  1. Yeah, this was a solid 6.5-7/10 for me. Decent characters, excellent production design, VFX (minus that one GLARING exception), and sound design. I just felt like it had no ambition. Even this "bonkers" 3rd act everyone was raving about felt...kinda perfunctory? It was over in like 10 minutes!

     

    Thankfully the film was well paced and it's the first time I can say "I felt like I was playing a video game" as a compliment. Some great set pieces throughout. But I was much less scared throughout than I was expecting.

     

    With an early 88% RT verified from 500+ reviewers, though...B+ CS incoming?

    Big german youtubers rank this from worst Mad Max to average film. There's probably someone who loves it, too, these are just the one i'm following more regularly. Interesting how opinions vary on this... i mean, when you look outside RT and Metacritic.

    First Mad Max put me to sleep. I can't imagine liking Furiosa less

    Probably not likely they award it the same awards the last one did. Except for VFX. Pretty much what happened to The Two Towers and Avatar 2.

    Could be, but Dune Part Two is substantially more acclaimed than its predecessor (97% RT vs. 83% RT, 80 MC vs. 74 MC) which Two Towers and Avatar 2 cannot claim.

    I liked the first Dune but didn't quite love it because of emotional inertness. Anyone who had the same feeling on Dune 1 see this last night? Seems like alot of big time Dune Heads giving reviews here, which is totally fine to be, but they also told me I should be cuming my pants over Part One too.

    Yeah I think Dune 1 is a 7.5 or so, this is a 9 for me. Much more alive both visually with its vibrant colors, its sense of community, and in the narrative's sense of drive, purpose, and realization of its characters' arcs this time around.
