Review of Dune: Part Two

Again I'm in the minority about this movie part two It is infinitely better than part one with wore drama, action and excitement BUT it still has the same weak points as part one Long excess scenes Over the top excessive buildings and machines The failure to show the proper endings of Baron Harkonon Pauls sister removed from the story xcepy I. A dream sequence In the other two versions she was the responsible one for terminating her grandfather The ending leaves much to be desired Chain comes through and a very jealous woman and a non believer that Paul is the messiah and is trying to take over and rule the same way as baron Harkonon w as doing In the next story her suspicions are correct But her departure seems to be indicative of the sequel which reading the details on Wikipedia seems to suggest There are plans for at least one more sequel and the ending of Dune two shows it Personally I think that this whole part one and part two could have been compressed into three to three and a half hours Both movies are very over drawn out situations, quiet, slow and displays an excess of too much over the top buildings, machines and a waste of good movie materiel The money spent on the over the top CGI graphics, over sized buildings and machines could have been better spent making the movie better I personally would go as far as to say that the Origional and mini series were far better than this five hour disaster But that's my view the deviation from the book at times is like a huge crevice would takes away the effect of the book I plan to go back and re read the Dune series and see how the book w as changed and destroyed I only give this movie a 7 One up from 6 Because it was moderately more exciting.
