How Dune Leveled Up What A Blockbuster Should Feel Like 

I can'T Understand how this Overhyped Movie is so beloved. Visually it was ok. But It is a Dull Movie. Please stop shilling and hyping.

@@darioscomicschool1111visually it was okay??

@@darioscomicschool1111we get it, you lack an attention span and require constant visual stimulation

@@darioscomicschool1111typical Disney meatrider

@@darioscomicschool1111 I think the same about Oppenheimer

I hope note LOTR feels very outdated

@@nazapadu02 it doesn't though.

it won't be though.

it wont

@@nazapadu02 LOTR is less dated than most blockbusters releasing in the last few years.

Part 2 really nailed the moments it needed to, like Feyd's intro, Paul summoning the worm, the water of life, "Duke of Arrakis!!", "SILENCE", and the knife duel. All those scenes and more gave me goosebumps

Having everyone laugh at the quip and be jovial only to have everyone shift into horror when they see how big a worm he ended up calling really sold it.

I agree, I had a very similar moment with your mum. It was brilliant.

Too bad the director didn't actually adapt the novel, but instead took some parts of it and rebuilt it in the image of 2024.

@@deebuggerwhy crying?

@@GRMNCVS thank you for your comment!

@@deebugger Bro discovered how adaptations work 💀

You’re telling me, I used to watch the sci-fi miniseries all the time in the hopes that the book would get a fresh take.. thank you lord Villeneuve.

Theres alot of them. Sadly, people don't show up to see them alot of the times. It's the same with people complaining about Hollywood only making sequels or IP we all know. 1. Those things make money. So, of course they are doing them. 2. There's hundreds of movies and series made a year. SOO many original IP made each year. So many. People just don't talk about them or don't know they exist. Instead people complain rather than actually pay attention to what's actually happening.

And less Disney/ Marvel pandering and lecturing soulless garbage.

Yeah, it does😏

Why can't youtubers pronounce the name though

He’s the director, not the author.

A list of the best directors working today minus Greta. They’re keeping cinema alive!

I think greta's pretty great tbh. I like Barbie and I think Little Women and Ladybird are excellent

@@jamesbell1186 I know too many women who felt insulted by Barbie's portrayal of them to think it was doing anything. What's worst is it really took away from America's great monologue. Outside of that, women were portrayed as simple minded individuals overcome by a single more simple minded individual's bad idea, when they were already in power and held smart positions in their culture. Follow that by the shut down about involvement in fair governance. And not one good guy in the whole show. Even Alan was abandoning his pregnant wife. The bulk of the reviews on this one were 2-4 stars and what the women had to say in those was pretty hard hitting. I'm surprised it has such a loud fanbase.

Lol Greta Gerwig and Denis Villeneue in the same sentence?

@gurratell7326 Love how I mention 1 female director and that's the one people have an issue with lol

It's not that difficult to build a road 😆 But it does show dedication to the project.

​@@FabledGentleman if it wasn't so difficult, why does the government spend so much time and money to build them?

@@komradestalin6895 Bureaucracy

@@FabledGentleman Roads generally cost about a million dollars a mile. That being said, since these only needed to last a year or two over the course of the film, it's likely that they didn't do the proper ground prep necessary to make a long lasting road, which greatly reduces cost and time. That's just a guess on my part, though.

@@Descriptor413 Of course, you don't build something that isn't needed, all they need is a way to bring crew and equipment to location, and that's it.

Oh, don't worry, if Villeneuve wants to make a Part 3 he will. Part 2 made good money, so he'll definitely get the OK from the studios for a third movie.

He's just taking his time. Messiah needs time to be done right. And it will be done right

There is no way in hell that Warner Bros won't let him do part 3, I'm pretty sure they even want him to very much seeing how good it has been doing.

Don't worry, he'll take all the Oscars this year (why else would anyone do a Nolan film?). Also - "must be respected"? And what if I didn't like this movie?

@@deebuggeryou're so obnoxious. Nobody cares if you didn't like it.

@@deebugger Not liking the movie is your choice. But since the majority of them liked it I'm saying Auteurs like Denis need more praise. Denis himself now gets universal praise after dune while his other movies like sicario, blade runner 2049 and arrival were just as good.

