Haven't watched it yet and before anyone tries to spoiler me, I've read all the Frank Herbert Dune books, so I probably know more than you about it lol
Speaking of Frank, I've seen nu Dune fans unironically shilling for Brian's books just because he endorsed Denis' changes in the movie. What a fricking world.
I don't even like the books past COD, but you have to admit that even in the books chani just goes from being basically Paul's bodyguard to being the royal concubine spouting one-liners at irulan and Alia.
The movie is arguably the best sci-fi colossal in the past 30 years, contrarians keep nitpicking mindless shit to complain about just because it's popular
90% of the hate is /misc/ mad because zendaya looks haggard to them

It's not. On Cinemaphile the hate comes from
-the terrible script that fails to set anything up
-the casting
-the hilariously bad visual fx
-the fact that they ignored what happens in the book and went down a different path

I agree. The worst part is that Villynilly lingers on those kinds of shots because he thinks he's making lawrence of arabia or something.

>sunshine >Oblivion >Independence day >Transformers
Nice bait
>The movie is arguably the best sci-fi colossal in the past 30 years,
Lmao, You say that becasue it was the only one?
The movie is mid at best, the cast is cringe and Villememe can't make movies. Sci-fi is fricking deader than dead
>from being basically Paul's bodyguard to being the royal concubine
it's perfectly logical
they spent 3 years figthing the Harkonnens side-by-side, Paul was infatuated with her even before meeting and the Fremen respect strength above all else - furthermore Chani was Liet-Kynes daugther who liked the Atreides family
how exactely is turning Chani into a run-of-the-mill girl boss (a mentality which doesn't fit the Fremen culture) and fricking up the set up for Dune Messiah better than this? >spouting one-liners at irulan
they have no reason to be friends and irulan was plotting her death
The hype came from normalhomosexuals who saw it in theaters, once the torrents came out actual kino enjoyers weighed in. The movie is designed to overwhelm you with theater sound and vision so that you can't accurately judge it as a movie, I call it the Nolan effect.
Just saw part 2, it was okay I guess? Jessica was better this time but Chani fricking sucked. Way to ruin her character. At least the tender love scenes between Paul and Chani were still good.
I feel alone in liking the chani/paul scenes. Gave me the same feeling of jon snow/ygritte. Hardened savage girl curiously entranced by the courtly boy. Cute dynamic
>convoluted plotline and lack of continuity
movie jumps around too much and things seem to happen/characters change up all of a sudden with no explanation. Paul goes from "im not your savior or leader this is your revolution" to "i am the messiah lets nuke these fricks" in a blink of an eye. His mom drinks the blue stuff and apparently she is supposed to die but doesn't?? And then goes manipulative psycho mode because??? Chani hops out of a harkonnen helicopter after paul drinks the blue stuff, where did she get it?? I never read the books but apparently I shouldn't have to yet I am looking stuff up after watching to make sense of it. And people that have read the books complain about them changing a bunch of stuff like the baby sister. So they end up satisfying neither audience >zendaya
before you call me chud I actually thought she was well cast at first.... until they started spamming closeups of her mean mugging the camera every 15 minutes with the soundtrack blasting in the background, it was just ridiculous. Not even saying she is an ugly mutt or can't act or anything like that but it was just egregious how often they did this and then they went and ended the movie with that kind of shot, it felt on purpose >overused sound track
soundtrack was kino but they kept blasting it worse than The Batman with the Nirvana shit, using it in completely unnecessary times until you get sick of it >lots of action scenes but almost all cut short
like the final battle, you see the worms frick shit up and then the fremen run in against the emperor soldiers and you're like oh shit here we go and then it's just 20 seconds of chani killing 7 guys in a row and boom cut to next scene where they slam open the throne room doors. Really? Just going to gloss over the entire huge battle? Same with bautista vs brolin you're like oh shit some kino coming and then the guy just gets one shotted and it's over
>before you call me chud I actually thought she was well cast at first....
Why do you feel the need to justify yourself?
Being ugly and miscast will always e a valid criticism even if make some lesser people mad. Stop apologizing
I thought it was great. These days I rarely go out to see movies anymore but I still went to see Part 2 twice, second time was an even better experience since it's such a dense movie.
It made sense for Rabban because he was an insecure jobber. It's overplayed with Feyd and makes them look comical, despite Denis saying he toned down the Harkonnens degeneracy because's they'd come across as cartoonish. Dumb leaf can't make up his fricking mind.

Chani was fixed with the movies
Denis please

So the solution was to comically make her the only not "blind" fremen and potentially frick up Messiah?

It's called marketing. It's not about anything, except making money. And political messaging I guess, if you're into that.
desperation
>So what was the hype about?
9 figure marketing budget.
The hype came from normalhomosexuals who saw it in theaters, once the torrents came out actual kino enjoyers weighed in. The movie is designed to overwhelm you with theater sound and vision so that you can't accurately judge it as a movie, I call it the Nolan effect.
Seethe.
>this movie was kinda meh
>HAHAHHA U MAD CHUDDY BUDDY PISBABBY INCELS, HUH? U MAD???? ARE U UPSET????
I enjoyed part one alot more than two
It was pretty shit. Managed to make a potential epic into a dull, bland, souless affair. What a waste.
Just saw part 2, it was okay I guess? Jessica was better this time but Chani fricking sucked. Way to ruin her character. At least the tender love scenes between Paul and Chani were still good.

I finished it yesterday and I laughed every time one of the Harkonnens did the "evil villain kills his subordinate". Bautista was hilarious.
>"evil villain kills his subordinate"
Wypipo really do b like that tho

I feel like there's a way to convey him being insecure without cartoonishly smashing a guys face into the console
YOUR MOTHERS WARNED YOU ABOUT THESE DIGITS
FALSE PROHET
What is up with this shit? Does the Cro Magnon girl not even have a real name?
It's her artist name. She said some shit about wanting to use a single name like Cher
But does she bring anything to the table, like Cher did?
And no, "ugly blackwashed gf" doesn't count
Idk, hope that helped
"Zendaya" is the onomatopoeia armenians use for the sound of scratching scrotum
