I haven't seen it, but heard from a number of people that it has some serious pacing issues
Nah those people are wrong. Movie felt like it was over in an hour despite it being 3
These people are dumb and don't appreciate atmosphere and a slow burn
There's definitely some changes from the book that condenses the plot but it still works
Ah, classic issue of "I loved the book and the movie didn't adapt it in the way I wanted" then probably. Makes sense, I also am the kind of person that can get annoyed with movie adaptations of books!
the book has a breakneck pace at the end too
Herbert even described its structure as "coital" with a slow build up and a quick climax.
dude was horny
I thought it compressed a lot of events into its rather long timeframe, so some scenes that built up scale and atmosphere are quite short compared to the equivalent scenes in the first movie.
