    Eminem gives an amazing performance for a debut. 

    I found the story a little bit scattered especially when it came to the romantic interests. It kinda derailed the plot at times.

    I would definitely watch it again just to see the rap cyphers/battles.

    A lot of feelings watching this.

    It took a minute to immerse myself in the world of the film but worth it very much.

    It's crazy how it's still very much relatable in 2024 as it was in 1989.

    If you’re into Sci-Fi and Epics, Dune is for you. Dune perfectly sets up and explains the complicated universe it exists in. You get introduced to the Atreides family whose members will be the central to the events of Dune 1 and Dune 2.

    Dune is well shot, performances are amazing, and the story arc is well written. Action scenes aren’t as plentiful but very impactful and well choreographed that it will leave an impact on you after the film.…

    I watched this movie specifically cause of my crush on Greta Lee but damn amazing movie.

    If I had to describe it in relation to other movies it’s The Before Series with a sprinkle of 500 Days of Summer in Korean. It’s a movie about two people’s relationship with long and slow takes that builds up suspension. If you have a low attention span I wouldn’t recommend this movie. Regardless though, if you love Korean love stories watch it!

    Greta Lee was amazing but personally I feel like Teo Yoo and and John Magaro had better performances.
