This was less like one 2-hour movie and more like two 1-hour movies, and I was far more invested in the first than I was the second.
The story of this mythological western figure in black striding the desert dunes in search of great masters to learn from & then defeat was spectacularly surreal & brilliantly expressed through it's creative compositions. And while that creativity & surreality is still present in the second half, it lost considerable steam as Jodorowsky shaves his head, becoming the story of a goofy messiah-esque figure working menial jobs to defeat the illuminati.
