[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 1078924, member: 73546"] [HEADING=1]What Is It?[/HEADING] The 2024 American science fiction movie [URL='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15239678/']Dune: Part Two[/URL]. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15239678/[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YUzQa_1RCE']Dune: Part Two | Official Trailer 2[/URL]: [MEDIA=youtube]_YUzQa_1RCE[/MEDIA] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LLkTslsslQ']DUNE: PART TWO – Movie Review[/URL]: [MEDIA=youtube]4LLkTslsslQ[/MEDIA] [HEADING=1]My Thoughts[/HEADING] I assumed that this movie would be better than Dune: Part One because I liked the middle to the end of the book, Dune, better than the beginning to the middle of the book. Also, there was so much that was not covered in the first movie, that I assumed that the second would be better because we would finally get some of those missing parts. Last Saturday I watched this movie at a movie theater in Leesville with my brothers TDC & KDC, my sister-in-law KC, and my brother TDC’s girlfriend JF. Unfortunately, it was the worst movie theater experience of the last 4 movies that I have seen in a movie theater. Either all the speakers were not on or the volume was too low to hear the music or sound effects much, you could hear the dialogue, but the music & sounds did not stand out at all. The visual quality was lower than the previous 3 movies that I saw in theaters. They did not have the special Dune popcorn buckets, and the others with me said that the popcorn smelled strange / stinky to put it kindly. The crowd was small because we caught the 3:OO PM showing, but the audience was pretty dead / low energy & too quiet. The previews / trailers et cetera took 30 minutes to finish, and most of them were not good. So this movie deserves a second viewing for me to get a better opinion of how I really feel about it. At this time, though, I & the others were disappointed with this movie; it was not bad, but our reaction to it was mostly flat. I did not like it as much as I had expected, and this movie skipped more things & characters from the book than I had expected; and there were more changes that were done that I did not expect or like. Denis is not the director that I want to continue this franchise alone, he needs someone to help cover his weaknesses as a director, and to stay more faithful to the lore. I am disappointed with Dune: Part One & Dune: Part Two as adaptations of Dune. Some visuals were good & I like that it was more serious, but so much else was striped away & flattened & sterilized & unexplained & lost & changed even when he had time to cover more. Dune: Part One & Dune: Part Two were Denis’s art / style over substance. Denis basically took a painting, threw water on it, washing away at least half or more of it & washing out a lot of the colors, and redid it in his style with a limited color palette; that is my analog of how I feel about his Dune movies. Dune: Part Two was easier to follow & understand than Dune: Part One, at least. If you have not seen the [URL='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/']Frank Herbert’s Dune[/URL] & [URL='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287839/']Frank Herbert’s Children Of Dune[/URL] miniseries, please watch them, you will learn more & understand more et cetera if you watch those. I will probably like Dune: Part Two better the second time under better viewing conditions, as of now, I would rate it a 5 – 6 out of 10. I still recommend watching both parts once, and then go watch both Dune miniseries, which will help you better understand books 1 – 3. [/QUOTE]
