The book is fantastic, though, and nothing like the movie, outside of fighting bugs (that actually used armor and equipment) and a few of the character names. Another one of my friends hated it because one of the main things in the book was the troops using power armor, and that wasn't in the movie at all. Heinlein must have been spinning in his grave over it. |

I was trying to embed the shower scene from reddit but it kept autoplaying so here is just a link. Definitely NSFW https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenMattePl...r_scene_1080p/ Last edited by BigRichard; 03-15-2024 at 09:23 AM.. |

Wow. ****ing incredible.
I do wish we had gotten the poison blade sequence at the end, but DV actually made me believe he was going to kill Paul. And just an incredible transition from Paul Atreides to Usul after the Water of Life sequence. Chamalet nailed it. The whole sequence with the Fremen council was spellbinding. Only two criticisms: Kinda wish we had gotten music when the giant sandworm breached during the mounting sequence, and the rest of the fremen climbing on board. I still prefer the '84 sequence. Walken kinda sucked. I felt that role was miscast. |

Re: Chani
I get why people don't like it, but I think it was played to great dramatic effect. It will make their uniting again in Messiah that much stronger. |

They Strong Womaned her, didn't they? I mean damn, she wasn't some wilting daisy in the books. But yeah, I can probably guess what happened here - Didn't like him marrying Irulan and wasn't gonna be some Royal Consort so she peaced out. I mean that was exactly what Jessica was and she's one of the strongest female characters in modern literary history but nope - can't have that in a modern blockbuster.... |

Welp, saw this tonight.
I need to settle down a bit and gather my thoughts before I make my final determination because I’m a little pissed right now. |
