I barley know how to read

so I haven't read the books, but Dune looks like the stupidest movie since Titanic.

I watched Dune back in the 80’s, didn’t get it, didn’t like it. Watched the remake a couple of months ago, it wasn’t any better than the original. I’ll probably only watch part 2 if there is rain and some sort of debilitating injury involved.

 

[dawgman42]

Worst sci-fi crap ever made. It should even miss the cut for MST3000.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

You're just going against the grain.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Dune isn’t stupid but it is difficult to adapt to film.

Like other works of epic fiction, its best adaptations are going to be limited series or miniseries. That said, Villeneuve has done an outstanding job.

I really liked the first movie. Haven't watched the second.

 

[dog12]

I tried to watch the original Dune movie. In my opinion, it 17ing sucked.

I won't waste my time with these new Dune movies . . . unless someone offers me a suitcase full of cash to watch.

Good action sci-fi movies
It ain’t that serious

 

[Xenomorph]

I loved the first book and both of these first movies.

The story gets a bit esoteric from here and I never even finished the third book.

 

[L4Dawg]

I love the first book. The rest not so much.

I think the remake is easier to follow and understand than the 80s version.

Yeah because the 80s was David Lynch

 

[GloryDawg]

I watched both seasons of HALO and it was very well done. Was not cheap.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Oh, wrong one...

 

[hdogg]

I watched the 1st one and have no idea what happened. The 2nd looks cool but I can't watch 3hrs and feel lost the whole time.
Wife disagrees though... must be an intuition type of plot.

Wasn't Kevin Bacon in the first one?***

The Second movie was way too long. Also they kind of made Zendaya’s character a whiney nag bc I guess it wasn’t woke enough for her to be broken hearted the man she loved had to marry someone else for political reasons so she had to have her Beyoncé moment or whatever. When it comes to art progressives have sent us backward. Imagine how “problematic” Romeo & Juliet would be now.

So, all of this to simply say

We get it.

Said the exact same thing to my wife. I love epic fiction, but I've never found Dune to be anything other than just ok, and I told my wife that it should have been an Amazon 10-part series with multiple seasons. There are some great characters, but not enough time to build most of them up

Did not like the original in the 80s, I guess it was to cerebral being use to Star Wars simplicity. The new Dune remake was a little tedious, but it loss me after the House of Atreides the ''greatest fighting force in the galaxy" is skull drug in 10 minutes. After 6 months I decided to pick it up after that sequence and actually enjoyed the rest of the movie. I will probably watch Dune 2 assuming they don't do something stupid with the plot. BTW, the books were good.

The first one is better the second time. I was sort of bored with it the first time around.
