He was a great Stilgar. Stole the scenes he was in Edit: chani is an extreme non-character in this which is really my only complaint

Javier’s Stilgar was good, I thought everyone was even Momoa. I do think him going beardless near the end was a mistake tho. Keep that bushy beard! Also wouldnt the laser from the hark ship that was trying to hit Duncan’s thopter blow them up too if it connected with the shields?

They never address the shield/lasgun reaction in the movie and focused on the shields just being bad because of worms. I really enjoyed the movie's take on the surprise attack too. I wasn't sure if we were gonna get the Baron's artillery bombardment thing or not, so they handled it all well

Stilgar with a heavy Spanish accent was unintentionally funny, I didn't think he was all that great.

I know I posted about it ITT a few times already, but the 'Chai Hulud' shot I came up with is basically just equal parts Kahlua (or some other coffee liquer) and Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai drink, with a tiny bit of blue curaçao at the bottom and a shaving of cinnamon on top. It's surprisingly good.

"A trusted and proven inside source for Giant Freakin Robot has now shared with us that Warner Bros has greenlit Dune 2." Laff @ trusted and proved, more like making stuff up and hopes it is true.

Or, would it help me enjoy it? I'm pretty psyched about seeing it either way. Also, I vaguely remember the 80s version. And that miniseries that was on.. some channel at some point. In my adventures, I also read Doon : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lampoon%27s_Doon Lol. It was something about pretzels and .. beer? Also this "Pall (now head of House Agamemnides)"

The film extremely skimps on the politics of the first book, which have helped elevate it for so long. Do yourself a favor and reread the book.

Saw it. Loved it. It needed far more bagpipes during Gurney's charge, the score just crushed it. And the play on how the visions work, with Jamis in the visions saying he'll teach Paul the ways of the desert, and he ultimately does but not how you'd think. Really great.

Just watched it. movie good. very faithful to the books, almost to a fault. the changes they made are mostly cosmetic. they strip back on a fair bit of the politicking and everyone's favorite dinner scene is cut. it loses a lot of the more... baroque weirdness of the Lynch version and substitutes it for a weird sort of brutalism, but Lynch is Lynch and can't really be imitated imo. The weirdness is there, but it's more a grounded sort. The Lynch version is still #1 in my heart, but this is the most textually faithful adaptation yet, and I really want at least Messiah filmed. God Emperor is the moonshot scenario also was it just me or were some of the refinery scenes and the over all look of the vehicles very reminiscent of the RTS games? I wish Deakins had been DP on this one, he could have made the desert into more of it's own character, but movie still kicks tremendous amounts of rear end. God Emperor movie or bust.

Movie was great and I got to explain a bunch of nerd lore to my fiancé on the way home. She enjoyed it too so I guess it passes the general audience test.

Ultimately I think the movie's problem is that the main animating impulse was being faithful to the book and making it look and sound really cool while flowing like a movie should, with surprisingly little other motivation. That makes it not a disaster, but not really an adaptation that builds off of or furthers or deepens the original thing either

I loved it, but it seems like every book-accurate dialog scene that was in the 1984 version but was cut from this one was replaced with an action scene. I get that's how you sell it to a general audience, but I hope there's a director's cut somewhere.

This is why Denis Villeneuve is the best director around - he loving did it. He made a Dune movie and it made sense and it was great ahhhhhh loving go see it it's amazing.

Much as I respect the crazy poo poo in lynch dune, this felt like a complete, coherent movie unlike lynch dune. It just doesn't have that special 'elevated by the adaptation' quality to me eg the lotr films do

Saw the movie and loved it. It doesn't have the tangible weirdness of Lynch's movie, but the art direction of the movie combined with the added details spiderhands, secondus sarduaker sacrifices IMO felt truer to the overall weirdness of the books. Replacing some of the dialogue scenes with action scenes feels extravagant, because who cares about runtime, but it doesn't feel forced. Only real complaint Zendaya Dove commercial interludes. Chani is an accomplished Fremen. Why not show her doing something? Dune is its own weird-rear end science fiction entity, and this movie does a fantastic job of establishing a new and specific visual design language for it. Genuinely enjoyed the movie and can't wait for more. where da weirding modules at. Lynch is right - space kung-fu is going to look weird on screen
