Much better than the old one.
Interesting how Disney productions can't make full featured back to back Star wars movies that don't suck. They want you to rent access on their channel which gets worse by the day. They're debased and asleep. Lol.

The more you think about the movie and what you saw, the less sense it makes, and the more puzzled you become. There is supposedly a Dune 3 on the horizon, but we're not going to see it. It's at best a popcorn flick if you check your brains at the door, but Hollywood has lost their marbles, and you will have to do same to enjoy. The soundtrack is hard bass, and loud, earplugs would help, but then they have moments of real silence with whispering. If you can get by how a planet has oxygen with no plants or water,................if you can get past not having a clue where the spice comes from or how sand worms grow to magical sizes without fluid, ......... if you can believe burlap wearers hole dwellers with no water, tools, or factory can manufacture technology better than the landing Aliens, ..........if you can believe a 110 boy can defeat every giant, beast, tank, or group with ease....... well then, this movie is for you. Don't reproduce.

Villanueva remains one of the most visually compelling directors, but his second trip to Arakis emphasizes an exotic aesthetic over coherence and pacing. Largely irrelevant segments of the source material get stretched in an hour-long interlude, while the center of the story is crammed in at the end. At the very least, this film needed a better editor. Beautiful, but somewhat disappointing.

One would think that with almost 3 hours of run time, Hollywood would be able to build a cohesive story and portray characters with enough depth that I'd care a lick about them. Neither was true.
Dialogue was weak, scenes jumped from place to place without resolution or explanation, and I'm still not exactly sure what happened. And the talking fetus was just weird.
Maybe if I was invested in the books it'd make sense, certainly the islamic apologetic wouldn't have been such a surprise.
