Rewatching them now.

The only thing I miss is Sting's codpiece from the Lynch version đź‘€

2 sucked, they used worms like trains. How do 15 people get on one worm? simul-jump? magic? they literally sync their worm attack at the end. Man, what a dumb film that was. Nothing like the first.

The Dune books has one great entry, as will the films.

I enjoyed 1 more than 2. With all other major sci-fi franchises ruined. Dune is all we have left.
 
I've only seen both Dune movies just once. When watching the trailer it struck me how hard it was to differentiate scenes from Dune 3 from the previous two movies. If you'd told me that half of those scenes were taken from Dune 1 and 2 I'd have believed you.

It all looks the same. None of the action scenes, fight scenes and big battles have their own visual identity that set each of them apart. They all merge into one because of how samey everything looks and sounds.

I really liked Dune 1 and 2 but those movies never had the cultural impact of other popular SF/fantasy movie franchises. The Dune series have a very clear visual identity, but that identity is also what makes it so hard to keep scenes and events apart in your memory.

The worm thing you describe is in the first book, the fighting is like 30 of a 600 pages book. Messiah is my favorite in the series.
 
I'm ready. Even if Denis took away my murder toddler, I'm here day one.

Looks like they're merging some parts from Children of Dune into this as well.

What about the Eraserhead guy making noise-music looking completely insane? And the juice box insect thing? The demon murderer baby. One of the best soundtrack ever made.

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion it is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion".
 
I've never read the books, so these movies are my first experiance with Dune. I got to admit, I'm bored to death of the ugly desert, was hoping they'd get off it and go someplace interesting/visually gorgeous or at least new for the third one, is it really all on the desert world again?

The Dune series is awesome in concept but barely functional as a sci-fi story. The first book is legendary and extremely influential and I can look past some things. The books after that gets weirder and weirder until the story is ruined.

The second film rushed everything. The Harkonnen went from dangerous enemies to clowns in the second film, I couldn't stomach it. They should have made 5 films, and built it properly.

Arakis is the majority of the focus of the franchise till at least book 5 of 6, there may be more time spent off planet in this movie than the other 2 movies, but it'll still be the main location of the story.
 
I didn't even realize they were already working on this. Dang time flies.

This isn't going to be a popular take, but I kinda don't understand why people like these movies so much. They are pretty turgid without much substance IMO. :messenger_grinning_sweat:
 
these movies do not do the Herbert masterpiece of a book justice sadly.

They are not bad, just not good enough in my humble opinion.

I don't really think it's possible to do the books justice, there's so much internal monologue and world building. To get everything in, part 1 and 2 would have to be like 6 hours each, and half of that would just be expositing at the audience.

they should have done a length multi-series tvshow a'la game of thrones. Imagine how good it could have been with 50+ hours of episodes.

Lynch comes close, if only it was longer than the theatrical cut to make it standalone (didn't they give lexicon at movie theatres on release?). Regardless of the accuracy compared to the book (the sound modules, the rain at the end), it is in spirit closer than Denis's version.

You are right it is impossible to get everything in, but you don't have to. The choice of what to include is really important and Denis isn't being generous with plot and world building. It is slow and diluted.

Amazing trailer. I will definitely be seeing this more than once in the cinema. Visually, these movies are borderline the pinnacle of the medium. True masters at work. The sound and music is also absolutely top tier. Cannot wait to see this on the biggest screen with the loudest sound system my body can endure.

I'm hoping my boy Denis can bring this home. Messiah was always going to be the hardest of his three films to get right, so I'm mentally prepared for this to not meet Part 2's highs. Looks like they're taking some steep liberties, but frankly, that's probably for the best. Messiah works as a book, but it's slow, contemplative, and kinda anti-climatic. Can't wait to see what they do with it.

I don't know man, there's a lot of strange choices in that movie, the weirding way being a gun.

Yeah that's what I mean by in spirit. It is witchy and twisted af. The Atreides talk and act regal, the Harkonens are straight out of Caligula (which thinking of it is lore accurate probably). A lot of the dialogue internal and between characters is verbatim from the book. edit: it feels like a religious movie from the 50-60's

I agree here, the dream like quality of that movie is great, while I like the visual style of the new movies, they are lacking that kind of thing.
 
One thing to keep in mind is youve read the book: absolutely no one ever cares what you think about how the movies compare, what they leave out or change, etc. This goes for all movies based off books.
 
The Oscars better do a fucking Return of the King for this series and give them all the Oscars, if Denis can stay the course and deliver another outstanding flick and close out this trilogy in a perfect manner then he needs to be recognised for it, this has been one of the best things in Sci-Fi for years, it really is a perfect flick, i can't fault it in the slightest
