24. I like to pretend I know what I’m saying with the big words, but I hope the emotions I mean come across.

    Snow White

    ★★★½

    TLDR: Dopey and Snow's friendship made me so happy!

    The biggest gripes I had with this film was sometimes the pace felt off, sometimes the CGI wasn't there and Gal wasn't very good at singing.

    Dune Part One was a film I watched with no context of this world/saga, which has changed going into Part Two, so of course that will impact my reading of it - in terms of an adaptation. However, I am incredibly pleased to say that Dune Part Two not only exceeded my expectations set by Part One to be an extraordinary film, but it also exceeded them in terms of a film as an adaptation of a much-loved saga and…
