otherwise.

     

    Perrin married was weak.  Even if it's setting up what was previously mentioned in spoilers comments.  I thought characters of that ilk were well introduced in the books.  Honestly everyone knows everything far too quickly imo wrt Moraine dropping the DR almost immediately and all the other stuff.

     

    Liked the Reds intro, dynamic and exciting, but perhaps too rushed.  

     

    Honestly a lot of my issues with Dune are similar issues with WoT.  Rushed, poor introduction of characters, and not enough backstory.  I think the show could have used an intro like how Galadriel intro'd LotR.

    I saw it a few days after it came out (YAY HBOMAX!).

    I thought it was good. I want to say it could have been better... but I guess that could change depending on...

    How good Part 2 is.

     

    Ok so I think I'm the only one really disappointed in it.  One friend felt the same way but he fell asleep halfway through sooooo it doesn't count.  Pretty disappointed though :/

  5. Life Is Strange is supposedly really cool but it's basically an interactive story with some simple mechanics and puzzle solving.

     

    If you want difficult, play Star Wars: The Fallen Order.  The story is amazing and better than any new movie except maybe Rogue One and the combat can be very hard and frustrating.
