I thought this movie was downright awful. From the score, script, plot, costumes, acting, directing, shots, etc. I've watched daytime soaps and 80s trash with better acting. There's no conviction behind anything the actors are saying. Did they buy the costumes from a temporary Halloween store in an empty mall? All the Islamic stuff was forced in. Everything looks too clean which was my problem with BR2049. In fact it's slower and longer than BR2049 but even more unimaginable.

Denis is a total hack. BR2049 was utterly pointless and this is just straight garbage. You know its bad when I'd rather watch a Zack Snyder movie over this, hell I'll even take Batman v Superman. Marvel movies are better than this, and all those are just amusement rides with dumb jokes. This is absolutely worse than Lynch's Dune. And Lynch's version has its own problems, sure like the hamfisted acting and the melodramatic inner monologue crap. But kudos to Lynch for trying to detangle such an intricate story without watering it down too much for the masses. The visuals are still amazing and you get the sense of each distinct culture. Everything has a distinct look to it from the costumes, to the effects and even vehicles. It's a beautifully cohesive imaginative work.

Denis' Dune is like the opposite, nothing too melodramtic but yet zero imagination and the story too simplified.

Dune is just impossible to make as a movie. So much of that book is about world building and exposition and internal dialogue and so on.

so this is a copy paste of a review by a marvel fanboy mad at dennis over his comments about marvel movies right

do the books explain why vlad is only a baron while leto is a duke? they both seem to have their own entire planet and be comparably powerful before the events of dune

The Lynch version pulls off pretty much everything except the Toto-scored Flash Gordon-esque battle scene in the climax. It's too camp for the tone of the movie, but not camp enough to be entertaining.

the constant referral and comparison to the ‘84 version is excessive and unnecessary.

it's also totally inevitable and asking people not to do it is like asking the sun not to rise

my problem with this scene is that both factions in the battle are wearing nearly identical suits in nearly identical colors. as an audience member, i can only differentiate them because one is on the left side of the screen while the other is on the right side of the screen

You don’t need to be able to differentiate them in that scene. The point is that Paul’s having a vision of being involved in violence and death.

That game for real owns, when we first played it we were all sort of worried at first because it seems incredibly complex but after the first turn everything just flows so well and it does an amazing job working the plans within plans/alliances/loving people over stuff into what honestly can be a pretty fast paced game. Really impressive and I totally see why it has such a cult following.

Yeah I had a great time with it. I played as the spacer's guild and opened up by hotdropping a huge force onto Carthag which promptly got obliterated when it turned out the commander was in the Harkonnens' pocket. I recovered somewhat from that but despite being rich as gently caress (other players have to pay the guild every time they land troops from space), didn't have the manpower to dislodge the two strong alliances that were dominating the game. But I was able to bankroll two more-or-less elimated factions (including the Harkonnens) back into the game which were enough to stop any of the big players from achieving a victory condition before the final turn... and the spacer's guild wins if nobody else does by then :agesilaus::hf::homebrew:

It's the sequel to the third movie version of a book that came out in 1965.

The statute of limitations on spoilers has run the gently caress out. Hey, guess what, at the end of Pride and Prejudice, they get married.

nobody's complaining about people posting spoilers. some people don't want to watch the sneak peak clip despite knowing the story because we want to enjoy the whole movie at once when it comes out, not in bits and pieces

My guess is that Herbert wanted to include sword fights to add to the medieval/feudal flavor of the world, and so he worked backwards from that idea and had to contrive the lasgun/shield thing to justify it.

why not just not have lasers in your sci fi universe

or just say shields beat them just like they do guns
