Reason: typo

IMHO, it was .... meh. I mean, there was nothing in it that I hated. I mostly just found it totally bland and unwatchably boring.

They genderswapped a somewhat main character (Kynes) for no reason, didn't show another early key character (Feyd-Rautha), they have the classic thing that all movies have now where bad guys HAVE TO TALK IN WEIRD ECHOEY MONSTER VOICES LIKE BANE which is annoying and pointless.

I found the casting incredibly uninspired. None of the characters had any chemistry or on screen charisma. Maybe Jason Moamoa?

Paul Atreides is supposed to be a strong youth who has been trained in combat from a young age. Timothee Chalamet just looks like a pussy twink who hangs out at the record store and wears skinny jeans. Zendaya, boring. Thufir Hawat, boring. Duke Leo and Jessica--I honestly don't even remember them at all.

It wasn't offensive, just bland and boring. The only thing it had going for it was pretty tight cinematography and sets. Those were pretty great.
