No Whammies!!
Haven’t seen the new one but…

was the OG Dune highly regarded? Cuz it looks boring af

Let's put it this way:
When the original plays on TV, the credits say:
Directed by Alan Smithee

That's because David Lynch was so embarrassed he made them remove his name from later cuts of the film

( I liked it though )

Saw it, shyt was amazing. Amazing visuals. I don’t know how y’all say it’s boring lol have you read the fukking books? :mjlol:

Understand the literature before coming in, this shyt could have been way more “boring”.
Lol exactly how I feel. I think some people expected Marvel/ Disney characters and dialogue. That’s not Dune

I liked it better than most of Lynch’s movies but I’m admittedly not a big fan of his.

I’m on my way with my pops to see this in IMAX. Not taking anyone’s opinion of this very seriously unless they saw it in theaters. shyt is just going to hit different

Pro: look good, well acted
Cons: did we need all the foreshadowing scenes, this could have been 30 minutes shorter if they took those out, also as far as destruction porn goes, Foundation did it better, there were no memorable scenes.

I'll give it 7 out if 10 and wait for the sequel

Went to see this with a chick last night just based on the ratings and because I haven't seen a good Sci fi in a while... I'm not familiar with Dune at all.

We both left not knowing wtf we just watched... it seemed like a good movie but I just didn't really know what was going on. Seems like a better fit for a TV series like another breh said. I gotta watch it again before I give a rating

The foreshadowing scenes are his dreams and visions. Critical to dune
