Re: Rate the last movie you've seen

I saw Dune 2 last night, and I really liked it. Dune has been a favorite of mine since High School, so it's always interesting watching them try and adapt things. I tend to be a book purist in most cases, but i like most of the changes they put in here, expanding Feyds presence for instance (and Austin Butler was amazing; he was so menacing but not cartoonishly like Sting was in the Lynch film).

I also liked that they made
Spoiler: show
Paul more clearly a baddie. The book pointed that way, but prior adaptations maybe didn't know how to present a sympathetic protagonist as bad in the way Paul turns out, so he kind of came across as the hero
. I liked where they went with Chani, but thought it was a bit too heavy handed, but liked them giving her more agency.
