      what did you expect? You get what you always get. Long movie because long movies make people think its good. Effort justification, meaning you make yourself think its good because you put time in it. One hour story, and two hours are filled with staring into nothing, walking and traveling.

      good summary.

      I'm almost certain that washed out colours make normies instinctively regard a movie as more serious. it's the only explanation for the style becoming so ubiquitous.

      Better in every way

      the characters are so generic it hurts. The book can't be that bad. The setting is great, the story sounds good, but holy shit was anyone supposed to feel anything at all seeing a faction get annihilated that we knew nothing about? Like the Red Wedding where we don't know about the Starks or Lannisters.

      >misunderstanding soft scifi
      Soft scifi in general isn't meant to be enjoyed by adults. It has zero substance and only focuses on character building rather than introducing complex and interesting sci-fi concepts or some unforgettable ending. These movies aren't bad, you just weren't meant to enjoy them.

      They did that shit with The Batman too. It could’ve been an otherwise decent movie, but they really were trying too hard to top TDK. So you got a bloated, boring movie that was way too long with characters spending lots of time just walking and staring slowly.

      it's early YA ficion where Paul is a Marty Stu who gets to be emperor of the universe at 18 and have two women lusting after his boypenis. in the second book there is even a plot point where his actions lead to the off-screen deaths of tens of billions but the main emphasis is that we should feel sorry for him because it makes him feel sad. it's one of those books whose fans reveal their lack of critical thinking ability.

      They are still mostly generic in the books (they are all superhumans) but when you strip of them the context, they look a bit too simple
      paul is supposed to be a (possible) future messiah, duke is an extremely charismatic leader who makes everyone a devotee of him, jessica belongs to the most important religious organization of the universe whose members exist only to serve them and she breaks their code (or does she?), duncan and gurney are (for now) merely the greatest warriors of the universe, the harkonen are masterful deceivers. If there's more nuanced drama, that only exists in two dune books (the sequel to dune and god emperor) but these are interesting characters who live in an extremely complex situation. But if you remove that complexity, they do look kinda boring.

        It literally is not. All the character building and exposition happen in the first half of the book, as do the political intrigue and drama. Almost all the narrative tension is in there, almost none in the second half, which only works as a payoff to the first. A payoff to all the things Villenew skipped.

    Denis The Dishonest claims another victim.

    I have to ask, what did you expect?

    All of his “films” are bombarded with pseudo imitations of other directors: Prisoners is a blatant remake of David Fincher’s Zodiac. Enemy borrows elements from Alfonso Cuaron’s Prisoner of Azkaban, and Arrival, the biggest offender of all, plagiarizes the moody peril that comfortably resided in Christopher Nolan’s Insomnia. Don’t forget about Sicario either, which is a shamelessly nuanced attempt to hijack the cinematic language of Michael Bay’s Bad Boys 2.

    Denis Villeneuve doesn’t contain a single original thought. Blade Runner 2049 was a culmination of hackery and evident of the intellectual dullness of his previous films. The man is simply a proficient illusionist. He knows who to surround himself with. For instance, he employs the likes of Roger Deakins to photograph his movies with IMDBlike sensibilities in order to hijack the approval of impressionable film buffs looking for the next piece of “cinema” to fawn over. Then he calls up Ryan Gosling, still enjoying the indie spoils of his Drive fame, in order to drown 2049 in arthouse approval.

    This movie was great for me
    As my first experience of the Dune universe, I loved the sci-fi concepts. Sci-fi has been done to death but somehow this movie's setting felt original and refreshing.
    The story clearly has a lot of biblical inspirations, with the main character, Paul (biblical name) being seemingly the messiah, and going through the desert with his mother performing miracles etc.
    Not sure why people say the characters are boring. Even though the main character is a Gary Stu, I find him quite compelling. There are really interesting characters like the psychic witch, the soldier who is friends with the main character, the cyborg. I like a lot of the characters and I am always interested to find out more about each of them.
    The movie didn't seem slow to me, I liked the suspense and scale of it.
    Not sure why there's an entire thread of people saying opinions that I find hard to believe someone would genuinely have.
    Considering the shit you people consume from streaming sites, I'm surprised this movie isn't good enough for you. Maybe the main problem is these little netflix serieses have rendered your attention-span so short that you will always be bored unless the movie is 30 minutes long and has cheap shock value like a tiny man entering another man's penis

                I've just witnessed a thread full of morons making shit up for the sake of being contrarian. Of course I'm not part of that.
                I'm not from reddit though. This might be a scary concept for you but I'm not actually part of any hivemind, I make my own opinions.
