I saw 'prince of persia' and a bit of james bond in dune last night, TGM kept the story ticking over with a half arsed love interest tacked on and the jeopardy of him getting canned once Kilmer was buried. Also the jeopardy of knowing how he'd lead the mission he'd been ruled out of.
dune had secret assassins we'd not been prep'd for, Skarsgard rolling out of the primordial ooze for very little reason, prophecy/dreams, a visit to the oracle, giantoctopusworm terminators (Sarlacc?), X-wings, these guys...

So it turns out Neo/Skywalker (Chalamet) is the saviour. Who knew, and can even take down the top brass evil knievel in the desert rocks.
And the worst of it? Hipsters talking it up like it's some original vision delivered by genius. Could stitch the majority of it together using other films scenes and keep the same narrative. The same slow plodding narrative. Ah yeah, the ancient light sabre/Rancor fang.
How many do they have to make to wrap it up?
You need to watch Lynch's Dune
