As someone who has never read the books and saw the 84 version as a garbage 80s movie, this was epic! Everything I wanted it to be and has introduced me to a world that I intend to dive into!
Highlights were the acting (Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Jason Momoa, and Oscar Issac all came with their A-game and made me fall for the family dynamic and House Atradies as a whole). Further, the Action was amazing but not overdone, every action sequence felt like it belonged and the movie definitely didn't rely on it. The Music and Cinematography could not have been better and even if you don't love the story, you'll stay for the audio and visual experience. Highly recommend seeing it in the theaters.
Overall A+
