Review of Dune (2021) by Gittoplo — 27 Dec 2021
I am sorry but this is so bland and boring. The casting was terrible as all main characters were miscast. Compare them to Lynch's film or Jodorowsky's vision. Paul - no, Duke Leto - no way, Baron - not cutting the mustard, Jessica - bland, Reverend Mother - nothing.
Some secondary characters were OK but this is just poor. The visuals are somewhat impressive but what do you expect in 2021? Everything just lacks soul and natural energy. Villeneuve is a mediocre director taking on big idea projects.
One can admire his ambition but execution is average. He had the same problem with Blade Runner. Not quirky enough, not cool enough and not ambitious enough. But the cast is a real killer. Lynch's Dune all day long for me.
