Yeah some people have deliberately avoided trailers and want to go in blind, obviously everyone knows how Dune goes.

Well my four companions certainly enjoyed it, and two of them have never read, seen, or played anything Dune.

For me, every time something really good happened, they went and missed an opportunity or dropped a scene I would've liked to see.

And the Baron didn't do it for me. At all.

E:

But that's the thing. The movie was good, solid even, but if you've read the book you will most certainly be wanting for a scene here, a character there.

That's pretty accurate I think. Also unrelated but I hear your avatar every time I see it, it's great.

My favourite scene was missing, and three important (to the book) characters were barely there, but the plot makes sense and some parts are meticulously detailed.

There's a scene where they not only nail the aesthetic of the ornithopters, the individual movements are shown exactly like they're described in the book.

To everyone griping about "the dinner scene" not being in the movie: do you honestly think there's a good way to film something that's occurring 50% in peoples thoughts during a dinner party without resorting to Lynch whisper narration? Kinda seems like it would grind the movie to a halt

I feel like it has to be there; but I simply cannot think of any way to do it. Maybe some things just can't work in film.

Some things actually do not work in films, and it�s why different narrative medias (books, games, movies, theaters) still have a place to tell their own version of a story.

Films absolutely can contain long dinner scenes full of banter. There are films that are mostly dinner banter scenes even.

Where it gets difficult is doing that in a fictional universe or a setting where lots of the background knowledge of the characters isn�t shared by the intended audience. This still isn�t impossible though. What makes it impossible in this case is that the movie is being made for the approval of blockbuster producers who want a movie that tens of millions of stupid people will go to watch. Dinner scene goes the way of Bombadil for the same reason, it doesn�t �move the plot� and threatens to confuse people and therefore it�s gotta go so we can sell some seats.

There's a pretty good scene in the Suspiria remake where a bunch of witches go out for dinner. While they're seemingly casually bantering, suddenly you start to hear the telepathic messages they're actually conveying back and forth hidden behind their performance of normalcy.

Wish I could find a clip online but yeah, something like that could work pretty well idk

Yeah I feel like this too but it is so important to the early part of the story that a director should at least try to shoot it.

Dense scene that not only conveys the social intricacies of the setting, but also illustrates the soft power of the bene gesserit while also showing in subtle ways how deeply hosed the duke is on Arrakis.

I feel the movie did this well enough that the dinner scene isn't really needed, also I didn't read the books or watch the lynch movie before I saw Denny's version
