Small Edit: The Review Embargo Info I Got Was Based On AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) so for more accurate info the time and date in America would be Wednesday the 27th at 3PM EST
dune 2 was really good, but my expectations were set to high for the climax when heard it was "Return of the King level" and i don't remember the the final battle in ROTK being only like 5 minutes
it should definitely overperform to current expectations as long as it avoids a rotten on RT and an A-range cinema score, but I still do worry about diminishing returns on monster action if the rumored 1 hour of monster screen time is accurate
personally didn't care for those years since outside a handful of movies most things were pretty easily predicted IMO. but last year with Barbenheimer and Mario beating every expectation, now that was fun
still amazing to me that the orginal CAP 4 was so bad they basically have to refilm the entire movie but still refused to take out the one character everyone is asking them to take out
i wasn't around during the day of the first three Monsterverse films but outside KOTM's lackluster review scores I do wonder how much of a effect the major movies that also came out around them affected legs and opening gross (G14 had x-men DOFP during it's second weekend, Kong was sandwiched between beauty and the beast and logan, KOTM has to deal with the 2019 summer)
