Dune Part 2: Less boring, still no Masterpiece.

Thank you for watching our Dune 2 conversation. Basically, with the exception of a couple of comments, Dune fans responded exactly how we expected Dune fans to respond. Dune fans are, if anything, both loyal and ready to go to any length to defend their beloved franchise. I recently came across a video of Siskel & Ebert responding to the 1984 Dune. Their words, transcribed as accurately as I could, are below. They could apply, with the exception of the massive CGI backdrop of the modern movies movie, to the current versions of Dune and Dune 2. If we are in agreement with Siskel & Ebert on Dune, we stand in good company. Siskel: Basically, I watched two things while watching Dune. I watched the movie, yeah, and I watched my watch. This film was pure torture to sit through. Ebert: I think it’s a bad movie. I don’t recommend it. But I do think it qualifies as one of the great follies of motion picture history, and I think that for some people… First of all, the Dune fanatics are probably going to go see it anyway. For certain other people… Siskel: Let ‘em. Ebert: …there’s a certain amount of interest in this film. There’s a certain amount of shocking interest… Siskel: But why isn’t it…but why isn’t it? Ebert: …in these amazing sets that are, you know, totally senseless and never used and they walk though and you see 30 million dollars behind them and then they go into some little room and they do something. And then it’s amazing that then they throw in the narration that starts out with the actress Virginia Madsen on screen… Siskel: Right. Ebert: ..and she’s saying these are a few things that you need to know about my father and about these four (inaudible) and about the worms and something and you’re saying, “Wait a minute, I’d rather be confused and not know anything than be confused by the explanation.” Siskel: I sat there, you may have heard me, five minutes into this film I yelled out to the screen “I give up!” And then I had to watch the rest of it.

Dune 2 was in fact a masterpiece, definitely one of the best sci movies of the last 20 years.

[@Maria-up4tl]

If we only judge sci fi stories by their visual effects, sure 😅

[@paperclips1306]

​​@@Maria-up4tlyes visual effects are 💯 important. But the world that they are showing is much more important, and for that visual effects are essential. You cannot remove visual effects and expect the dune world to be good. In that case too much dialogue and story will creep in and spoil the movie. So u r sort of correct but wrong. And music is also very Integral for feeling the emotions of the dune.

This is up there with the wordt cinema opinions I've ever come across. Your inability to comprehend sci-fi nuance, stellar cinematography, and rich world-building doesn't make the film weak. It simply shines light on your lack of taste or care when watching a well crafted piece of filmmaking. I don't think the film is quite on the masterpiece level, but your critiques are rather ludicrous across the board.

Quick little correction, The following are more about explaining some underlining ideas you may have missed or to address possible mistakes It's not meant as a criticism of your review. He didn't abandon the "common girl" he simply got through the standard political marriage for the sake of convenience Chani will remain his concubine and he will show no love to the princess and have no kids with her. Her line will end there and she knows it the entire time. Riding on the worm is a bit convoluted and not touched in details, so I agree with you it's not exactly great. But the general idea is the hook lifts bits of scales and the sands gets underneath, causing irritation to the worm and as a results they avoid going down. By controlling that, you can effectively steer the direction of the worm It's a bit dumb but it's effectively how it works. Spice would be more akin to Oil, except it would only be found in a small region on Earth, (let's say a country the size of Switzerland.) If you have the monopoly over Oil, you have a lot of power, People are fighting over it because of how useful it is Words and their definition can indeed be quite tedious, Though, how I ended up learning most of it was by watching videos on KZbin that explained the concepts more in details Dune is effectively written as a universe of its own which doesn't really care much about the readers So there is very little handholding and the characters acts in ways that are consistent for the universe they're part of. For many people it might be tedious and difficult to follow along and for others it is incredibly immersive. The prophecy is indeed a difficult one to take because it has more to do with philosophy which doesn't translate well in movie format. Later in the story, Paul does comment on it saying no matter what he does, people will take his action and amplify them through myths and legend and that he has no control over it which has for effect to paralyze him to some extent. People will see what they want to see and ignore everything else which has for effect to create self fulfilling prophecies. The witches use these to their advantage by manipulating beliefs over centuries to have backup plans if they get stranded on a planet or whatever

