I won’t be able to see it until mid-March. I haven’t been excited to see a movie like this since LOTR.

Why is the entire movie spoken in breathy whispers?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why is the entire movie spoken in breathy whispers? Well, not the entire movie, but if you were being actively hunted by killers and had gigantic death worms attracted to sound living all over your planet, you'd be more whispery too. |

Quoted: Holy shit. Best movie I have seen in a very long time. Just unbelievably well done. There was so much to live up to after the first part and they blew it out of the water. Go see it. It's an incredible experience. Agreed. It's not entirely like the book. In a lot of ways, it's better. I told the couple next to me tonight, "I wish these writers were on board for the last two seasons of Game of Thrones. This is how you do a movie different than the book adaptation. It ain't perfect by a long stretch. But it is absolutely worth your time and money. (Unlike everything else in Hollywood, judging by the previews. Holy shit, do Ghostbusters 'generic sequel' and the Twister remake look like garbage.) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Even better than the first one? You better not be playing with me, I couldnt take the disappointment. Yes. And No. Lady Jessica grew some teeth. The combat is fucking retarded, but still improved over Herbert. The story is switched up and pruned. A lot like the first few seasons of GoT pruned the excess from GRRM's story. Moreover, they stayed consistent to those changes once they made them. I'll probably see it again, and I fucking hate Hollywood. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You're entitled to your opinion. It's wrong, but you're still entitled to it. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: It was okay. Lots of wasted time of Chani making angry girl faces that could have been used to expand on the lore. Walken was a horrible emperor. Part 1 was the better film. You're entitled to your opinion. It's wrong, but you're still entitled to it. It is different than the book. But consistent to the changes in the universe DV made in Dune 1. And they work. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did Zendaya do a decent job of Chani??? She was my biggest criticism of the first one, and she only had like 2 lines.... She's better in this one. She still isn't a great actress, and the preview of the tennis star (her) menage a trois'ing her friends/spouse movie looks completely awful. But her characterization works here. |

I think Christopher Walken was a little underutilized but still a great movie. Only thing that bugs me is the Emperor supposed to look like a man in his 30s. While being in his 70s. Salusa is supposed to be a Hell-world. Not where he and Florence Pugh are chillin'... Shrug. He wasn't that great. The plot at that point was pretty damn dumb. |

I'm seeing some conflicting recommendations about seeing Dune 2. Some people are saying you HAVE to see Dune before seeing Dune 2. Others are saying the movie is just fine without seeing part 1.
I've seen Part 1 and I love it. One of the best movies in the past 10 years imo. With some creative liberties. I mean nobody tars and feathers Peter Jackson for things he changed or left out of LOTR. But just curious which was true? |

It's not a 1:1 adaptation, but it's about as well done as a film can be. The ranged weapons were neat worldbuilding too. |

Just got back from seeing it in IMAX. I haven’t been to the theater in a couple of years, was beyond excited to go see this one.
Really enjoyed the first movie, I’ve seen it several times at this point. The soundtrack and the visuals were amazing. I wished that I had seen it in IMAX. I wasn’t as impressed with this offering. Is is still visually striking and well shot? Absolutely. The sound FX in the worm scenes and other places were great. Overall, I was underwhelmed. Had higher hopes, especially for the Soundtrack.

Yeah I can't take a person's critique seruously from a "Dune fan" point of view when the dude calls shai-hulud "snakes". LOL The Sandworms are one of the things many fans love most about Dune. |
