Rewatched Part 2 on Friday, different IMAX venue, this time with better seats.
I love Part 2. I was grinning like an idiot for the first section. If time wasn't an issue, I'd happily go and watch this a few more times.
Enjoyed the film even more on a second viewing, probs because I could relax this time, though the faults were more apparent.
Positives:
One of the best films I've seen at the cinema period. Design, visuals, the cast...
Austin Butler as Feyd (doffs cap) would loved to have had more screen time with him.
The sequence on Giedi Prime.
Paul and Chani's relationship/her role - I like the changes and the prominence they've given to Chani's role. + They have great chemistry on screen, tugged on my heart strings when they were at the wind trap.
I could go on
Negatives:
Christopher Walken - Pretty sure I laughed at the same point when Walken goes full Walken. He jars in this.
Final act is at break neck pace, it feels disjointed in places. I wonder what was left on the cutting room floor?
Feel a bit sordid giving that image a like