Dune 1 was a boring (bleep) show and I went in and wanted to like it, Dune 2 is better than 1 ...but wayyyyy overhyped. It was an okay generic sci-fi movie, with a mediocre screenplay, great production quality and i think it was saved by actors performances in the end. And before someone screams: read the books!!! ... I have and they are okay, nothing really to rave about. But in the context of the movie, they have taken everything out that makes Dune unique and changed things for no other reasons than to make it more suitable for so-called modern audiences (wokeness virus). I mean in the books Paul drinks the wormjuice to gain a full map of future events and by then has already accepted his role as teh messiah (and just tries to navigate the least worse path), not because his mommy told him to do so and when he gets out of the trance he is changed more profoundly than the movie shows ... as even his mother fears him at some level. He basically is a bene gesserit with super mentat abilities .... but as the movie neither fully explains any of the two, nor the navigator guild, which by extension also would explain the importance of spice. Also the way they changed Chani, doesn't make sense ... as in the books she remains his true love as a concubine and gives him two children, whereas the princess is just a tool to remain in power. Also the toughness and origin of the Sadukar is not really explored , which by extension would also explain how tough the Fremen are and how it would be possible for them to wage and win a galactic holy war. In the end , everything that makes Unique and interesting is tuned down, making it a generic vanilla sci fi movie... saved by performances and high production quality

[@nexx410]

Everything that bothered you I really liked. I’m a huge cinematography fan just watching these beautifully constructed scenes is thrilling in a different way than other movies. The sheer scale of space and the mood just made me realise how claustrophobic other movies seem. I also love the show don’t tell approach and it doesn’t make it hard to follow at least for me. Also didn’t have a problem to remember words. What I will agree with you is that the movie suffers a bit from grandiosity. It could do with some smaller scenes where the dialogue is developed more just to give more flavour to the characters and give some insight into their mind. I also thought the villains were flat and cartoonish with all the random killing of people and boring villain dialogue.

Not because the arguments were critical but it seemed like you didnt really put an effort in understanding it and at some points had no clue what you are talking about which is understandable if the movies were such torture for you. The fact that you got some things plainly wrong and the fact on how negativly you were talking about a certain audiency made me think that this may in fact be a ragebait to provoke fans of the books and movies.

[@BestMovieReviewer448]

Only idiots say opinion

[@6Churches]

One critical thing that Dune doesn't explain is that Paul doesn't get to have any friends because the threat of poisoning and assassination is too high - that's why his only friends are his military mentors. I feel like it should have been made obvious and would have made the first film a little more sensible. Spice is not a street drug. Its primary effect is to extend human life by decades - which it can do for wealthy people without them being fully addicted (blue within blue eyes). But Spice also allows space travel, Bene Gesserit prowess, Fremen martial skill, Paul's prescience, Mentat mental skills, and so much more. You don't get high - you get smarter, healthier and live longer with no side effects, it's just a wonder drug really. Herbert's construction of the world(s) is highly specific for understanding the balance of power - but this isn't communicated very well in the film. Paul's vision isn't perfect. And every action he takes leads to a multiplicity of consequences - there are some minds he cannot see, some futures he cannot see. The Missionaria Protectiva of the Bene Gesserit just always lays the groundwork for 'some' Bene Gesserit to have their son who 'might be' the Kwizatz Haderach ... so it's a flexible prophecy about securing the protection and support of the Bene Gesserit super-being whenever and wherever he should be found. So there is no clear prophetic criteria, other than a general sense that he would be well versed in the culture he's embedded in.... and that if he was the K.H. then he would have a capacity to mobilise his sight.

Actually, I (Richard) have read a lot of science fiction. I have no idea how much Noah has read. Noah was loaded for bear for this video. I was as uninterested in discussing Dune 2 as I was in watching it. I tried to wrap up the video at the 20 minute point, but ultimately couldn't stop Noah from having his say. My wife watched it and started laughing when she could see that I was finished and our son wasn't. I think the thing that interests me the most is how some people are keyboard warriors and vicious in their comments, and some people are creative, funny, and ultimately respectful. I think Dune movies are perfect for people who have read Dune and love it. That's okay.

