[@possessedbygenesis8585]

Totally disagree with the point of Feyd-Rautha being "neutered". First off, he comes across as a bit of a spoiled brat for the first half of the book, but more importantly, he used poison during the gladiator scene in the novel. He tried to use poison against the Baron to assassinate him. He used poison when he tried to fight Paul. To make it sound like he's this ultimate beast in the book and a fake warrior in the movie is way off. I found him to be way more imposing in the movie. Second, and more importantly, that wasn't a "regular dude" he was fighting. If you paid attention, you'd know that was Lieutenant Lanville and also the fight choreographer for the movie. He was mentioned by Idaho in the first movie and you see him doing some training. He is a highly skilled Atreides fighter. Baron leaving him undrugged was the perfect way to display just how brutal Feyd was.

But at the same time, he’s impatient and temperamental unlike Paul and also full of ego. The point of the gladiator scene is to show that this young power hungry kid grew up to be formidable, but still dependent on his crutches. I also loved the added scenes in the movie. I don’t want to spoil anything but his interaction with Rabban made me go holy shit he’s the real beast!

Yep, and while Dune came first, it has elements of Andor (political themes, character development, more mature writing), with the mainline saga (for the reasons you mentioned), and The Book of Boba Fett (sand dunes, protagonist joining sand people who help induce visions and fight against enemies wanting to control the spice).

Yeah but Star Wars totally lacked the "heavy stuff" like oracular powers that bring jihad terror to untold millions. Powers that were partly bestowed by eugenics and manipulation of bloodlines that stretch in time, and also by a substance that is so powerful it allows interstellar travel without resorting to banned artificial intelligence and other trippy stuff. Oh and the inversion of the savior hero journey trope on its head (spoiler: Paul's not Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, not by a mile). The inspiration is pretty surface level if you ask me. But I'm more of a Dune fan than Star Wars/Star Trek fan....

The "third guy" Feyd fights in the arena was one of Duke Leto's generals and blade masters - or whatever their rank is, he is actually in the first movie in a couple of scenes like the war council etc. thats why Feyd was pissed at the Baron and thought he wanted to kill him.

[@jondonnelly3]

Baron did definitly want to kill him cause he was psychotic and desires to kill the Baron! and his position. Baron is very clever in either scenario he would come out on top and knows exactly how to play Fayd. If Paul was not op as fuk with precinct ability knowing where, when to strike and the narrow path to victor for sure the Baron would have achieved his objectives. In some ways that outcome would have been better for all as it would have saved billions of lives.

Duncan Idaho and Gurney are also arguably the two best warriors in the universe, both could beat Paul. And of course he was trained by those men.

CHOAM basically doesn't exist. Haven't even seen a guild navigator, which is why the spice is important to begin with. Bene Gesserit are very very weak in this series, they are almost jedi in the books. Stilgar is an idiot I don't know why. Paul is a weak man who can't make his own decisions. Aliyah not even born. Paul is now the abomination and not the Kwisatz haderach....As I go in I recall the Lady Jessica saying "we, we, we, we" when even referring to her past lives. Bene Gesserit train their entire lives for this not to be a thing. As we all learn with Aliyah. IDK the final icing for me was when they randomly run on the ships of the great houses and take off. Still no meeting with CHOAM. Also people were very scared of Paul beating the emperor and baron at once. Not everyone was in rebellion. Those that did were rather swiftly defeated.

Feyd Reutha definitly didn't feel neutered. It is well established in both book and first film that Atreides soldiers are actually insane. They are only really threatened in 1:1 combat by Sardaukar, who are the most feared fighters in the universe (until the Holy War). Feyd being able to 1v1 one of them not on drugs sets his physical strength up well. And then he undergoes and succeeds the gom jabbar test, showing his mental fortitude to be on par with Pauls aswell.

[@ProtonCannon]

I would have loved to see Feyd during the Gom-Jabbar test, to see him how he reacts and endures the pain like is he shocked by it or he actually revels in it like a true madman but sadly it was done off screen. A shame, I found Feyd WAY MORE compelling and scary than in the books.

But its really just one movie split. If there was a part two different story then we could compare.

[@Tgruss]

I didn't mind how they changed Cheney's character. I agree that her new position being antagonistic to the religious aspects of Paul's ascension was a nice contrast to the rest of the story, but I didn't like how Zendaya played the character like she was a 22 year old college student from California and not a fremen from Dune. Evenrytime she contested the prophecy she sounded like someone from today criticizing the issue and it took me out of the story.

