OMG, I LOVED IT!!! However, my mom watched it with me, and she is THE person to go to to talk about Dune, and she said that it was good, but it was slow, and with modern technology, the effects should have outdone the old movie. But we do wanna see part 2!!!
I, personally, loved it. The acting was great, raw. Everyone played their parts wonderfully. Stellan as the Baron, grossed me OUT, which means he did great! Timothee as Paul, just wonderful, like, he did really well. I know it may have been a huge deal to him, and you can tell. Oscar, Rebecca, Josh, Jason, Dave, Everyone did awesomely. I'm going to go and rewatch Part 1 again.
sidenote, though, I wish they'd put part one in the title, so my hopes wouldn't have been too crushed. So hurry up with that second part, please, and thank you!!!
