rewatched it giving it another chance. second part of the film is complete garbage i fell asleep again. fremen are portrayed as disgusting sand people with no brain, yet they have fancy tech but no factory or explanaiton how and where its done by them. music is the worst thing with a women screaming strange umba wumba things like african tribes only worse, cant even call it music. effects are poor beside the harkonnen guided rockets and the lascannon from the capital ship when duncan idaho leaves arrakeen but you see good things for maximum 5-7 minutes total. actors are bad choices with exceptions of some of the atreides and rabban. the worms are done in the worst way possible, ive seen fan made stuff done better.
once again good material wasted. even madman jodorowsky would have done it better.

It took me 3 days to get through this. I don’t see how anyone could find the story interesting today, maybe back in the 60s when sci-fi was a brand new concept sure.
read the books or watch the spicediver edit of the 1984 film they are the only acceptable ways to consume dune
lynch version has its own charm but nah, not much to do with the book.

Dune: The Ballet is also acceptable
if you can accept bad cgi and very strange costumes but a somehow good story more like the book go watch the miniseries that was running on tv long time ago.
DUNC is peak villeneuvisms, ie peak garbage.
You can literally see the worst parts of every PoS he's made up until now, coalesce into a single film, DESPITE the fact that it's got source material. But for me, the most egregious thing of all was the way they handled space travel. That is, they didn't handle it at all. AAAAAAAT AAAAAAAAAALL IT JUST FRICKING FADES/CUTS TO BLACK OR WHATEVER AND IT'S LIKE THE FILM'S IMPLYING THEY WOKE FROM CRYO OR WHATEVER THE FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
its "travel whitout moving" interpreted by villeneuve. the ship is at 2 places at the same time. if you look in the middle of the ring you can see caladan from dune. bad stuff, maybe to save money.
You both know what I fricking mean.
Whole thing was like a few seconds, a few frames. Blink and you'll literally miss it. Compared to an entire bloody scene got from 1984's dune. An entire scene! We saw a navigator, we saw the tank, we saw spice, we saw the final stage of mutation, we saw an interpretation of how navigators guide the heighliner through space. Regardless of whether it was good or not, it gave us something at least.
DUNC was profoundly dissapointing, but at least I was prepared given villeneuve's track record. Still left a bad taste in my mouth though.

Did you forget the part where it looked like shit and had nothing to do with the books?
>Regardless of whether it was good or not, it gave us something at least.
I was pretty clear. Frick off. You villeushitters LARPing as snydergays will never be entertaining.
im with you there. its trippy and strange but today i like to view it again.
here you see the imperial homeworld in the middle of the spacefolding ring in the orbit of caladan. there is no travel. you enter and exit.
Yeah, but Jessica is good looking
yes best jessica in all adaptations, rabban is also great and so is duncan idaho but you cannot beat patrick steward charging into battle with a pup in his hands...
What did Lynch mean by this? There's no pup in the book.
nobility in lynch film has massive amounts of doggos. nobody knows why.
Jesus Christ I forgot how brutally atrocious Lynch's "version" is. What a clusterfrick.
Dune should never have been made into a movie or anything. I am so profoundly tired of all that bears the name of Dune
It's actually a nice original touch of world building. The setting is supposed to feature a decadent aristocracy, which aught to have weird classist fads. Pedigree dog breeds fits perfectly. The atreides pug is there with them when they leave Caladan, it's with them when they arrive on arrakis, it takes part in the battle against the harkonnens, and it is there at the end, when Paul is triumphant.
made a mistake. duncan idaho got almost no screen time at all in lynch version. its gurney halleck played by patrick steward.
The worst thing is it doesn't feel like a Villeneuve movie at all. It's very obvious he had no control over it and the studio absolutely fricked him. It's especially clear during the action sequences which are extremely dull and safe.
>music is the worst thing with a women screaming strange umba wumba things
I'm so glad someone else noticed this. It's SO FRICKING BAD. It's like hanz zimmer just got a free sample cd of "Le African Vocals" from the front cover of Computer Music Magazine circa 2003 and just copied them straight into his music without even editing them.
Shields were mostly iffy in the books but they were fricking moronic in the movie. Once they get to Arrakis, nobody even uses them.
>Le Hallway Fight with DUNCan
So fricking shitty. He doesn't even make contact with half of the Sardaukar.
>Dune 2021 is a bad movie
Well its official. Someone tell Dennis to wrap pre-production. Anonymous homosexual on Cinemaphile officially declared Dune to be bad.
just do a directors cut for us denis. i will watch it a third time and do a fresh review here. no need to be butthurt its all your fault. you had the money.
Really amazing how they stripped all humanity out of this setting. It's only going to get worse as they translate less and less of the story to screen.
I almost never stop movies and not finish them. Dune was one of them. Absolutely horrendous film on all levels. I honestly cannot believe they are making a second. Terrible casting, terrible direction.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the entirely emotionless and soulless Zendaya to have a prominent role in the next one.
I haven't even watched it once and I know it's bad.
Also, having all the actors that are at arguably at the peak of their careers and recycling all the recurrent "he makes the movie" actors just destroys my suspension of disbelief. Don't know if I explain myself correctly.
Was Hollywood always like this? Throwing the same dozen hot actors in every high budget movie? I feel like the last decade has been specially apparent, like they're running out of talented actors.
>Throwing the same dozen hot actors in every high budget movie?
Yes
>Dune 2021 is a bad movie
Yes.
It's simply bad.
>Duncan Idaho
I nearly burst out laughing when I heard this uttered by one of the immemorable characters.
It's what I expected. Dune minus anything too weird to turn off the Marvel crowd with enough familiar capeshit elements to sell. I expected a flop anyways but I think it did ok.
Dune for the zoomer audience. Surprised they didn't cast a Stranger Things actor.
He tried to make Lawrence of Arabia and failed. It doesn’t even look half as good.
LOA actually has color, was actually filmed in a desert, by people who actually cared and were honest
I know this will make me sound like a fedora tipper but Dune is just too complex for the average person to appreciate. When you try to make it understandable for the masses you end up with DUNC.
