It's not bad, but it's not great either. It's a paint-by-numbers prison escape movie.
There's no "white power sign". It was a 4chan joke because the ok/zero hand gesture is extremely common.
I can't believe the medias bought it.

Because anyone who has ever been on tv for whatever reason is added to imdb and nobody ever takes the time to clean this up.
According to the Baron's plan, Feyd Rautha is supposed to marry Irulan, the Emperor's daughter. All 3 characters are missing from the movie.
Probably because if budget limitations and the uncertainty of a Part 2 ever getting made.
The mentioned it was necessary for space travel, but someone could easily miss it.
The 1984 movie did a much better job as everybody is constantly talking about the spice.
There are many ways they could have filmed it. You can have somebody explaining to Paul (the audience) who is who around the table and go from there. Or have a prior scene where Jessica tells the Duke she knows there's a spy and then make the scene focus mostly on Jessica watching the guests.
Somebody above didn't even know why Leto was attacked so more exposition was obviously needed.
The idea of a spiky parasite and it's victim remaining conscious as they turn against other humans is neat, but everything else was below average.
A few people trapped in a gas station/grocery store/diner while a monster waits outside has been done a million times.
I don't like the other Halloween movies either by the way. Michael Myer is as scary as a carton of milk.
That would make quite a scene!
It was woke and boring. Anyone who watches movies is well aware if these common clichés.
They could have at least tried to find more obscure clichés that make you go "holy shit I had never noticed that!".
We watch desperate people play deadly game for our entertainment, just like them. The fact they are wealthy is irrelevant.
The edges are as wide as the character's feet. So at least 3 inches. Or not. Looks like 2 now. Anyway, I think it's possible to keep a balance on that.

Or just running on the edges which looked at least 3-4 inches wide. They should have showed at least one character attempting it and falling or getting shot to make it clear it's not possible to the rest of the players.
The part that doesn't make sense is making Christian black. So now both Cyrano and Christian are physically marginalized which defeats the whole purpose of the story.
But of course, this is 2021, so Christian being black will be dealt with as if it was totally common for a 17th century French nobleman to be black.
It was OK for the first 4 episodes. Even if It had a lot of cheesy overly sentimental moments.
Then the Beach ruins everything with all the ridiculous videogames/anime characters. It's also clearly an excuse to dress plenty of actresses and extras in swimsuits.
It makes no sense how there are hundreds of obvious idiots partying all day long at the Beach which somehow manage to win games and extend their visas.
Also, what's with winning and collecting actual playing cards? That was not a thing in the first episodes. Players were no given cards after winning.
She obviously has growth issues. She's 18, but looks 12-13.
People who knew her before said her voice suddenly got deeper.
Trans people change their voices too.
Good for him. Never understood why he dated a gremlin.
Blue Ruin.
Movies helped a lot keeping Hitler on top if the dictator chart. There's a few movies with nazis in them released every year. Stalin movies are very few and far apart. I can think of maybe 4 or 5. Other dictators are barely even seen in popular culture.
