I don’t have a problem with slow burn movies. I thought Dune was fine. But the story itself doesn’t move along quite well imo. The characters are also a bit underdeveloped except for Paul. I read the book, so I understood the need go being faithful. I just thought it terns of Denis filmography it took the least risks really. And I can understand why. The guy is up and coming star working with massive ip and budget. It just felt very… Ok.
