I just finished Dune: Messiah and all I'll say is Denis Villanueva needs to make it like its been rumored.

I would say spoiler here since they show about 5 minutes of Paul attempting his first worm ride and then a bunch of clips after. The whole thing is breathtaking. It's going to be an incredible ride seeing this on the big screen.
Oh man. This movie is going to be so epic. The first one I immediately placed in my top 5 favorite movies and many people thought it was too slow. I felt like it needed to be longer. The acting is so good. The music and sound in general really put you in a different place. Haven't been this excited since Lord of the Rings.
I just watched Dune finally two nights ago, and what a fantastic movie. Can’t wait for part two. If you still haven’t watched it, it’s on Netflix until the 29th.
Media have seen Dune: Part 2 and say it blows the first out of the water and that's with all of them loving the first one. Some saying one of the best war films ever made and a sci-fi movie that will stand for generations to come.

Hype is the mindkiller.
For those who wanna go old school-
Dune 1984 in Theater
Frankly, there's things about it I like better than the new one. But then there's things in it that it would have been better off without.

I'm a rare defender of the Sci-Fi mini-series version of Dune from about 20 years ago. This is doubly so for Children of Dune, which cover the second and third novels. As much as I loved the Zimmer soundtrack from the recent soundtrack for having a "mood," it wasn't exactly laden with memorable hooks in the same way as some other Zimmer soundtracks (e.g., Inception, Interstellar, Gladiator, etc.) of memory.
Brian Tyler's soundtrack for Children is amazing, though...
I'm going to push that miniseries on here if Children never gets made, which seems to be the plan right now if Villeneuve is to be believed that he wants to stop with Messiah and its ending.

I love Zendaya and I know nothing about fashion.
But this looks like a sexy C-3PO Halloween costume.
Early reviews are so good. Man, I cannot wait to see part 2
After finishing the 3rd book, I honestly hope they don’t because it goes off the rails with Leto.
They will have to make changes to actually make a movie out of it IMO.
It has been a while since I read the books but I thought a further layer of why the Emperor set this all up was that the Harkonnen were getting too wealthy from controlling spice production for 80 years. He knew that a war between Harkonnen and Atreides was a two birds one stone fix. It would seriously hamper Atreides from continuing to gain the power of favor with the other houses (they would be decapitated and cease being a major house) and it would damage the wealth and military might of the Harkonnen. In the movie they even allude to how much even the first blow of the war cost the Harkonnen treasury.
Maybe Villeneuve doesn't think the whole hybrid man-worm emperor God who rules the galaxy for thousands of years will work in a movie all that well.
Son sat down with me last weekend and surprised me pulling up Part 1. He said it was going away at the end of the month and he wanted to see it again before Part 2. Neither wife nor son have read the books so I answered a lot of questions as best I could for both of them. I think son is pretty hyped for Part 2.
