I will die on this hill I legitimately like Mr. Mayor and Picard better than the new one. It took me like 4 tries to get through the new one it is so slow and full of itself. I'm not sure what the line is for me between good slow and being a slog but the new one is so hard for me to pay attention to. I'd rather scroll through spaceship still shots with some space music in the background
It’s adapting a book where sometimes a chapter is two people meeting in a room and having a short conversation, and you get to know what one person is thinking about the conversation at length, and then the same thing from the other person’s perspective, and then they leave the room.
I couldn't get through the book either... Like I said I'm not sure what that line is for me because I've definitely watched and read slow things but Dune can be so off the charts slow it hurts me. LotR is slow and half the movies are spent watching people running through fields but both the books and movies captured my attention (I know this is an imperfect comparison just first example I thought of). I'm excited you all can enjoy the new movie but I'll take the old one
To be fair, I've read the books and love the newest film, but I can't read or watch LotR because to me, they drag on and on while moving nothing.
The new movie is not slow compared to the book though, in fact it feels like the book shown in a time lapse.
