Dune: Part Two (2024)
The second part is a disappointment
I was sooo captivated by the first movie. And after waiting for the second one for so long (with extra 6 months!), after all of those spoilers in press about how even cooler is to be the second part - I've got THIS O_o
It was like watching a very long film trailer, or a clip: it was chopped into weird episodes that just don't build a narrative, and have no logic. To be honest, I'm not a fan of Frank Herbert's writing, and while I'm amazed with the Dune universe and how he managed to imagine this all, his writing style is horrible (sorry, fans). I loved the first movie specifically because it lets become really a part of this mystery, and this world, and feel it's beauty that Herbert described clumsily.
But for the second part - well, it was painful to read the book to follow the logic in there, and it's hilarious to see how scenarists (or maybe video editors) succeeded in making it even worse.
Many key episodes are just vanished from the movie. The tremendously important episodes or Jessica and then Paul taking Water of Life and what happened to them, what they saw - Geez, what these barbarians did to those?? Drink - something blue - omg, she's pregnant! - the end. Really???
The final battle of Arrakeen is a 5-minute awkward thing.
OK, I'm done. It was too bad. Even the visual effects somehow were better in the first movie then here.
Drive (2007)
FOX, why??!
Ok, I hate FOX, it's official. Why on Earth they close really good and unusual shows even before the end of the 1st season?? Drive is another Firefly, very promising and the plot is engaging. Maybe it's a Nathan's bad karma?.. No, it's just FOX, screw them... 😖
