⭐️ number 1 movie of the month March 2024
I was gonna wear a Anakin I don’t like sand shirt but it wasn’t gonna deliver until Sunday 😭. I don’t love the first in my opinion it’s one of the most OK films I’ve seen but it sets up for this juggernaut of pay off. This honestly makes me hype for what there gonna do next and this feels like the hype that we got from the what are the rings or the original Star Wars trilogy it’s a real modern classic. Cinematography and set pieces blew my mind you just feel the scope the same with blowing up the helicopter things was really well done. I can’t find much negatives here Austin Butler was introduced pretty late but still had a big presence and this man can do great impressions. the climax was just prefect even the small details of Paul Telly Chani that he would always love her until the day he stopped breathing then asking Princess Irulan to take his hand was such an unexpected twist, but makes sense when you stop to think about it in the bigger picture he is royalty after all, and has to do certain things for the bigger picture until he can ultimately find happiness. Perfect movie. 9.5/10
Grade A+
