    Let me say this, at the top: I really enjoyed it. Big ol' space opera, inject it right in to my veins.

    Thought it was surprisingly funny too, like they rewatched the first and went "is this too earnest?" then had a couple of goofy days. Javier Bardem in particular looked like he'd just gone "Sod it" and played it for laughs.

    I maintain if you're gonna do the worm dance across the sand dunes it'll take you bloody forever…

    I mean, if you can ignore every perfectly reasonable reason to cancel this entire film, it's actually quite a bit of fun. Just, you know, gird your loins.

    Thought it was great. Barely two lines of dialogue through the entire thing and the ending is a real oddity but even at that really enjoyed it.

    How they will do the (now inevitable) sequel is a mystery for the ages.
