"It should be a mini-series." It is one! In fact, the answer to the question "Which adaptation of Dune is the closest to the books?" The answer is the Syfy Miniseries Dune and Dune Messiah!

Wendy is in no way a pathetic character. As someone who grew up being physically abused, and later on emotionally abused, Wendy's reaction to Jack is 100% valid. You WOULD be like Wendy, especially when it involved someone you loved and thought you knew.

I like to hike and I can't imagine having to keep that sand walk up for like 20 miles. ugh

easily my favorite Godzilla besides Final Wars

Chani knew the whole time that she would never marry Paul. She also knew he would be faithful to her and she would be the only woman to have his kids. The marriage to Irulan was for status alone and Paul never sleeps with her. The most book accurate version is the 2000 SyFy channel Dune.

The little brother with the big head that's averman from the mighty ducks trilogy

While I don't think Christopher Walken was maybe the best choice for emperor, he was also the best choice for emperor. For the simple matter that he was in the music video for Fatboy Slim's - Weapon of Choice, which of course refers to Dune.

24:10 I watched this in IMAX when it first came out. I'll never forget this moment. The whole theater was enjoying finally seeing Godzilla doing what he does best, destroying stuff. There were some cheers because we were finally about to see this version of his atomic breath. The moment it EXPLODED, the entire theater had the same reaction you two did. The fact that this version is quite literally a nuclear explosion shocked us all into silence. Not a single sound came out of the entire audience until the next scene. That moment was the single most impactful thing I've ever experienced from a Godzilla movie. A friend of mine got to see this movie in Japan a month before the US premiere. He told me several audience members cried at this scene.

my moms middle name is Kay, from this movie, my mom just told me haha

Even worse than the first part, which was already a disappointment to me. Part 2 was so choppy that I could barely stand to watch it. Both parts were so overwraught trying to hit all the beats of the story that the characters weren’t given time to breathe so that we could see them develop and change naturally. As a result I felt nothing for the characters. Even the Lynch version, in one movie, managed to give me characters that I cared about. Even with its flaws, the SYFY miniseries was far superior to this and remains the better film. I highly recommend that you watch it.

"mafia" is actually italian slang for "swag" i remember my neighbor telling me that when I was little

My only complaint with this movie was the casting. Timothee Chalamet is a fine actor. But for a 30 yr old man he looks very much like a boy. And seeing Javier Bardem's and Josh Brolin's characters defer to him just did not work for me. And I know Kyle MacLachlan looked young in 1984 but for whatever reason every time Timothee Chalamet screams at people, I'm seeing petulant teen and not powerful leader. Likewise, Zendaya is a beautiful woman who is also almost 30 yrs old. But while Sean Young looked feminine and beautiful in her stillsuit, Zendaya looks like a 12 yr old boy. The stillsuit did not work for Zendaya, her hair made her look boyish and she had this angsty teen look on her face which the director should have fixed. And her disagreement with Paul doesn't make her look powerful but rather it makes her look like a spoiled brat. It's not pretty. It's not sexy. It's not feminine. And that made the intimate scenes even more uncomfortable because I kept thinking I was watching a remake of Call Me By Your Name with two young boys. Zendaya should really fire her agent for not stepping in and doing something because this movie does not allow her beauty and her femininity to come though at all.

The Harkonnen planet revolves around a black sun, that's why they're in black and white.

The score for this movie was done by the great Elmer Bernstein.

You will gain a much better and fuller understanding of everything going on if you read the book, it’s really good

ESS AYY TEE YOU ARE DEE EH WHY, NIGHT! ESS AYY TEE YOU ARE DEE AYY WHY, NIGHT!

The point of the motorcycle was disruption--offer the ambushers a distraction until the other men could recover.

The Greek version of Hercules is Heracles, not Perseus. And the word is smitten, not smited.

My biggest issue with this movie is how they completely just zoomed past Paul’s awakening and made it so… lacking of impact or profoundness. It’s a big deal and they just treated it so casually, which is disappointing because I was looking forward to that, and seeing other peoples reaction to it. I don’t mind them changing some things from the book, I thought most of it was very well done. I’m interested to see what they do with Chani since she and Paul never had the talk they did in the book and she’s outta there, but Paul did say she will come around eventually so maybe it’s just a more realistic emotional reaction to your lover jumping into a political marriage.

Why ask so many questions? You have eyes right?

I liked her reaction

Richard Boone, the villain, played Paladin, the hero of Have Gun Will Travel

There is a mini series also and is pretty good

2 dummies watching

Lasers hitting shields causes an atomic explosion.

Amanda Plummer plays a great crazy person similar to her character here,, in the season 1 episode of Tales From The Crypt called "Lover Come Hack to Me"

The problem with the 2 new Dune movies is that it's Actor focused and not the original story. How will the Director recast the actors so that they're much older as the next movie is a couple of decades later. Will ppl have to wait a couple of decades before making the 3rd movie?

They used to air this movie a lot on the old Comedy Central channel.

Team Feydakin forever. Screw the Atreides

Speaking of those Blockbuster videos as product placement, seeing those Mentos next to the DVD makes me want some. 😅

Great review but all the Dune movies are really stupid and very boring. It's like watching paint dry. Hopefully they never make or remake any more of this trash

I think the reason they don't use the lasers immediately against the harvesters is because of the thopter. If they fired them first, the thopters would find them and kill them before they could do much. They take out the thopter and now the lasers are free to take out the harvesters.

I watched this movie on a laser disk. Cause I'm old.

I'm a dune, he's a dune, she's a dune, we're all dunes, hey!

Skipped Paul’s whole speech. I’m disappointed that’s the best part of the movie.

5:00 if you like his galloping you should check out his silly walk. 🤣

LOL.. MORE COWBELL!..Not sure that Christopher Walken was best casting.. His well known personality detracts from the Dune World for me anyhow..Like him a lot..but yeah.. Cowbell...😁

You have a home theatre? Liar. Prove it

Anthony LaPaglia was cracking up for real when Mike Myers (as the father) is going through his conspiracies and talking about the size of the little brother’s head. It makes the scene even funnier for me knowing that.

YOU ALMOST SAID " WAR NEVER CHANGES" For Dune Intro

Watching this on a monitor is a pussy move

there were 2 series that covered roughly 2.5 books worth of info done by SyFy back in the early 2000s, it is honestly the closest book translation that was done those are Frank Herbert's Dune (2000) and Frank Herbert's Children of Dune (2002) they don't have the effects budget that these movies have, but they are worth checking out and would love to see you guys react to those also

Most people can look at this shaking shit...this is why movie underrated

This was a great movie better than the recent one

Damn yall cut out most of Paul's badass speech. Pretty wack.

For America it was closing all the "Institutions" and moving everyone into the streets... By the time Alcatraz closed it was already done.

This Chani is blindsided by the marriage thing. In the book, she's aware of the why of it, and they explain it to her to make her feel better.

I always found the lab scene really disturbing 🤷

They don’t know she’s pregnant in the beginning so they aren’t thinking morning sickness

lasers don't work on shields..... "only the slow blade penetrates the shield"..... shields can't be used on the surface of Arrakis because it sends worms into a killing frenzy..... harvesters action attracts worms but not as quick as a shield would. ornithopters in air are ok. using lasers on the harvesters would alert the ornithopter to the lasers position for a quick blast from their guns..... harvesters are unarmed and eventually eaten by worms if not picked up.