[@Direksone]

Herbert himself hated how people loved Paul as the moral of the story is to not believe in prophets etc. Hence Dune Messiah. So if that type of criticism takes you out of it you don't understand what Herbert's point was. Again, hence why Messiah was written.

[@maxi1ification]

That's precisely the point my man. Everybody was seeing Paul as a mythical larger-than-life figure, and throughout all that Chani always saw the man, not just because she was "bitchy" (and I mean that in a derisive tone from the way people are referring to her), but rather because of all Fremen she was the one who truly knew him as a person and saw beyond the "prophecies" both before AND afterwards when religious zeal really took over everybody. Chani represents, in this movie, the sort of skepticism that Herbert wished to convey as ideal, because for all the ease with which people get swept up in the grandeur of others to end up following them blindly, lots of tragedy follows. Must be added, at the end, the straw that broke the camel's back wasn't the religious thing itself, but rather also a very personal issue of Paul playing politics to elevate himself by marrying Irulan, while leaving her behind in the process. It's not that his actions weren't logical there, but rather that as logical as they were, they were still hurtful. Also, dare I say, the portrayal of the female characters in Dune hasn't aged the most gracefully. In this film they gave them much more agency, even while revolving around Paul and the consequences of his actions, WITHOUT fundamentally changing their role in the story.

Yeah that was one weird thing about the gladiator fight.

The drug was also supposed to make their skin red and they painted the non drugged dude red and all. And there is also this whole thing where one of the daggers Feyd is using is venomous and he like swapped them or something and it sets up the ending where the final fight is supposed to have that plot twist with poisonous dagger as well. Like idk why they cut this all out, it wouldn't take much more time and would make things more interesting.

[@pathfinder2reality]

I am a HUGE Dune fan and this movie was good and beautifuly made with great scenes and music score. However, plot wise, this movie is quite empty. No one knows what Spice is and why is it so important. Spacing Guild, one of the most important power players are completely missing and nothing is explained about them. The whole Kvizatz Haderach thing is vage and no one knows what the hell it's about. The Prescient vision, genetic memory are not explained enough for non book readers to understand. The Mentats are a throwaway, Thufir Hawatt is not even un this movie. Chani and her feminist group of Power Puff girls rudiculing Stilgar, a Naib of Sietch Tabr, calling him somehow stupid and a radical would never happen in Fremen society. Emperor and Princess Irulan are throwaways and Emperors reason for killing the Atreides is beyond stupid. The whole Dune universe seems small, with couple of planets, and nothing is explained or even mentioned about the Butlerian Jihad, the ban on technology, the Rise of the great schools like the Guild or the Bene Gesserit. The life cycle of the worms and its relation to the Spice is completely thrown out of the movie and not even mentioned. Alia of the Knife is not even born in this movie and that suggests that it's been less than 9 months since the downfall of House Atreides and Pauls venture in the desert and not 4-5 years like in the book. Paul and Chani never had a son etc The list goes on. I an sure the director could've given us nore exposition instead of wide shots of sand dunes with epic music.

[@malcador]

You masterfully explained what has been on the tip of my tongue since seeing the movie. Looked great, sounded great, was in awe of a lot of it, but the main thing I was thinking about when it was over was the complete lack of a Spacing Guild. Mentats were never explained in the first, I was expecting some explanation in this one. None. My girlfriend hasn't read the book and she didn't enjoy it. I could see how she wouldn't, there's way too much missing for a completely new person to grasp this thing. The Emperor was this pathetic old man... The Paul vs Fayd scene was so much better in the 1984 version. And spice is literally just a Mcguffin... No real exploration of how it's important and why. I was underwhelmed. It was too long as well. Just a lot missing and too much focus on stuff that wasn't integral to the worldbuilding.

[@Sniperx2291]

I agree with you entirely, but the majority of non book readers will call us snobs for having this take. Overall the film was enjoyable at times, but it really left a lot to be desired. The whole movie almost felt like a montage of the book rather than a direct adaptation.

[@Swisskies]

This is what books are for, I feel like you're comparing the strengths of books against the weaknesses of movies. 50% of the film would have been explaining stuff, and audiences don't want to be talked at for hours on end. Denis understands you need to show a story, not explain a story.

