I got it out of the library, last week. There was a time I couldn’t wait to see it. Now I dragged my feet for months.
I said this about the first Dune movie. I thought I had said more.
The first half of the Dune 2 movie in the desert interested me most. The story was only a thin trace of the books. The lead character was about the only one and the rest were absent or stripped to nothing. It was still nearly 3 hours long. Everything was about getting the visuals and fight scenes in. SOP for Hollywood. It was masterfully shot with great backdrops. The desert scenery was excellent.
The last fight scene between the leads was one of best I have seen. Hollywood vs reality but excellent. You may have to turn screen brightness up to see anything. It is dark.
Even I could see some obvious fantasy in the fight but this review does a good job of explaining it.
