I liked this quite a bit, but the first half or so, is better than the second. The set-up is well done, we get to know the charaters somewhat, before Mr. Black arrives.

The kid does a good job, and so does the rest of the cast really, including Jack Black. He's not that annoying in this one. ;)

Keegan Michael Kay has the funnies scene I've seen all year (and then some). Not gonna spoil ut, but it does include a nut (now you know what to look for!) I rarely laugh at movies, but that scene cracked me up big time.

If the second half was a as good as the first, I would have rated this a strong 7, maybe 8! It was enjoyable, but loses steam, like I said.

It's got some humor, some creative scenes, some warmth and christmas spirit. You could do a lot worse.

Beautiful looking with very good effects. Its visually great. The music is organic and sets the mood, although the music doesn't "set up" the scene as you might expect it to, making some of the more exciting scenes a little underwhelming perhaps.

Acting is great, characters are mostly likable. Chalamet walks a fine like between acting and over-acting a couple times, but all in all he's good.

The story is alright, I did get the names and the different "races" a little mixed up, even though it's not very complicated. Guess I'm dumb. Bummer that this is just the first part. When a movie is 2,5 hours long, I'd like to get a satisfactory ending, not just "to be continued".

The action scenes sort of sneak up on ya, but they are well executed. The choreography is alright, and the action looks good.

I liked the lore and the technology-stuff. The look of everything and the world building is great. Visually it's pretty sweet. Lots of sand, though. Lots of sand.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure Dune will flop. Not because it's bad, but because I just can't see enough people being really into this, or even giving it a chance.

And it seems pretty obvious that the studio has got big plans. A lot of work went into this I think, and I hope for the crew/casts sake that it does well.

Sometimes I just can't believe the scores here on IMDb.

Don't believe the negative hype, this movie is awesome!

Maisie Williams absolutely kills it. I think she's going to be a big deal. She relly is a great actor. 2 seconds after she appears on screen I just knew she would be great. And she was. (she is also the best thing in The New Mutants)

Some movies you just like from the get-go.. this is one of those. Mere minutes into the movie I got a really good feeling about it. It just entertained me from the very start. I also got a feeling it might get uncomfortable, and it does.

I knew almost nothing about it before I watched it (the right way to watch a movie btw) so I never knew what was going to happen.

The performances are great. Maisie WIlliams, as already mentioned, is just fantastic. Jake Curran played the most obnoxious character I've seen in a while. Sylvester McCoy is also a joy to watch. He has that thing where you just want to hear him speak, because he has.. charisma I guess. The rest of the cast is also great.

The Owners has a fantastic build up, it takes it's time, which really makes the tense scenes work. And boy is there some tension! I almost got a little stressed a couple times.

I loved this movie, even though it didn't quite go where I was hoping for. It just has so much of what I love in a horror movie, some of it I can't get into because I don't want to spoil this little gem for ya.
