‘Dune: Part Two’ First Reactions: Rave Reviews Topped By Critic Who Claims, “It’s The Definitive Sci-Fi Epic Of A Generation”
The reviewers are struggling to say how awesome ''Dune 2" is with their first reactions.
It maybe an unpopular opinion but the first one kinda felt lifeless to me
I agree that it felt a bit lifeless but at least it´s true to the book, something that can´t be said about the abomination that Lynch directed. I keep telling myself that in a parallel universe Jodorowsky´s Dune was actually made and plays the role in pop culture that Star Wars plays in our universe.
It's probably because it had to spend so much time on character history/relationship and world building to get people familiar with the scenario who didn't read the books.
My only complaint about it was that it was half a movie and it just randomly ended mid way through the story.
Not an opinion. It's a fact. I watched the 1984 version, spice diver edit, after it. Sooo much better.
Whew that's good to hear, I'm super hyped, got tickets for the 1st and managed to snag a dead center halfway back seat at my local theater.
Well done!
That good huh, maybe i should give the first one a go 🤔
IMO the first one nails the spectacle that one imagines when reading Dune, but struggles to capture the book's deeper meaning
Exactly what I thought. The movie is very accurate concerning the story but lacks the impressive depth of the universe created by Frank Herbert in the book.
Very succinct summary, IMO.
I like the movie but it does lose a lot by dropping the character's inner monologues. I totally get why you'd do that for a film adaptation but the book characters are so internal and introspective that you really get a sense of their mental subtlety and the labyrinthine nature of the political landscape that they inhabit. Then also of course is how Paul (and later Leto II) subjectively experience prescience.
I'm hoping that Part Two really delves deeper into the psyches of both Paul and Jessica.
I really liked the first one. SO's not really in to scifi so it mostly gone over their head. We'll see if I get an opportunity to catch it in the cinema
Who here is planning on watching it? I'll create the review thread later, but if someone wants to do it earlier, feel free
I have tickets for the advanced screening on the 25th at my local AMC lie-max. It was the only available theater for the advanced screening. Then I'm watching it again a week after general screening in true IMAX.
