"Dune: Part Two" has all the elements to make the amazing cinema experience. When you watch this film, you can really dig into the world, feel it, almost touch it, could I say. It have all of the things we need, tragedy, action, and of course a little bit of humor from time to time. The first film (Dune: Part One) was definitely an overrated average film that I can't say I enjoyed to much. It didn't felt complete, had many lacks and unfinished details in the story, and the action was generally speaking really boring. Now the sequel, was on a way different level, and it's really rare to say that a sequel is better than the original, but in this case it is true. The plot goes straight after the first one, continuing the battle for the injustice of this dark and cruel world. New characters, enemies, secrets to be revealed, and everything has to end with one word: War. I can start to say how much this film feels like reality. In Dune, the people dealing with the problems on their planets, feels exactly how the wars, revolutions and aspects humanity had over centuries. This film couldn't show it any better. Including some real prophecy stuff involved here, I almost felt Timothée Chalamet was the walking Jesus talking for the good, besides that Jesus didn't master martial arts or any fighting technics of some sort🙂 The character development was also a strong part of the plot, and the characters felt much more important to me that before. The first hour of "Dune: Part Two" were Paul Atreides was teached the way of being a Fremen (The Desert People) felt almost to me like "Avatar: The Way of Water" when the forest people had to learn from the water people to survive in the new place. I felt the reference was strong here, but not if it was a bad thing, of course. Now jumping over to the technicals and camera, that I think carried a big part of the film, really the atmosphere. The camera filming, usage of the shadows and light, as well as the very interesting angles, smooth montage, and epic editing with the amazing music score, couldn't have made it more of a cinematic experience. They had some very interesting ideas of showing things, for example a baby inside a mother's stomach, and such graphic illusion of that I have never seen before. The runtime was good, and I didn't really felt bored, I was entertained all the time, and I can't wait to see the sequel: "Dune: Part Three", that will debut after some years. So concluding, yes, you should watch this, it was much better than the first one, and it is an experience you are going to remember!

This series goes by many names, so I will easily just say "17" as it was the name of the first original season that debuted almost six years ago. I decided to finish the series and after watching all of the four seasons I can say that Nrk (Norwegian Broadcast Corporation) had made a little franchise. This one is one of the better Norwegian hood shows I have seen, including that it is so clever and well developed with everything. In every season there is a new main character, in the first we have a guy called Abdi, season two Emrah, season three Ibo and season four Aisha. And it's not like some random story with new characters that just come for the sake of a new season, no. All of the four characters are connected in the same story, same timeline, but every season uses its time to explore each other and look at different persons perspectives. Personally I think it was a very good idea, it was very smart and a good way to show multiculturalism in Norway, no matter of color, culture or country you and your family comes from. The series does also show perfectly the society in a Norwegian place called Stovner (You live in Norway Oslo then you know) and how many people are judging this place because of a higher criminal level and the high amount of foreigners that many people do not like. It shows that even if there is criminality, it isn't always like that all the time. It shows that Stovner can be something much more, and not only as people might think from reading the news. Back to the other things, I think the acting was very good, mostly teenagers, but on a very high class of acting for such age and I don't know, everyone was good at expressing themselves and performing their roles well. The script and dialogues are very solid for a low budget production that is made for the age group for teenagers, and other factors like music, fast paced editing and build-up suspense, was things that made the series very watchable. Each episode last from 5-20 minutes, and those kind of short episodes are fast to go through, you don't get bored, and the story does really carrie on most of the way. There are some boring moments from time to time that I would personally thought could be much more interestingly made, but in the end, this series is very clever and can teach us a lot about teenage growing up, prejudices, and how hard it can be to be different. I do recommend it, but mostly the first two seasons (The last two are good to but the first two are the absolute best).

Just watched "Dune: Part One", and as I walked out of the theatre I got the review title already: "Average and Overrated" that personally for me is the best description of the film. It tried very hard to stick out as an outstanding movie, as a movie we supposedly haven't seen before, something that would shock us! Well, I didn't get that feeling at all. Why? First of the story. It told about conflicts we have seen before, like battle with good and evil, battle for the highest power, and the part of being in a society and fighting each other for survival. We have all seen it before, and unfortunately, the film did have a huge problem with building up the excitement. I just didn't felt the story, the characters, they weren't gripping (As well as the story) and I don't know, it was that small parts and details that could have been changed to make the film much more enjoyable. I got to mention the ending to, that I unfortunately didn't like either, you know how movies ends with a cliffhanger and you want to see the second part right away? I didn't get the feeling here. The epicness was missing, as well as the action and the music they picked for the ending just wasn't it. Fortunately, many good sides saves the rating a lot, and I can mention them now right away, as the cons are taken. What was really good about this film that saved its skin was the scenography and overall camera filming. Stunning angles, as well as good usage of shadow and light. The scenography looked very real and it was clearly that it was a high budget going on here. The acting was fine, and the music soundtrack did fit the atmosphere of the place and I overall really appreciated it. Now now, Dune had good moments, but mostly small action sequences that carried two stars of the rating. In the end, Dune: Part One was average, and is definitely a good enough popcorn entertainment. Should you watch it? Not really. But if you look at movies only from the scenography side, then this is just for you!
