Last Film You Watched

I absolutely loved the first one. The second one hits different, and I remember thinking that 'this is what it must've been like watching The Empire Strikes Back' after you've only seen the first Star Wars.

The tone, cinematography and sound have the same vibes as the first, but I think the baseline creative design and approach to the whole Dune Universe established in the first film landed so well with the novelty factor. This one is more complex and trippy but is definitely a slow burner.

Overall, I was intensely invested in it from start to finish, even though a lot of it was slow. That really paid off with what were some legitimately brilliant sequences, and the development of Paul's character was great.

Just got back from Dune 2 and I think this brilliantly sums it up.

I’ll just add, much darker than the first and a couple of flat spots with the romance between Paul and Chani, but another instant sci-fi classic film.

The sets, the cinematography, the battle scenes and in particular the scenes where the Fremmen ride the sand worms, just off the scale.

I’ll rewatch at the first opportunity and really study it this time.

Beautifully set up for the third.

And I assume Christopher Walken owned it again?

'You know... Movies where I'm the bad guy... The best!... Role to play.'

Well, my Walken impersonation does leave a lot to be desired for, but he makes one helluva scary villain.

Seems more people have seen Dune 2 now so here’s my take:

Visually amazing, score was incredible, casting (for the most part) was spot on.

Pacing though? Way, way off for me. I kept thinking I’d fallen asleep and missed minutes. There were a few anticlimactic moments as well.

I think it should have been 3 shorter films for the first book.

The only thing I thought they got wrong was the romance scenes, as it just took the film off kilter and slowed it right down.
