Dune

 So Denis Villeneuve is an interesting cat. Prisoners and Enemy were solid yet forgettable films, Sicario made me a fan and made me go to his back catalogue. His early work, much like his first two American films are solid yet forgettable. After his masterpiece Sicario he went full on Sci Fi, first was Arrival a film i still don't know how i truly feel about it. Looks gorgeous, is well made but is dull. Same applies to Blade Runner 2049, that is a film that needed hard core trimming. Luckily he split Dune into two stories, no he didn't shoot em back to back or as one film, it will be treated like a sequel, and it ends on a high note but damn if at 2 & a half hours if this was not a snooze fest. Denis you films look great but with the exception of Sicario they are boring as fuck. I am a fan of the David Lynch version even though it is admittedly a messy and weird film. Here we get the political aspects of the Star Wars prequels and the padding episodes of Game of Thrones combined with a dose of pretentiousness. The book i am not a fan of, i forced myself to read it on a train, but i found it boring. I will give the film props for being accurate in adapting the dialect but that is a reason myself and others hated the book. This is not Lord of the Rings, this is a chore. Atleast we have Jodorowsky's Dune to see what Alejandro would have given us!
