It is. The channel (and some other clones) are making lots of these for various movies. It's a dumb gimmick but figured it was worth a post.

Dune 2 looked and sounded great, but would have been way better with a completely different cast (except keep Stellan Skarsgård), I dunno who, just, not them. Also it could have been under two hours.

I feel like if you're going to argue the entire movie is miscast you should probably at least have some idea of who you want cast.

I probably should have specified the main cast, everyone else was good and believable. Willy wonka and zenyada are not good actors, Josh Brolin is "Josh Brolin" in every movie he's in, and Bardem seemed to be the only one hamming it up for some reason, even though he's usually one of the best in every other movie he's in.

Spice must flow, much like my bad opinions.

I thought the Helen Mohiam character was funny. She had a nearly Trumpian level of commitment to every disaster.

"Maybe Paul is still alive, don't tell the emperor"

"Sure I wiped out the Atreides bloodline and I was right to do it"

"Your father loses the throne either way"

"We don't take a side, we plan"

In the books, Paul's sister has her killed. Final words probably, "I'm still the puppetmas... ACK"

it cannot be stressed enough that the correct way to interpret the dune books is as farces where every single character is drastically stupider than they portray and view themselves as

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I thought Chalomet at least sold "twink Hitler" well enough, and Zendaya isn't great but they had good chemistry at least

Never heard someone say Chalamet is a bad actor before now. I can’t imagine how much semuta you’d have to take to find these opinions

I like how the plans within plans is that the emperor gets Duke Leto's enemy to back stab him.

Was the main villain supposed to be laughably inept in the books, he's all hyped up, kills two drugged prisoners, and almost gets owned by a guy whos probably been in that cell for a long time.

The very next fight he just gets fuckin owned and dies lol

The protagonist family is well defined. The antagonist roles are shared by a sea of people. Mostly Harkonnen, Corrino and Bene Gesserit. The movie added suspense to the last fight but in the books the Baron is killed by a little kid, Paul doesn't take a scratch when he kills Feyd, Rabban is killed "off screen", and the Emperor is forced quickly into total submission.

Which is to say, Feyd was not a main antagonist.

Yeah I thought Chalamet and Zendaya were fantastic. TBH the only person on the cast that I thought was kind of weak was Walken. He seemed like he was in another movie, or was filmed completely on green screens and composited in. Zero chemistry with anyone (and Pugh tried! She was excellent too).

Completely 100% agreed. He can't turn off the Walken voice, and sure, but it instantly breaks the immersion.

I hate referencing the Lynch version but that emperor walked around, said thing in the tone of a politician. Instead we had Super Recognizable Actor that will never escape his typecast.

Yes. In the novel it's worth noting he has literally no chance of winning the final duel. His narrative purpose is to be a human Gom Jabbar and test Paul in front of the watchers. Paul made the right choice to not get himself fuckin' shanked by Count Fenring (sir Not Appearing In This Film) but Feyd was a dumbass who was reasonably good at fighting and bad at everything else and got played like a fiddel by Thawat. (Also Sir Not Appearing In This Film.)

Yeah it wasn't only that it was Walken, he looked just super old and tired and it made me a little sad which took me out even more apart from the fact that he can play stuff only one way. He was amazing in stuff like Pulp fiction or True Romance but man, no not as the emporer! Lynch version Jose Ferrer was fantastic I thought (even though he didn't resemble the book description) in his (obviously unearned) military style uniform etc..

"Bring in that floating fat man" was an all timer line as well :haw:

I kinda thought that was the point. He knows he's beat, and he would rather live out his days as grand-father in law to the emperor while locked away on a garden planet.
