Villeneuve's Dune is a visually stunning upgrade on previous adaptations of the novel, but it was not (yet) as successful as Lynch's 1984 movie in telling the story in a nice way.
With 2 and a half hours of duration, this 2021 version starts off in a confusing way, constantly moving from one scene to the next, and yet moving too slowly in terms of the story (about a third of what the 1984 version did).
I'm a big fan of Lynch's Dune, of the elegant way of using the emperor's daughter as narrator to better explain the intricate scenario of Dune's universe... Well...really looking forward to parts 2 and 3 of Villeneuve's version, hoping that they really improve on this first installment.
