This looks so great. I love that they are focusing on the prophecy and all that entails.

I'm looking forward to it.

I admit I was a tad disappointed with the 1st Dune movie. It wasn't bad by any means, but I felt Denis Villeneuve didn't quit communicate Paul's plight enough, and, as much as I like Zendaya as an actress, I don't think she was the best choice for Chani.

Then again, I realize Dune is a difficult book to adapt to a movie.

But I've enjoyed other work by Denis Villenueuve so I'm suspecting Part 1 was just a setup for Part 2 and the 2 parts together make a satisfactory story.

I want Gaspar Noe to direct God Emperor of Dune, but it's like a mashup of his movie Climax and Caligula, and focuses mainly on the Worm squishing Tleilaxu while his Fish Guard orgasm continuously during protracted, graphic, and nauseau inducing orgy scenes.

I'm so pumped for this, the emperors ship / fight looks exactly how I imagined.

As someone who read a few of the books, I legitimately despised part 1.

[–] PlanetOfOrd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I can see that. I can't say I despised it, but I was a little disappointed. What didn't you like?

For me, I thought Denis Villeneuve could have added more emotional weight to the story. Overall I liked the movie. If I see it in a DVD bin I'll probably pick it up, but I'm not going out of my way to watch Part 1 again.

I did too. Crazy to think so many people find it a great adaptation cause I feel like it misses the point of what made the books so amazing by quite a lot.

Idk I reread Dune annually and thought it was about as good of an adaptation as one could hope.

Are there more than one adaptation? I know about the David Lynch but haven't been paying attention since then. So I don't know which one is good.

im sure im gonna get shit on here but i thought Dune 1 was the single most boring and terrible movie i ever tried to watch. i was waiting for SOMETHING to happen the whole time and literally nothing happens. its slow moving people in gigantic buildings and landscapes doing absolutely nothing! like holy hell i thought i was missing something but Dune was just hours of people doing nothing. sit around and talk here, sit around and talk over here now. look my house is the size of your whole planet haha, now listen to me talk very very slowly for the next 20 minutes about nothing.
