This movie is was entertaining but feels so much like a missed opportunity. It's doesn't have near the character development or narrative depth and the original. And it feels like it wouldn't have been that much harder to accomplish. It's would have been worth the additional 20-25 minutes of runtime. Like most movies these days it feels like it was a rushed production. Cast is great, action is fantastic, but parts of the plot feel rushed and confusing to follow at times. Also felt like at times it was trying to cover too many themes instead of just nailing one. I'm sure making movies is really hard. Sad they couldn't totally stick the landing on this one.
The first one was better in my opinion. I heard someone say part 2 was "Lawrence of Arabia" without the depth and I'd say that's pretty accurate. Incredible but disappointed by some of the lack of depth and pacing of character development. Parts of the second and third act feel rushed when they didn't need to be. Especially considering the parts from the book they cut out. I'm good with how they constructed that narratively but then they should have made up for it by making the parts they kept feel more authetic. Anyway still an overall great job of adapting incredibly challenging source material so hats off to the director for pulling it off.
