Just watched the second part of the new Dune, it was a bit of a struggle. I'm pretty obsessive about the Lynch adaption and I often find this new cinema take quite po-faced and often risible. Examples of that would be the desert walk seeming quite silly, the current take on the Baron and when characters use the voice. It reminds me of when I watched Red Dragon after first seeing Manhunter. Sorry.

I'll probably end up picking up a bd copy at a cheap price (like I eventually did with the first one). My wife hasn't seen these and I should imagine that if I'm struggling, that will be amplified for her. I realise that I'm a minority voice here. I'm still not sure how the brilliant Blade Runner sequel tanked at the box office yet these have done so well.
