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.

 

[ahtlas7]

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.

 

[intbal]

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.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Dune 2020s movies are so dynamic.

 

[violence]

I'll treat Dune 3 as the last movie I may ever watch in theaters before the end of the world.

 

[ZehDon]

Dune is my favourite book, and I think these movies have done them about as well as you can realistically do them for a big cinema audience.
Part 2 is one of my favourite movies. Period. Basically flawless in my eyes. The Dark Messiah scene is absolutely top tier, and elevates the entire film. Movies forgot they could make scenes this riveting.
While Avatar has the best visuals, the underlying story isn't really all that special frankly. Here, the money, time, and visuals are used in a story worthy of the effort.

Bring on Part 3.

 

[Richard Packer]

what are your overall thoughts on it?

Zendaya is hot.

 

[HRK69]

Yeah, it's fucking great

I can see myself coming back to it over and over

Part 3 in December boys!

 

[MaestroMike]

Did Timmy even lift once for these movies ?? he looks 140 lbs and him and zendaya look like teenagers if ur gonna be some badas$ warrior leading an army about to fight some holy war put on some mass like Hugh did for Wolverine

also no more spazzing out and screaming at mommy like a little baby probably gonna yell at zendaya in dune 3 wouldn't be surprised

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Haven't read the books but the vision that David Lynch had is more aesthetically interesting.

Also not having the talking baby was a let down.

Part 1 was better

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

The only dent in its armor is the shoddy CGI that sometimes says hello there.