Dune 2 sucked just like the first one, both movies were boring.

[@DTEARS42]

I’m getting the feeling some of us aren’t fully focused when we watch cinema

[@ticklemytesla2683]

Right 😂

[@PorkChopsRiceandPeaches]

I wasn't. I watched out of a desire to give the franchise a second chance.

[@s3bbybas3dr3x]

love seeing the dislike to like ratio overwhelmingly in favor to dislikes.

[@miyamotomusashi6450]

Where do you see the dislikes?

[@humbleopulence]

I adore the dune books and couldn't agree with you more. Characters are paper thin, the world is too minimalist and understated and the villains are laughable. That third act is also an editing crime.

[@PorkChopsRiceandPeaches]

"That third act is also an editing crime." 🤣🤣

[@greasychip333]

beautifully shot, some decent acting - but pedestrian and less entertaining than the first. On IMAX constant booming made me feel like I spent 3 hours sat behind a jet engine.

[@wispy893]

“Pedestrian” you are in KZbin comments on a 400 view video that is the definition of pedestrian

[@greasychip333]

@@wispy893 Ouch. I will comment accordingly on a review of this video (although assuming that video is in itself exceptional, I would hate to fall in to the same trap twice of commenting that something is pedestrian via something that is itself pedestrian).

[@rendros88]

Agreed about the IMAX experience - it blew my ears out. Excited to watch it again on my home setup.

I appreciate your honesty. This is still probably the worst take on anything relating to cinema that I have ever heard though. I feel like you didn't even make an effort to understand the movie.

Thank you for watching our Dune 2 conversation. Basically, with the exception of a couple of comments, Dune fans responded exactly how we expected Dune fans to respond. Dune fans are, if anything, both loyal and ready to go to any length to defend their beloved franchise. I recently came across a video of Siskel & Ebert responding to the 1984 Dune. Their words, transcribed as accurately as I could, are below. They could apply, with the exception of the massive CGI backdrop of the modern movies movie, to the current versions of Dune and Dune 2. If we are in agreement with Siskel & Ebert on Dune, we stand in good company. Siskel: Basically, I watched two things while watching Dune. I watched the movie, yeah, and I watched my watch. This film was pure torture to sit through. Ebert: I think it’s a bad movie. I don’t recommend it. But I do think it qualifies as one of the great follies of motion picture history, and I think that for some people… First of all, the Dune fanatics are probably going to go see it anyway. For certain other people… Siskel: Let ‘em. Ebert: …there’s a certain amount of interest in this film. There’s a certain amount of shocking interest… Siskel: But why isn’t it…but why isn’t it? Ebert: …in these amazing sets that are, you know, totally senseless and never used and they walk though and you see 30 million dollars behind them and then they go into some little room and they do something. And then it’s amazing that then they throw in the narration that starts out with the actress Virginia Madsen on screen… Siskel: Right. Ebert: ..and she’s saying these are a few things that you need to know about my father and about these four (inaudible) and about the worms and something and you’re saying, “Wait a minute, I’d rather be confused and not know anything than be confused by the explanation.” Siskel: I sat there, you may have heard me, five minutes into this film I yelled out to the screen “I give up!” And then I had to watch the rest of it.

[@corneliuspildershmidt]

Best sci-fi movie ever made! Better then empire strikes back!

[@luluflu1140]

😂

[@PorkChopsRiceandPeaches]

That's not a high bar to hurdle.

[@brianmelton400]

Well regardless of the opinion whats with the Soy Boy toys and stuff in the background?

[@inconnector]

I agree with your conclusion, the movies are boring and less interesting than Lynches version. But your arguments are kinda stupid - too many new words in a new world? Boo hoo. Grow up.

[@danielt.3808]

so what im getting from this video is you guys gush about marvel movies, yet shit on dune. tells me all i need to know what sort of lowgrade movies yall enjoy

[@theanimeboy9953]

I'm convinced that you're just posting this to get views. I usually respect people's opinions, but saying that Dune part 2 was boring in any way is just OBJECTIVELY WRONG
