Movies Dune part two

[aiat_gamer]

Anyone excited about this? I am a huge fan of the books, but the first movie sort of disappointed me. Some changes from the book were not so great, and having big name actors for short parts was kind of distracting. Honestly I expected it to be much better.

I loved the books, up until the point it started getting silly and then I kind of gave up.

The original movie was awful and I was stoked for the remake but yes, it kind of left me flat. I think if I'd re read the books first it might have made the experience different but that wasn't going to happen.

I will most certainly be watching the second film but think I will struggle to find anyone to go with me!

Love the books and really liked the first part, can't wait

When did you give up? I read all of the Frank Herbert books and enjoyed them. It does get weird, but it made it feel very alien and I liked it

The original movie was awful, but it is so bad it has some charm.

I think removing the dinner sequence was a mistake. So much exposition was lost from that scene. Yueh wasn’t really used to good effect. But I enjoyed part 1. The cast all say that part 2 is phenomenal even in contrast to part 1 so I’m pretty excited for it.

Overall I was VERY happy with the first part, but the last time I read the first book I was probably a moderator at old GW.

Can't wait for part 2, and hoping beyond hope we get Dune Messiah as Villenueve has said he wants to do it.

I don't know though, the third book barely has any action in it so how can they make it exciting for the average joe.

I watched the original Dune back in the day. Graphics were something to be desired that's for sure! My husband & I did watch the new one & it caught our attention, however, it wasn't as good as we thought it would be.
I'm not sure we'll go for Part 2. Did they answer some of the questions that seemed to be hanging in Part 1?

You gotta re-read! I re-read not long before the movie came out

Just more of a backstory to what happened. Why people turn out the way they did, what had them choose their path, etc.

I don't think so since even in the book there is not much in those areas. They did expand in some prequels about the houses and such.

Sometimes movies & TV series tend to go further than the book could have.

I have not read the books, but I enjoyed the 2020 remake. I'm anxiously awaiting the second one. I'm even more excited that Florence Pugh is going to be playing a role in this one.
