Holy shit.


Best movie I have seen in a very long time.  Just unbelievably well done.  There was so much to live up to after the first part and they blew it out of the water.

Go see it.  It's an incredible experience.

I'll wait for it to show up on MAX so I can avoid the morons in the theater.

I went at 3:15 and there were 4 other people in the theater.  Plan your trip right and there are no morons.

It's worth seeing on the big screen.  It's an experience.

I also have to drive 2 hours to get to a theater which for the most part isn't worth the effort.

I’m trying to talk myself into a 2 hour drive Saturday to go see it. I wish I saw part 1 in the theater.

It'll be a couple weeks before I'll have the time to get to go. Hopefully that cuts down on the crowds some too.

Yes.  

Obviously you don't get the same "wow" moments from seeing the sand worms for the first time and taking in the visuals but the story and action more than make up for it.

It was okay.

Lots of wasted time of Chani making angry girl faces that could have been used to expand on the lore.

Walken was a horrible emperor.

Part 1 was the better film.

I 100% agree it was a horrible movie. Way too long, nothing good happened. Snakes were boring, etc. Should have just done a one movie remake. Anything would be better than the original movie. I am so dissappointed in the whole remake!!!

Hell yes!  Can't wait.  I was a fan of Dune in the early 70's.  I remember the excitement when the first movie came out in 1984.  I had doubts about the ability to make a movie of such an intricate novel.  But they pulled it off.  I saw the original until the VCR wore out.  My kids still groan when they hear the word Dune.

Did Zendaya do a decent job of Chani??? She was my biggest criticism of the first one, and she only had like 2 lines....

"Snakes were boring".



Okay, bro.  You are pretty much the only person on earth who is disappointed in the remake.

Read Dune for the first time in the early 70’s as a kid. Dune Part 1 took me back to then. The visuals, the plot, everything basically perfect. This one only loosely follows the book and in doing so loses all of the subtlety and intelligence of the book and Part 1. Really, really disappointing. The specials effects were great… a confection with no real substance or message.

Maybe I’ll get drunk and sit in the back row and sing along loudly with the middle-eastern chant whenever the soundtrack cranks one out …

“aawaa (pause) HAAAAAAAAAA !!” (drink)

J/k I’ll buy the DVD and do that at home. Been a fan of the book since the 70’s.

Only thing that bugs me is the Emperor supposed to look like a man in his 30s. While being in his 70s.

Dune 1 was a dud. I assume 2 will be as well.  Just not my taste. Then again,  I wasn't particularly entertained by any of the Star Wars stuff either.

Are the Harkonnens actually portrayed as cutthroat thugs versus clownish buffoons like they were in the Children of Dune series

They are in Dune Part 1. I don't think Denis would drop that with Part 2.

They're even more brutal in part 2, especially Austin Butler's character.

I don’t know if I liked it as much as part 1 but it’s good.  I have a couple criticisms but not much.  Look and sound track is great.  Worth the theater trip.  Was left slightly unsatisfied, I can’t put my finger on why yet.  One of the primary writers also wrote Prometheus which is one of the worst movies ever and suffers a bit focusing on scenes rather than complete story - just slightly.  I actually think Timothy is kind of overrated but he cast pretty well as Paul.  

Part of it  I wanted more lore, more scenes with Baron, a bit more game of thrones dialogue and plotting,  more screens of cities people and world building and it wasn’t quite there on Arakus.  Harkonsn home world scenes are fantastic.  Fight scenes and battles are awesome.  In any case I’ll watch it several times like part 1.  It’s far far better than most trash out there.  I’m seeing it again on Saturday with another group of friends.
