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.
