The craftsmanship that went into the story, the score, the special effects, the fighting, everything was done perfectly. I can't wait to see it again and again, I absolutely loved it.
Hans Zimmer is the best. Can't wait to see this

It's literally said in the post we were responding to, but I guess no one misses a chance to try to be smarmy or sarcastic.

Zendaya is just terrible, she really has ruined the Dune movies for me. To think of what could have been with all the other incredibly talented actresses in her age range, it must have simply come down to her being happening at the moment and the her look working in the desert like setting. Certainly wasn't her acting.

I knew I wasn't mistaken in reading "movies", which implies the first one..and somehow the second one too despite not having seen it yet?

Seems a little unfair to Villeneuve and Zimmer. Personally, I'll usually let the movie speak for itself before deciding an actor has ruined it, but to each their own.

They said movies. The s means it’s plural. That would lead me to believe they meant dune 1 and 2.

Don't know what to tell you guys, I was hyped when I first heard Denis Villeneuve was remaking Dune but the casting really #### the bed. Zendaya is a terrible actress, I don't enjoy watching her and I'm not looking forward to her increased screentime in part 2.

That being said, I'll still likely hit it twice in the theaters and enjoy everything else about it. Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors, it will be great regardless.

Zendaya is the best part of the recent Spider-Man reboots.

Fight me.

Came here to say this. She's a powerhouse in that series.

She is very talented, being cast as the lead's girlfriend is well below her grade IMO.

Honestly, its the only thing I've liked her in.

I thought she kind of wooden in Spider-Man and pretty much the dead weight of that trio, I havent seen Euphoria so I cant comment.

The Greatest Showman is really the only thing where I can say that I liked her talent. I thought she was awesome, but hell, I loved that movie. I'd tell you that I thought Zac Efron did a great job in that movie.

And I literally loathe Zac Efron. I think he's a dumb meathead.

I haven't seen anything else Efron has done but I liked him in The Iron Claw, probably because he plays a dumb meathead.

The Iron Claw rules and he's really good in it. I think if it had some out sooner he'd have had more Oscar buzz.

After watching Dune 2 I was inspired to watch another great sci Fi sequel so I watched Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan. I think it's one of the best sci Fi films ever, just a masterpiece in filmmaking. I decided this year to watch the rest of the franchise, I'm excited to see 3-10.

Neighbors (series of films), Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Hairspray etc.

He's not going to win awards for this work, but I was thoroughly entertained by all of these. He's a fun actor to watch.

I dont like any of these movies.

But whatever, its personal preference. I thought he was fine in 17 Again, but beyond that...again, I thought he was excellent in The Greatest Showman, but thats about it.
