I agree about LOTR. Same anticipation, having devoured both book series. To see the book coming to life.... There are 2 events for me in the last 2 decades (give or take): LOTR and Dune.
Guess I'm gonna have to watch the first one. Never had much interest in Dune. Saw the film they made in the 80"s and thought it was silly. Great video, Ruben. Keep "em coming!
The 80's movie was very silly yes :D This version is much more true to the parts that make Dune a relevant and interesting story. Not so much an action movie but much more focused on the way the Dune universe works and lots of political scheming.
Without Messiah, the first book (which is the best of the saga, with the 4th probably coming close) has very little meaning. Messiah HAS to be read to fully grasp the events and consequences of the first book
