Fargo.
10/10.
The Coen brothers are so good at creating absurd and diverse characters that cause so complicated and nonsense situations without knowing how they did it. Frances McDormand is very good and easy to root for, while William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi are excellent as pathetic idiots who cause lots of evil and mayhem due to how stupid and over their head they are in their schemes, and Peter Stormare is excellent as the perfect sociopath who causes most of the darkness in the film.
The music and filmography also are top.

As long as they milk something good and the milking is good, I don´t think there is an issue since on the creative side you have people that still want to continue, as far as I understand it was pushed by Villeneuve.
The issue becomes when studios push projects for a franchise ahead based on success and hire mercenaries that have no interest in the source material, that´s what´s been mostly happening with big franchises.

You all liked Dune 2 so much? Whoa, it’s 6/10, 7 at best, I didn’t like it for being a snoozefest at times, and also making Chani so antagonistic towards Paul, have no idea why showrunners deviated from the source material so much with her character.
I mean, it’s an okay movie compared to the rest of cinema garbage, but it is not even that good to get 10/10 for me. The previous part also had its problems, but it was more engaging for me. And there arr way too many deviations from the book.
last movie that I absolutely loved seeing in the cinema was Ford vs Ferrari, I think way back in 2019? Anyways, the movie theater shows aren’t of a good quality nowadays, and it’s a little sad.

I didn’t really enjoy Dune to be honest.
I like how the point of the film is to say « beware of leaders for politicians are almost all playing the game of politics for themselves ». This is a good thing to say. But aesthetically the desert looks too dirty for me and the film heavily relies on the sound design it seems. Production Design isn’t that creative. The Batman has really great and cool production design in comparison. Also it’s a bit repetitive especially the Nika wanking, ugh I mean Muadib. I like dark art, but not always apparently. I wouldn’t say this is bad at all but I was expecting more from the « best sci-fi novel » even though I haven’t finished reading it lmao

Yes! I mean, it's a fairly good movie, it has its moments, but it definitely isn't best of the best. And tbh, the Muadib wank in the book is the same, that's what centuries of Bene Gesserit brainwashing can do to you. I also realized that I'm too tired of "the chosen one" trope, that's why a lot of objectively cool moments like Paul riding the biggest worm ever seem like yet another cliche. But maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy 😀
