JamesLP’s review published on Letterboxd:
Let me start by saying, I appreciate how grandiose this project is.
The scale, the cinematography and the score are immaculate.
And overall I do think this is a good film and definitely a step up from the first.
However,
The story is slow, the world building convoluted, the politics dreary and boring.
And most importantly the 'villains' of which there are too many are all uninteresting and unimposing.
I will be watching the 3rd and maybe that will finally convert me to a Dune lover but so far it has been an average 1st movie and a good 2nd.
