Awful

My goodness this was bad !
Terrible and annoying soundtrack, dire acting, barely audible & poor dialogue, bad editing and direction, no character development, terrible casting, laughably 'cheap' looking costumes and a complete snoozefest. Just really bad and an insult to Frank Herbert's original book, regardless if his woke son gave it the tick of approval or not. Money can do funny things to people.

Wokeness from director (paraphrased) : "There are not enough women in Dune so I'm going to change the sex of one of the more important male characters" - This coming from the director who CLAIMS to love the source material and promised to be faithful to it. Ha !

Liet, you are now a woman. You are no longer the powerful defacto KING of the Fremen and the Father of Chani, Paul's love but you are now a woman. Yeah, that makes the story oh so much better and doesn't mess things up even slightly ! (I'm being sarcastic folks).
Ughh, this film !

BTW Dune has arguably the most powerful group of women ever devised in fiction - the Bene Gesserit and the director does this ?!!?!
WOKE WOKE WOKE !!!

Also Paul was never a brooding emo boy but was an incredibly intelligent, articulate and confident & capable young man, in no small part due to his intensive training begun on Caladan, definitely not some wimp that mumbles through his teeth !

The only thing good I can say about this travesty is that it has the word Dune in it but then so does Dune Buggy (they are actually good) ;)

Even with it's flaws, I believe David Lynch's 1984 adaptation is superior in every way imaginable......except perhaps for the modern visual technology but that couldn't save this mess and they weren't particularly inspiring at all.

For a direct comparison of both movies, examine the Gom Jabbar and Pain Amplifier box scene.
That should make my point pretty obvious and that is just a single example.
Absolutely no suspense, Mohiam's use of voice is essentially non-existent and oh, the terrible acting ! - Yes I am referring to the 'new' movie.

This modern Dune is soulless and IMHO, bordering on absolute garbage.
