Just finished Dune. Solid 7/10, & I wanted to make a couple obser-Jasons (see what I did there?):
#1: I don’t wanna alarm you Villeneuve, buuuut you just wrote & directed the superhero movie equivalent of White Panther.
#2: Zendya: ‘I don’t believe you’re the Lisan al Gaib…’ Me neither. Timmy’s intensity kinda comes and goes. I don’t really see the buzz surrounding this kid *shrugs* He’s serviceable, I guess. I will say though, seemingly, telling destiny to F-off: dopeness.
#3: Mamoa, Brolin, and Rebecca Ferguson are always a plus! (PS Brolin, to my eyes, is pretty much Thanos in every movie now. His voice forever has that ‘I’mma bout to wreck shop’ quality that I love)
#3a: I love long movies. But there is unnecessary drag in some parts and not enough elaboration in others. I dug the space politics, totally want more or that.
#4: I dug the movie tho. That said, the idea that this will prolly be lauded prolly more than any other superhero/sci-fi movie will annoy the hell outta me. Also, color pallette is very similar to a Snyder flick but I don’t expect to hear any digs on that for this flick

#5: For a movie about spice they didn’t have enough surviving Black folks in it for my taste. Like ya’ll ain’t wanna put Idris in this thing as Kang Lightning of Salt Planet?

“I don’t believe you’re the Lisan al-Gaib.”
