When it comes to Hollywood expecting anything is a mistake, other than pandering. That one is a given these days.

I've only seen Frank Herbert's Dune but I thought the new one was too quickly paced and consequently boring. It needed to be slowed down and allow the world of Dune to fully seep. There's no chance that part two will fix this.
My friend, it lasts two and a half hours and barely covers the first third of the first book. If it were any slower it would just be hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.
And they would call that, "The Making of (a) Dune".
I'll see myself out.
If Villeneuve is still the director, I would be watching it anyway.
hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.
Ssssh don't give them any ideas for the third installment.
Yea but it could have hit 3 hours if they had written in Legolas.
I wouldn't mind some 'uncomfortably long' shots of rocks or something after the more storyful scenes. Like a 20 minute segment with no dialogue. We don't get enough of that.
Would go great in a spiritual scifi whose protagonist is a planet.
Yeah it's time the Slow Cinema movement turned its eye towards sci fi. :D
Really? I mean it basically hit only half the story beats that Frank Herbert's Dune did, and it was longer.
Most people I know who complained about it complained about it being too slow at times and consequently boring. Not too fast. I personally thought it was fantastic, and I'm really looking forward to the second part.
@mhague I had the opposite problem, I felt like the pacing was off because it drags in the second act. I still want to see part 2 though.
I want to see the second too, the first's visuals were interesting and even if I wanted it to be 3 hrs long it's still more Dune.
