I liked this movie and I want to see part 2 but I get what people are saying about it feeling a bit bland. I liked all the casting choices and the dude who played Paul surprised me by making me like him as soon as we got to the gom jabbar scene.

Steve Yun posted:Would this movie be okay for a 12 year old The violence isn’t graphic, there’s no nudity and not a huge amount of swearing. There are definitely people dying and some weird parts that would make a younger viewer uncomfortable but it’s a pg13 movie

I'm a bit surprised at how little screen time Dave Bautista got, he was featured pretty heavily in the promos but he only got a couple of lines and then a quick scene where he beheaded some captured prisoners, that's it as far as I can recall

That's also my literal only complaint about the movie, having seen it twice now -- some of the peripheral characters we all know and love from the books, who got legitimate excellent casting -- they just don't get a lot of time to shine onscreen. Rabban, Piter de Vries, hell even the Baron. I truly hope they make an extended edition like LOTR got and yeah yeah I know the director would like NEVER DO THAT but gently caress that poo poo, use all the hours of footage you shot and give the fans what they want. This movie is for Dune fans. If the second part gets officially greenlit, that would be the SMARTEST way to drum up interest all over again before it comes out

No way do I have time to catch up with 87 pages, but wow that film was fantastic! Definitely worth waiting however many years that was (2020 sure as hell counts as more than one). Took its time, never felt like it was rushing through the story. Epic in scale. Felt like it largely avoided big exposition dumps (at least from the POV of a book reader). If they don't make a sequel, I say we riot... Honestly, it felt like the best book to film adaptation I've seen since LotR. Loved every minute of it.

I liked it but didn’t love it, at least not yet. It felt a bit thin. So many of these actors had so little to do. My impression is that this would be far better as an 8-hour miniseries. Arrakeen was really weird looking; that never registered as a city to me. I guess it makes sense that the sun would be totally blocked out, but they could have had at least one establishing shot from inside the city looking up at the palace or something. Most of the movie felt oddly depopulated honestly, even when there were crowds. A strong part 2 could retroactively elevate this one, but I’ll believe that gets made when I see it.

Man I really liked it. Bombastic, visuals were great. Kinda wish it was a TV show or mini series. It was great setup but that's it. If next week I was going to watch the next episode it would be great. Feels like I watched the least interesting part of the story and I worry that's going to hurt it with audiences. And hurt the chances of the next one being made.

Goddamn I was so emotional when the movie ended, it was just so much from everything! Definitely feels like stuff was cut out to shorten its runtime, some scene transitions just felt off to me.

axelord posted:Man I really liked it. Bombastic, visuals were great. Kinda wish it was a TV show or mini series. It was great setup but that's it. Very similar. It has some flaws, but they’re all pretty much all caused by the basic idea of taking a super detailed and decently long book and turning it into a movie. The only ways to avoid those “flaws” would mess something else, or you’d just have to never even do it at. Like the pacing was a bit on the slower side and they had to drop a bunch of little details that I liked in the book. But movies have a much more limited cap than books, because a movie can only be as long as you’re willing to do in one sitting. But if they sped up the pacing to cover more ground, it’d have a frenetic tone that really would fight the material. I like that it kept a slow build to sudden falls kind of rhythm and thought it really worked. So stuff had to be dropped and they did a drat fine job of picking and choosing what stayed and what went. The one thing I’m actually curious and I swear not critical about : how salient were the shields to someone who hasn’t read the books? Like obviously they’re not gonna get the intricacies, but I don’t know if someone else would’ve gotten more than, “when they fight air go glowy and vrooom but sometimes red glowy and die.” Again not a criticism since I certainly don’t think something clearer like narration would’ve been any better and I thought they did well, but I want to sit someone down and hear what they thought was going on. It’s a really cool detail, and they tried super hard to show it without explaining it, and I want to know how well they did.

Film was very good Nitpicks: The personal shields in the Lymch movie were cooler. On the other hand the swarms of dudes in shields lighting up in battle was awesome Too many repetitive flashbacks The shot of Paul’s hand melting in the pain box in the Lynch movie should have been in this movie, it was very anticlimactic without Wish there was a navigator but oh well Wish there was more Thufir Bene Gesserits being bald looked striking in the Lymch movie and Villeneuve’s were kinda boring by comparison That’s about it Things I liked The way sand gurgled and became liquid when sand worms came around Most of the second half being full of surprises because I didn’t remember the book well and it was stuff that was cut from the Lynch movie. Keynes going out like a boss Making it clear the Fremen religion was planted Bombs landing on shielded targets Bigass lasers cutting through terrain Heighliner looked awesome The Voice was good Landscape shots making it clear that the spice industry was a massive operation Duncan getting fleshed out pretty well A couple lines to make it clear that space travel and military action is super expensive Making it clear the Bene Gesserit planted the Fremen religion Dudes coming out of the sand The palm trees burning, combined with the line about Dune being turned into a desert to make money Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Oct 22, 2021 |

Movie fuckin’ ruled but was too short. I would like a Director’s Cut please, I know you have one Villenueve, the meeting with the Reverend Mother was longer in the trailer. But yeah, dang, it’s not the literal best adaptation of Dune theoretically possible but it’s drat close.

Saw the movie at home and enjoyed it quite a bit. While the pacing at times felt rather slow I was never bored and always glued to the screen. I think I'll go and get the imax experience Tuesday morning and have the whole theater to myself.

Also, yeah, I wanted all the stuff that was cut out, but there's only one thing whose absence I really missed, and this is in spoilers for the sake of non-readers, because I'm going to casually drop a pretty massive plot twist from Part Two, so just maybe give this one a miss even if you saw the movie, ok. It was part-and-parcel with everything Mentat being cut down to the bone, but I really felt the lack of the "Paul is a Mentat in training" stuff being gone. I think the point of Paul is that he is where everyone's plotting comes to a head. Atreides, Harkonnen, Bene Gesserit, Mentats, Fremen; they can all claim him as theirs. He's the fulcrum of history, he's the culmination of all dreams, he is the literal Messiah. And it's important that he be that, because he's ultimately a brutal criticism of Messiahs and a takedown of Great Man Theory, a thing Herbert points at to go "Look, that is what you want, isn't it just loving great, man you don't look happy at all, that's super weird". And in my opinion, Paul needs to be the ultimate Greatest Man Possible, the everything to every one, for it to work.

I was actually surprised by this, especially with Yueh's death Didn't have a problem with the lack of gore but was a tad surprised they were so clean with it. I guess they want parents to have an easy time taking their young teens to this. I want part 2 yesterday. This was great, visuals were spectacular and most of the cast fit in perfectly. Paul is nigh-impossible to nail down, he's not a relatable character so if people don't "get" him I won't consider that a hit against the film. Also, this landed WAY better than Foundation is. Which hurts cause I really want both to be great. Orthanc6 fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Oct 22, 2021 |

Parts of this movie did feel like a bunch of suits in a boardroom meddled with it, and demanded certain things of it. The lack of violence, and how clean the deaths felt, were almost for sure one of those things. Someone absolutely said "we want this to be our Star Wars."
