The pacing in Dune is fine, it's just not trying to be a Star Wars or Marvel movie or whatever. It picks up in Part Two and I was like "he did that so that normies would like it better than the last one didn't he" lol. Looking at the Rotten Tomatoes scores, it worked too:

I don't have a problem with slow burn movies. I thought Dune was fine. But the story itself doesn't move along quite well imo. The characters are also a bit underdeveloped except for Paul. I read the book, so I understood the need go being faithful. I just thought it terns of Denis filmography it took the least risks really. And I can understand why. The guy is up and coming star working with massive ip and budget. It just felt very... Ok.
