Dune (again)

[King Bob]

Saw it. They did a better job with the politics than the Lynch movie (but they didn't mention the Guild at all, so there was no reason presented for the value of the spice). Lady Jessica was ridiculous, constantly having emotional outbursts. That totally ignored all the Bene Gesserit stuff in the book, and was my biggest gripe. And Chalamet was way too scrawny for someone who had been doing martial training most of his life. The other characters were fine. Momoa acted fine but didn't look right; I still think they should have gotten someone who looked more like an athlete or even a dancer and less like a bodybuilder. Zendaya was barely in it - all she did was say "Paul" (many times) and smile. It sounds like I didn't like it, but it was enjoyable and I was sorry to see it end.

It looked great. The sound design worked poorly for our home setup; I had to keep turning it up for dialogue and down for the very loud droning music.
