I took my family to see this last night also. I enjoyed Dune as written by Villeneuve and was heartbroken that Frank Herbert's novel has still not been brought to the cinema. Its been nearly 50 years I suppose since I read Dune and had so much hope after part one. My wife daughter and son loved the movie, so I didn't bring them down with my disappointment. I did encourage them to read the book and dug it out for any who might.
Fraz hit the just of it all in the spoilers so I wont go into that. I just know now that the coming movies will be botched and I have lost hope the Dune books will never be brought to the big screen. Last edited by srvy; 03-27-2024 at 02:52 PM.. |

I have had a couple days to reflect on this.
I had pretty high hopes after seeing Dune 1. In Dune 1 they made some obvious changes, but I thought, hey I can live with this. Dune 2 was a botch job folks. Fraz indeed covered most if not all my gripes. Perhaps cinema will never be able to meet my standards I have for this classic. The take I get is most people who have never read the book enjoyed this movie. People who read Dune and the following novels are most likely not happy. I just find it an insult to the novel Dune and to all the book fans. |

Saw it last night… I’ve listened to the audiobooks (which are the best done I’ve ever listened to) over the last few months. But outside of Dune 2000 on pc, I had no history with the franchise. So take that fwiw.
I thought it was amazing. Better than the first even. Visually stunning obviously. Some gripes with the Chani storyline, but to be fair it is a massive story to fit into two movies. This might sound corny, but I had legit goosebumps multiple times throughout the movie. Felt like watching a playoff game at certain times. Edit - side note. Do movies start on there actually show time now? Got there around 802 for a 750 showing assuming there are 20-30 min of previews and missed the first 10 min Last edited by Urc Burry; 04-01-2024 at 08:13 AM.. |
