I've never read the books and only seen Lynch Dune so I'm no lore expert. But what I've seen is well made, coherent, well acted good looking piece of sci-fi drama. I just liked what I saw. No plot holes, great CG, great worldbuilding. Maybe rushed a bit but You will get plot just fine.

I've always heard Wicker Man was a cult classic and unfortunately I don't see why. The story is fine, policeman looking a missing girl on an island run by some strange cult. And that's all there is a lot of strange pagan rituals and no horror elements, no creepy factor or tension. But there is a bit of singing. Movie is well made Christopher Lee is always a joy to watch. On the other hand Edward Woodward who plays policeman is annoying a real fool and catholic biggot. Maybe the 85 minutes version I've seen was butchered. Maybe if I haven't seen first the 2006 remake and sort of remake Midsommar ending would made some impact on me. Maybe. But as it is The Wicker Man was just ok.

So what's good. Nice setting and atmosphere. We have a idyllic village with dark secrets. Everything looks so colorful and lively with something creepy in background. Story pulls you in at first Actors do an okay job. The bad in Midsommar is that it's predictable almost remake of some movie I will not mention. I did not care about the main heroine played by Florence Pugh. I found her annoying at best also rest of the cast was a bit forgetable. Story also never goes anywere outside of main plot.
