24 says hello
I think you meant to write DUNC
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.
This looks glorious. Can't wait to watch this at an odd time at the cinemas so it's empty
Yes!! The Dune movies are the only big movies I've been excited about in a loooong time. Between the crappy nostalgia remakes (which never live up to the originals) and the endless superhero franchise churn, the theatre experience has been quite dire for far too long.
I love that Villeneuve is bringing the craft of movie-making back to blockbuster movies, and doubly so that he's done it with the Dune stories. And he's done them justice so far, both the material and with the beauty of the cinematography.
As someone who read a few of the books, I legitimately despised part 1.
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.
I loved part 1, it was such a refreshing movie in terms of storytelling, writing, cinematography. Super excited for part 2
Part one was the most cliche movie I've seen. Bad guys are bad, good guys are good, kid is the chosen one, parents get killed. Hopefully part 2 will be better.
That looked really good! I have high hopes for this!