[@oldmatttv]

@@SwisskiesI disagree, to me the balance was clearly off. There were far too many scenes where the emphasis is on the mood, the surface level stuff. And so many scenes where time was wasted on some extra beauty shots, mood shots, cheesy dialogue. All of that can be important, but in this film it absolutely came at a cost, because at the same time it felt like the story itself was rushed, many things just jumped into the next thing and into action where far more depth and explanation was needed, and a lot things (such as the priestessess and whatnot, whom I'm assuming are basically behind all of what is happening really, or maybe not since we'd rather keep them mysterious than involve them in the film in a meaningful way) were left unexplored almost entirely, leaving the bits we did get from those things feel rather arbitrary, and just a waste, rather than something more meaningful. All of this extends the run time, without adding enough meaning and impact. The wrong things have too much the focus here. The film feels rushed, yet incredibly slow. I'd also say there was a fair bit of explaining, rather than showing, which is opposite of what you are saying. So much so, in my opinion, that it caused some of the above mentioned issues. Many times, the explaining/exposition was done on things where it didn't need to be, and yet the showing wasn't done with things that needed much more to be shown. And, some explaining needed to be done with things that didn't get explained at all. Really, rather messy pacing and storytelling. I clearly haven't read the books, so this is not a book reader's opinion. Yet, this film feels incredibly overrated to me. It felt thoroughly shallow. There were even times where it felt ridiculous. Some of the worship scenes and moments felt almost like Life of Brian rather than a serious film (this is a slight exaggeration, for the sake of painting a picture). The worms are just plot devices now, used whenever. Is spice still an important factor here? The final battle started out of nowhere, yet ended even faster. Why should I care about any of it anyway, I don't care about anyone participating in it. None of the characters are appealing (perhaps so on purpose, but then there is zero emotional connection to anything). Acting is just mediocre at best, cheesy at worst. I was surprised how much I felt like I was watching something that really was meant to be a bit cheesy and quirky and over the top, only forced into a frame of a super serious over the top dramatic cinematic audio visual spectacle.

Everyone has the right to their opinion. I do not share the view that Christopher Walken falls short in “Dune 2” because he is recognizable and “just being Christopher Walken”. Every major recognizable actor in this film such as Josh Brolin or Zendaya would just be themselves then, as they too are “just” playing parts. As for perhaps “not looking the part”, Walken in my opinion does not have to look, say, as physically imposing. He can be the more calculating type of ruler as he is here, and channel the striking face of Walken’s character from “The Dogs of War”, a film that came out not long after Walken won his Oscar for “The Deer Hunter”-before he became better known for his “Walken-isms” thathave fueled so many impressions. I am grateful that Walken got the opportunity to be part of and grace this nearly perfect sci-fi spectacle of our current times…

the ending is offensive to the lore of the story. When you think you're clever and change the story but you're a crap writer. If you want to watch decent Dune then watch the miniseries from 2000. Has Alec Newman as Paul Altreides and James McVoy as Children of Dune

[@jetsetatrophy67]

If I am not mistaken, that type of weaponry is not common in the Dune universe. Which plays a lot better in the book. I don't think the movie explains it well obviously with you as an example. It was also repurposed a bit from book to movie, I believe it's artillery weaponry that the Harkonnens use and it's during the initial surprise attack on the Atreides. Like with the Atomics, there are a lot of "old world" taboos.

Many people mistook it for black-white footage, but it was actually conveying the dark planet as it was described in the books.

[@LordLemoncake]

Sorry but changing Chani's character to dumb down the original story to show people how religious programming on a desperate population works was so unnecessary when you know that Chani and Paul will have two children and Chani's death is a major plotline in the books. This adaptation was only visually pleasing because the 1st movie left out too many things for newcommers to understand the world better and the second movie literally changed the story for no real reason so i have to say that the Dune miniseries in 2000 was a much better adaptation what stayed true to the book in many regards. I am obviously a book reader, but i talked to many people who never read the books and they were clueless about way too many things so if the movie was made for them then it failed and if it was made for book readers then it also failed. I am sure it will get many praises and awards because the movie industry is in an all time low but i am not impressed by this adaptation.

[@jetsetatrophy67]

All it really did was fast forward to their relationship in Dune Messiah. The third film is going to have that same three way relationship drama between Paul, Chani and Irulan in the second book. From a story telling standpoint this will work better to gel part 2 and 3, meeting Herberts vision.
