  1. I totally "get" the whole criticism of the movie. But I have to admit, it's a fun watch for me, a mindless entertainment. It's like me watching another James Bond movie, I don't go in waiting to be impressed with whatever 'woke' ideas waiting, it's just me enjoying a good ol' fun action-filled movie, it just happens to have a dragon (whose size seems to change, I'm so confused, how big is that dragon supposed to be) who can talk and a young woman as the 'hero.' I still wonder why the dragon didn't just kill everyone in the castle and how does she eat, otherwise. Does she eat humans generally? She's not hungry? LOL

  2. I wish they'd show more of the storyline, the cultural nuances of Fremen v. Caladan and so on, tell more about the factions but it's ok the way it is. I enjoyed it, although first viewing, I gotta say I was a little bit disappointed with how they adapted the book, but after thinking about it and rewatching it two more times, I gotta say, yeah, I understand why they had to cut out so many scenes (it's insane how many scenes they filmed but cut out from the movie--scenes that are pivotal too in the book), they need to focus on something and they manage to adapt it pretty well, imo. I can't wait for the 2nd one. I hope it won't disappoint.
