Probably getting some hate for saying this, but…. The Dune movies are some of the worst big budget movies I’ve seen. They look nice and the cinematography is awesome but that movie feels so damn empty.
Yeah the only reason it could be considered “bad” is because they ran out of money and the entire 2nd half is just a montage of shots to end the movie because the producers took over.
I watched the first one in the theater and thought it was dry but okay. I tried rewarding it when the second one was coming out and I turned it off like 1/3 of the way through. I watched the second one but it couldn’t hold my attention at all.
I agree with the Dune movies and in particular I think I don’t like Denis Villeneuve; He takes a cute sci fi short story like “stories of your life” and turns it into a very self important dull thing. Then he takes a Novel about flying through space with drugs and doing guerriilla warfare while riding sand worms and it all feels so somber and rigid. Man has no fun in him.

I will say, the first one is the most to-the-letter book adaptations i have ever seen.
Yeah, I’d rather watch the Lynch version anytime, the new ones are like 6 hours of bland, boring choices and wooden performances.
lol, true. At least Lynch‘s version is a entertaining fever dream.

Even the three part TV movies from around 2000 are better.
