This was the "boring" movie. It left me appreciating it more and more after seeing it. I am really hoping that they deliver on the second half.I think it needed to be 3 hrs so they could reach a better place to end.
Where would you have ended it?I think it needed to be 3 hrs so they could reach a better place to end.
Where would you have ended it?
I wasn't ready for it to end either, but I anticipated it leaving me wanting.I was thinking about this today and I guess it wasn't the actual place it ended that bothered me, but the fact that the scene itself was a bit too short followed by an abrupt end. So, I would've either drawn that scene out a bit more or added some more exposition after it. Maybe it's just me though, I found it a bit jarring the way it suddenly ended considering how well-paced it had been up to that point.
It's a bit weird, he got the pacing right but why wasn't he brave enough to make it 3 hours like Peter Jackson would've.Saw it yesterday.
Like I said, Vileneuve was perfect for this. The film is visually impressive, dragged out as fuck, and chock-full of navel gazing. As Dune should be. (FITE ME) Unfortunately, to achieve the long, slow, atmospheric, impactful scenes, he dumped a whole lot of stuff. Like, a lot. Despite the valiant efforts of the infodumps strewn across the movie, a great amount of plot and worldbuilding was left out. Some scenes and plot points and characters fell completely flat without the worldbuilding to explain their significance. All so people on screen could spend more time walking. Or flying. Or staring. Or tripping balls. And yes, those scenes are more powerful for it. But the rest of the movie is not.
But like it or not, for better or for worse, this is the "definitive" Dune adaptation now.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. Dune, part 2 becoming a meme is a little discouraging and exciting at the same time.Well, they're making the second part, and some casting has already been announced:

Might not be bad.
But I can't help but imagine this:
Tell her that they're making a sequel to "This Is Spinal Tap" set to release for the first movie's 40 anniversary.When I told my mother the Part Two estimated release date, she didn't like that it'd take so long. Then I told her some of the waiting periods between iterations of videogames in the same series.
