I still waited to see the second one before watching this review even though I’ve read the books and holy shit I agree it was awesome!!!
No shot he goes beyond Messiah as it would be too fucking weird for most audiences. Casting would be a nightmare except for a couple of exceptions.
It was a fun movie. I hated the deviations from the book. There was room for improvement.
I never fuckin comment but will is 100000000000000% right.
Go fuckin watch this movie
I haven’t been this excited to sit in a theater, watching an action movie since Mad Max: Fury Road. It took my breath away. The sound was so good my seat was shaking. And when it cut to black, I wanted more. Late movie critic Roger Ebert said that a bad movie is too long and a good movie is too short. I somehow sat in that seat for three hours and it still wasn’t long enough.
There were a few too many cuts to close ups of faces. Kind of reminded me of those AI-generated Harry Potter Balenciaga videos. And some of the music was giving me Homeland. But aside from that, 💋🤌🏾
Can’t wait for a certain character to return in Part 3
Dune 2 was good? Doesn't all your radical leftist friends call it a white saviour movie?
Just watched it today and man i just kept thinking please please dont end here. In the best way possible.
When your hundred million dollar sci-fi epic is allowed throw some avant-garde minimalism in your face you know you're eating good
What's that music at the start?
Pronouncing the G in Pugh is driving me nuts
I think Denis Villeneuve (DV) took too much freedom in changing Chani’s character path. I understand modernizing a story (as Chani’s character in the book is much more subservient to Paul), but the way in which the Fremen are painted because of her changes was a miss. Religious fanaticism occurs in Dune, I am not denying that. It isn’t as simple as being “misguided”. DV skips over so much when it comes to the Fremen people’s culture which leads them to appear as strictly “Islamic-like” people. The influence of the Arabic world in Dune cannot be overstated, but Herbert’s story explicitly describes these people as self-deterministic as well as religious. Liet-Kynes’ dreams of a green Arrakis is passed onto Chani and is the impetus of her actions. The creative liberties taken by DV in making Chani a more integral part of Dune is understandable. However his execution disregards much of the story Herbert has created.
Paul’s power-hunger is also expedited. He is more of a “villain” than an “anti-hero”. Paul’s hesitation to go south is due to his fear of becoming consumed by his newly leveraged power. This descent is gradual in the novel, highlighting the awareness Paul has over the situation. Paul fears what he could become, as his dreams or visions show genocide. This is quickly dispelled in the film. Paul does indeed go South and then BANG the fear in him is greatly subdued to the point where it doesn’t have an impact on his actions. Paul is calculated and self-aware in the novel, as shown by his inner monologues. His marriage to Irulan and continued relationship with Chani shows his understanding of politics and the need for diplomatic solutions while still weighing the need for violence. DV’s ending places Paul’s lust for revenge prior to that of Arrakis, blowing the story open and leading me to fear what DV may do in the final installment of the trilogy.
This is a little ramble-ly but I hope it gets my point across
It is such an artistic film. So much beautiful visual and sound that is way way beyond mainstream standard of aesthetics. But in terms of character development and emotions I feel it stutters a bit. But I didn't have time to care. It's just so amazing to look at and listen to
Best movie since Dark Knight*
Seen it 3 times now. Amazing every time.
Saw it at the PACCAR theater in Seattle, had to wait in line for about an hour cause seating it first come first serve.
I'm gonna go see it again. Insane experience, don't miss out.
just got out of the IMAX. as a big sci-fi guy, I felt at home in that theatre.
That Hasan impression was so f-ing funy
Dune 2 was awesome! I want to see it again lol
If the third film stays at this quality we have another legendary trilogy like lord of the rings.
I’m sooo stoked Dune was achieved at this scale and execution. Like how do I get DV to direct this up and coming star studded cast at this budget. All the costuming. The feel. I felt there. I felt there on Gideon Prime, I felt there in arrakis. Javier was probably my favorite performance.
I’ll take D+ sci-fi fantasy but this was all timer A.
everything was not on point
yall are exaggerating…
the geidi prime fight sceen was not only shot in greyscale it was shot in IR and fused together.. absolutely astounding
Denis already said he's working on Rendezvous with Rama produced by Morgan Freeman
There are a lot more Dune books, but let's be real they're not as good as the first book
Idk how they could make a movie about the books past children of dune
Will, you can't undermine your own video only 1:33 in. I don't need to watch any further than "Its the best movie to come out since Fury Road". Gotta bury that until at least the 10 min mark, hahaha. Gonna go to the theater this weekend, thanks.
When the Bene Gesserit walked from inside to outside on Giedi Prime and they went from color to infrared grayscale I came
Like holy shit
Mad Max Fury Road is one of the most boring movies I have ever watched, I can never manage to finish it, and I can only remember Inmortan Joe playing guitar on top of a monster truck, and something about milking women
Editor I’m right there with you with my confusion over wills opinion on Florence pugh, side note they made her costume inspired off of catholic nuns so you can infer what you want about wills kinks
Brian Herbert Dune books are not appreciated by this household, I dont like them and theyre not for me.
When saying this is the best film since Fury Road, I think you have to qualify that with either "blockbuster" or "action film".
No, children of Dune would be really hard to film. People will not understand. Denis will avoid it. Even Dune Messiah is going to mess with their minds.
They should make all the way to the last book Chapterhouse.
What is the song remix called at the start of the vid???????
I saw it last night, and legit want to go see it again.
Irulan's costumes were just unreal.
Actually couldn’t believe it was 3 hours after. Felt like 45 minutes
I bought another ticket for the movie after this vid
even if this movie was bad i would’ve sucked it off just for the slight chance of getting film adaptations of books 4-6
After Denis made a sequel to the best Sci-Fi movie of all time Blade Runner and was arguably just as if not better than the original, I knew Dune would be in good hands and he didn’t disappoint. There’s no one else doing big budget Sci-Fi in Hollywood like him right now.
lol fury road?
I haven't read Dune at all, just an avid enjoyer of the 2 films, absolutely enjoyed Dune 2. After thinking about it for a day I REALLY want Chani to interact with the Djinn, or a interaction with the Djinn.. but I'd love Chani to have an interaction with them
Will drop the spoiler review
They don't use the voice a lot, but every single time they do it I get chills it's insane how well the audio is mixed and the decisions of when to use it. The film was insane, everything I could have hoped for. Tiny gripe on I still couldn't get over the Walken casting (not entirely his fault it is what it is) but it's not even a footnote in terms of the experience. Just absolutely insane, also anyone saying that Timothee Chalamet isn't a star delusional, the way over these past two films he's gone from a well meaning softer personality struggling with the weight of family duty/grief/prophecy to the commanding and genuinely worrying presence at the end is amazing. Just blown away. Went in with high expectations because Villeneuve is simply the best directory working right now and left absolutely beaming.
Going back to see it for a second time today, can't wait.
Have seen 3 times in IMAX just pure bliss. We’re blessed to be around when a filmmaker like Denis Villeneuve is making stuff.
Dennis Willeneffe
Timothee gonna need that Oscar next year
Guys i saw it… Hes absolutely not overhyping it
What made me most mad about this film was how I couldn't really criticize it. Loving the Book, seeing where Villeneuve deviated from it but having to realize how well his version works.
