Can I just say the opening scenes explosions looked bad?
SILENCE
when he silenced that granny hoe
Couldnât stand her ass in 1 or 2, wanted Paul to merc her tbh
SILENCE
I wanted it to say it the day i watched but I held out
That as a whole I didnât feel a single emotion from watching it. I liked the scale and the technical qualities of it, but after some time I just got kinda annoyed at constant establishing shots and the âgeometryâ of it. And I know that thatâs what Villeneuve is famous for, heâll, he one of my favorite movie shots ever is in Sicario. Here though it just didnât do anything as it seemed too polished for its own sake. I adore Lynchâs Dune because itâs a creative mind working in front of you and really a âmaking moviesâ kinda film: I love seeing decisions on the screen, but I dont always care to see budgets
Both new Dunes just donât do anything at all to me because all I see is a creative man zeroing in on looking nice and doing it well but getting no response from me in return. Not because I donât wanna give it to him but simply because this time around it doesnât resonate with me in any capacity
This entire response just shows you donât really care about the source material. Which is all well and good but you really shooting from the hip talkin bout âpeople gonna drop their scores on rewatchâ lmao. Denis did a MUCH much better job with the source material than David Lynch could have ever hoped to do.

No you canât!
Itâs been said a few times here already but I could have done with another 30 mins to an hour tbh. It was already packed and paced pretty well but some more time being spent on Paul being accepted by Chani and the Freyman, more time with him after his change, more time fleshing out Feyd etc
Some of these things felt quick even tho the movie was already almost 3 hours. I wouldnât have minded more time just have these feel a lil more earned
Nitpicky ofc still very much enjoyed the movie we got
the ending with Chani about to ride the worm feels like a great callback to the first movie when Liet Kynes is about to ride the worm before she gets killed by the Sardaukar.
it probably wasnt intentional, but in the book Chani is the daughter of Liet Kynes so it felt like a nice continuation of that scene
knowing Denis, it 100% was intentional

hollywood movie made by warner bros, what did you expect? itâs an adaptation
Peeped what I believe was true 70mm and I can't say I saw quite a difference than say IMAX but sound was amazing
Think that's just the film itself tho
this movie would have benefited from 45 extra minutes, I was checking my watch because I didn't want it to end
Yeah this could've easily been 3 hours
Probably needed it
REALLY wished in the final fight when Paul stabs toward Feydâs face and he stops it inches from his face and holds it there for a few seconds
That he would lick the tip of the knife mirroring when he did it earlier in the film. Would add more to his freakiness
The David Lynch movie isnât that badâŚ
Oh s***
Iâm watching it rn too 
Pops been wanting me to watch it for the longest but I held out cause I didnât wanna spoil anything in part 2
Watching the extended version too at 3 hrs

You a nasty ho
hollywood movie made by warner bros, what did you expect? itâs an adaptation
Yeah thatâs exactly what it is and what I had in mind as I was watching it
the fireworks in giedi prime
so f***ing stunning, I love small details like this that coalesce towards a vision as to what another planet/world in the feature might look like
One part I was confused about was when they were all headed south but Paul was adamant on staying by himself then he touches the ripples of the sand and gets a vision and not only does he go south he agrees to drink the water of life
I couldnât figure out what caused the huge 180. I know he had the vision and heard a voice talking to him but thatâs been happening all movie. What did I miss?
There too many things going on in part two the movies is too short
Gurney showing up halfway through
Lady jessica just looking menacing and not speaking the whole second half of the movies
Rabban whole arc is just
Compare to part one plot that just flow naturally
It really felt like chapters in a book (I mean this as a compliment)

Chani confronts him after and convinces him by telling him he wonât lose her, as that was the only thing holding him back. Key point she said as long as he doesnât change as a person she wonât, but evident after Paul takes it he changes completely. He knew it was an inevitability for him to travel but knowing Chani was on his side made him go through with it.
