Remember, Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival didn't hit 90/100 on MTC. And I suggest people here lower your expectations even if Dune top both of the brilliant Villeneuve works. 

Unless things go south very soon, I predict a similar metacritic score to those films. Highest I can see right now is 85.

 

EDIT: Which by the way is a fucking amazing score.

I don't really care. Generally really high MC scores are reserved for "important" movies.

Anything over 80 is great, just to preempt any ho-hum buzz. At the end of the day, what i think of the film is the most important metric to me.

So the other THR reporter loved it, I wonder who'll write the review.

WB Will have Rooney's head to make sure it's Ritman.

These metrics can't be 100% trusted. Black panther is higher than TDK. Nuff said

Just watch it on HBO Max like most people 

I was actually going to go to the cinema to see this but If this is gonna be another HBO max release then looks like another Kodi stream for me. When will they learn

This got very light applause for a movie that screened at Venice and had people cheering when it started.

I know it’s not Dune’s fault since the novel has been strip-mined by so many things but a ponderous slow 160 minute setup movie going on and on about The One does not make for a great time at the ol cinema.

 

It’s very pretty though.

Is it the kind of movie that wastes its runtime to setup the sequel? Those are the worst

That's disappointing to hear, but thank you for telling us anyway! Here's a different take:

98% of Zendaya’s screentime is visions from the next Dune.

Blade Runner 2049 was slow, but i love it.   The problem is that i don't think DUNE needs to be made slow

[CoolioD1]

i loved blade runner so i don't mind but how tf did wb let denis make another expensive 160 minute slow jam lmao.

[Lucas]

Wait, a Denis movie is slow paced? Nah for real though, the only thing I've been weary about - and what I hope won't be the case (though seen signs pointing in both directions) is if it's not layered enough with themes and ideas. If it's too empty and running mostly on the promise of substance in future films, it won't be for me.
