Did you read the books? I read into the books a little bit and I thought that was the only thing glueing it together for me. Very exhausting to follow otherwise. I liked the imagery, but pictures got repetitive and then constantly the Hans Zimmer MÖÖÖÖÖÖÖP as a cheap way to make any scene more exciting.
Christopher Walken also felt kinda forced into it. He's one of those old Hollywood guys who refuses to play anyone but himself and I'm not sure Christopher Walken is how you'd imagine a God Emperor.
They oversold this Harkonnen gladiator kid only for him to predictably lose in the plainest way imaginable.
I don't know, this was maybe a 6/10 for me
@Unending Powerhouse Match Yeah I'm not a guy to fawn over celebrities either, but if I think back to women like Sharon Stone, young Catherine Zeta Jones or even Emma Watson, and I'm like, yeah I can see that. This Ana Taylor-Whatsit is pushing it, but at least she can act, so whatever.
Zendaya is neither pretty, nor talented, nor is she endearing in anyway. She always plays an uppity sarcastic mulatto brat.