@@shaanvinoth9277 on the contrary my friend - I think those three movies you mentioned are exactly the reason he's already praised worldwide. Indeed those 3 movies are (in my opinion) far better than Dune, and they're the reason I was excited to see how a Villenueve Dune would look like, only to find out that it's actually Villenueve's Nolan version of Dune (and I really can't stand Nolan movies anymore). My problem is that now al movies will look like that.

@@deebugger I do agree with you sir. You are right

High chance they're bots, my guy

​@magonus195, you'd hope so, at least. 😂

That's possibly the worst take I've ever heard. Dune Part Two is my favorite film of the year and will no doubt remain so, and I don't think I'm even going to see Rebel Moon Part One let alone Part Two. Dune has substance, depth, quality, and I've never heard any of those things attributed to Snyder.

As opposed to this one that had horrible story telling and nothing else.

Ya there’s actual passion behind these movies, not just throw money at it till you have a movie. @shawnmayo8210 you probably think Twilight is a good movie

@@deztheray8935 it's not, but you know what it does have? Character development and the actual story from the original books. ;) troll harder my man... lol

Right? I hope that's his next project.

I kinda would love to see a Villeneuve take on Batman also. I think that movie would be unbelievably good.

​@@M_k-zi3tnI think he's too big for that

​@@M_k-zi3tn Only Batman gets the cinematic treatment lmao. Love it. The Batman was a masterpiece so I'm fine with Reeves for now and I want more Dune and originals from Denis tbh

@@M_k-zi3tn No no.. No more batman movies at the moment please. The ones we've had recently has been good enough.

When Paul is being tested and is atop the dune crest, awaiting the approaching worm, the vfx sun keep switching from one side of the sky to the other. If you watch that scene and pay close attention to the light and shadow on Paul, you can see the sun switch several times in that sequence. I myself find that to be a bit too amateurish. Anyways.

​@@lordcrunk4790You are right that the shadows from the sun shift from the right shoulder to the left and this is a mistake, but not significant

The dune movies ARE high budget movies.

@@FabledGentleman yeah and the vfx of other movies look like shite

@@FabledGentleman I meant many other high budget movies

I agree - and I hate to be that guy - but the book was still way better, and as good as these movies were, they still didn't come close to really doing the book justice. I know... I know...😂

DVD? That sounds like a real disgrace to such a beautifully shot movie.

he's amazing

Interesting. I though it was pretty amazing. Was there something you were looking for specifically? Or just that it didn't seem to give you a feeling the first film did?

I was a bit disappointed that there was yet another cliffhanger for another film twice now I've thought it wasn't going to be a sequel, but apparently so. Still good movies though imo, just need the last (?) one to know if it was truly good!

Glad you enjoyed it!

What do you mean? You mean as in 2, 3? Like why the sequels dont habe numbers or what?

nah fr

Nah, the usual garbage nowadays is really REALLY garbage. Denis is an astonishing director. Quickly became my favourite. He knows his stuff. We're experiencing classics like we have with LOTR and Dark Knight trilogy. It's rare

Also Disney/ Marvel is too busy with pandering, lecturing and dumbing down their garbage with godawful attempts at humour

"Met the requirements" perfectly fits the movie. It looks like a regular Nolan movie (which, sadly, is the current standard for getting an oscar), has no "offending" stuff (like sex or a single mention of the word "Jihad"), and feels like modern-day retelling of the bible. We root for the underdog, the bad guys aren't really a threat, and the girl is the real hero (which a complete 180 from the book, which Denis loves so much..). We're left with a dull and soul-less adaptation. Bummer.

@@deebugger you were rooting for paul??.... interesting...

Please tell us more about why having an opinion of your own is bad.

@@deebugger because your opinion is wrong

@@madgang201 thanks, I see the truth in your wise words. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@deebugger Why should anyone waste their time with you? Your taste is so bad that you reply to everyone in this comment section, begging them to take your "opinions" seriously, but how could they? when all of your "opinions" are just nitpicking. You said you are not a part of a herd, but I can clearly see what kind of herd you are in, the critical drinker herd.

