Aww damn, I didn't know it was going to be two films. Guess I'm not watching it until both are released now. I can't stand watching one film and not getting a resolution to the plot for like a year or two.
I can, but only when it makes sense.
It made sense for Dune, where the story is too vast to tell in one movie of reasonable length. Lawrence of Arabia proved that it is possible, but also that it's not easy.
This was a stage production, which you watch in one sitting, with intermission, more than likely.
In this adaptation, that intermission will be longer than half an hour. Way longer.
I have no hope that it will turn out to be a good adaptation.
