re: Thoughts on Dune (Non-Spoiler)

Chalmette works well, but needs to hit the testosterone.

He’s supposed to be 15 in the books and I think he definitely looks the part. He for reasons is supposed to be slight. Maybe the good show him come more into his own going forward.

Cute boney girls don't do it for me.

I think her accent was off and that distracted me but otherwise I though she’s fine. And I don’t see how you can not see her as hot as frick. But to each his own.

Harkonen storyline could have used some more fleshing out. They weren't intimidating enough. Those were some bad dudes.

Thought it was slighly weak. I thought Baustista was supposed to be someone different at first and I was definitely going to raise that up but then I realized he was playing someone else and it eased my mind.

Cast was great except for Stilgar. Thick Javier just didn't fit to me.

I thought it actually fit. He’s not supposed to be charismatic. He’s the leader because he’s the strongest. Sometimes the strongest isn’t charismatic. He strikes me as a world wary man who is just trying to get buy in the simplest way possible.

Also that final scene felt extremely rushed.

I kept wondering where this movie would end and that had me highly annoyed all movie. Honestly that’s a huge detriment because I kept wondering “will this be the last scene?” Maybe a personal issue but whatever.

Also, does the emperors daughter do her visit in the book or was that just the mini-series? Felt that scene could have helped in some world building
