[@Kacpa2]

​@the9thplanet768 Not really. He was wasted on that role. Just a frail old man that barely mustered enough energy for one taunt. He didnt even look indimidating when he was berating the Harkonnen. As much as i love Walken he was the wrong choice. Would love to see him in some role that actually uses his talents well, instead of him being forced to actively not be liks himself and lean heavily into frail old man part, that does disservice to him and the character from Dune books. Its perfect storm of worst thongsnand decisions in otherwise nigh perfect movie.

[@benw9921]

@@Kacpa2 I thought it was an interesting choice to depict him as weak

[@doge8825]

@@Kacpa2the emperor is actually very weak in the novels too. His wife is a been gesserit who won’t allow him a son, his daughter is also trained in their ways, and his lineage would likely have ended with him anyways. He presents himself as big and pompous like wearing the clothing of a Sarsaukar and having grand architecture when his only true power is the ever more complacent army of Sardaukar. I admit it’s fun to watch that difference of how he presents himself vs how he actually is in the novels but the movies are already packed tight anyway and I didn’t mind them skipping straight to the point, especially since we see most of his scenes from the perspective of others anyway

I get that vibe off Christopher Walken when I watch **anything** he does. Big-budget movie, low-budget indie film, main character, brief appearance, any genre...when I'm watching him play a role I always get the sense that on some level, in some way, somewhere back in his mind (but not, like, *really* far back) he's thinking "Holy shit...I **still** can't believe I get paid great big piles of cash to do this!! This is *AWESOME*!!!" I think it's most definitely present in the video. I remember seeing an interview with Walken years ago in which he mentioned that he didn't get into showbiz to be a movie actor; what he *really* wanted to be was a "Song-And-Dance Man," doing stage musicals, stuff like that. He got a lot of that training well before his career started transitioning into straight character roles. Here, he's pursuing his first love. Old as he is, he can still cut a rug. I think that energy gets projected into his performances and informs upon them. But one reason why he's one of all-time fave actors.