Glad you enjoyed it

I kinda felt the same with the first movie, since it looked and sounded amazing, but didn't actually have much of a story arc or anything at all. The second has definitely relieved some of that and made me less hesitant to call it pretty good, but the story still doesn't feel complete, so it is on that line of feeling like it has some substance to it. The story has been building this entire time though, so the third movie coming will definitely be the deciding factor for me, as to whether what it has built so far has been worth it and fulfilling, or if it was all useless empty nonsense. I am sure book readers would disagree, but since I haven't read the book and don't plan to before seeing the third movie, I can't see the bigger picture to see if everything that is being built and set up right now actually has meaning or was a waste. It is like there is a bunch of Chekov's guns lying around. In most stories if the Chekov's guns don't go off, it is a disappointment to the audience, so generally if a story sets something up then something comes of it. Right now, so many major Chekov's guns have been set up but nothing has come of them, so for the third movie we need to see what becomes of them or it will make what has come before truly a disappointment instead of masterful build up and foreshadowing. Though since this is really only part way through the original story, this is all probably to be expected. Can't wait for the third movie.

Completely agree!

The scale of those little decisions is crazy

hell yes

agreed!

same!

totally

To each there own, but I think it's pretty impressive work. Both from an adaptation perspective and just a pure 'movie watching' experience perspective.

completely

v much so

V excited! A little sad we never got the Kid version of her tho.

@@senantiasa I would have liked to see Paul struggle to become a Fremen, not stroll through the trials like he did in the film (or any challenge presented to him during the 166 Minutes of runtime). He shouldn't have been allowed to have a romantic relationship with Chani before successfully riding a sandworm. Chani should have been more than his love interest. If I recall correctly, she worked to become a reverend mother in the books and that should have been in the film two. That would have created some tension between her and Jessica and by proxy also Jessica's son. Frankly, asking why I want character development in a movie about humans is like asking me why I want sauce for my pasta or cheese on Pizza.

@@senantiasa It all seems rushed because the film takes on the last two thirds of the book at once if I recall that correctly. Splitting Dune 2 is two separate films would probably be the best solution because runtime would indeed become a problem. If I had to cut something out it would probably be the whole Giedi Prime subplot and the emperor and Irulan scenes besides the last ones where Paul usurps the galactic throne because all of these characters are either nobodies or not relevant after the film concludes. And Chani had no tensions with anybody other than Paul in the end (and that mainly for marrying Irulan, not because she is a skeptic). The whole skeptic faction among the Fremen is underdeveloped anyways, Villeneuve just said so and that's it.

@@senantiasa Yes, the Bene Gesserit plotting and scheming is important but if I really had to stick to one film for part 2 no matter what I would cut that out to have more time for developing the other characters. But splitting part 2 into two would be my prefered solution.

@@senantiasa Be my guest.

We'll see. That's the title of the novel, but odds are in favor of the Dune Part 3 title for the film

wow, hot take

@@Nerdstalgic fell asleep too often, idk wasn't for me

PS. Visually great though.

Everyone got their own opinions, dune is jus changing Hollywood. A real big movie like lord of the rings, star wars etc

Agreed. Leaving out some of the core basics had a dulling effect. No one speaks Piter's name in Part 1 and no one speaks Irulan's name in Part 2.

Dull and soul-less. Everything was too clean, too perfect. There's never a real crises, no risk, and everyone is in on the big secret of the Bene Geserit (except Stilgar and his "as written" and "LISAN AL GAIB!" nonsense..)

@@lordcrunk4790 You can't adapt a 900 page book to a movie, not even two movies. With reasonable length that is. Something has to give. I'm one of those people who would have rather seen Villeneauve adapt Dune into a 10-12 part mini series with 1 hour length each, then we would have gotten the full story. But it still works the way he did it, just like Lord of The rings, which also removed so many elements from the films, most notably removing Tom Bombadil entirely, and thank goodness for that, that character would've destroyed the films 😂

totally!

That's the problem these days - all blockbusters "must" look like a Nolan film, especially if they want an Oscar.
