Incredible film...one of the best movie experiences i seen in theaters

what are your overall thoughts on it?

 

[Rentahamster]

I thought it was great. The cinematography is beautiful, the sound design is immersive, the screenplay packs a lot of information into the movie without losing too much focus, and Hans created yet another banger musical score.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I LOVED it, everything about the movie from the OST to the cinematography is just fantastic

And I'm not that big of a Denis Villeneuve fan, he's been mostly hit or miss for me but his Dune movies so far have been great. As a book reader I especially am happy he brought the weirdness of the books to the live action adapatation

Zendaya is miscast as Chani though

 

[willothedog]

the absence of weirding modules, again, was of concern. They best make it right for the third film.

 

[RCX]

Liked it a lot. Dune is so difficult to turn into a movie while respecting the source and DV managed to pretty much hit the mark.

Needs less Zendaya though. Which is true of most films.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Loved it. Liked it a lot more than the first one in fact. The changes to Chani are ridiculous though and frankly beneath a filmmaker like Villeneuve. How many scenes of her glaring disapprovingly at Paul were there? 20?

 

[Kilau]

It's bad and changed too much, stylish with nice effects though.

It along with the first are magnificent entertainment, storytelling. That they were able to pull it off says a lot about the production leadership.
I enjoyed the movies more than the book.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It was alright but it changed a lot of things from the book including the ending

How they are supposed to bridge that ending to the story of Dune Messiah, well I guess we'll see

 

[Trilobit]

It was amazing watching it in my local theater, which had cranked up the volume. The seats literally vibrated when they were riding the sandworms.

The John Harrison version is better.

 

[poppabk]

I don't think it was as good as part I (is that what you meant by Dune 2?), possibly partly because of just the story.

 

[Dacvak]

One of the best film series I've seen in a looooong time. Not only is it cinematographically GORGEOUS, but it highly respects the source material.

I absolutely can't wait for Part 3. I hope they re-run the first two in IMAX beforehand, cause they were unbelievable to see in theaters.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

My favorite movie of the 2020s so far, easily.

Dune 3 is giving me something to look forward to.
