Dune: Part Two (Denis Villeneuve, March 1st, 2024) • Page 32

Man, seems like people worldwide can't get enough of that spice melange...

"Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, also blew away audiences overseas to score a global start of $178.5 million." - And this is without China or Japan yet. Predict this has a chance of doubling the overall total of Part One

Box Office: 'Dune Part Two' Delivers Big $82M Opening Weekend

 

Why are my eyes turning blue

 

Do they even call it melange in either of these movies?

 

Nah I don’t think so

 

I think I remember hearing the word "melange" in Part One when Paul was listening to his audiotape about Arrakis, before the family left Caladan

 

I can check for you

 

Nevermind, not mentioned

 

I also read a cliffnotes version of Dune Messiah today, and man, shit really starts to get weird in that story. Really curious to see how Denis visually films some of that stuff

Going further into the books, Leto II is where it starts getting into "acid trip" territory

 

Same - very interested to see how he translates some of the hard sci-fi cloning/Theilux stuff, as well as the kids

most of all though, I can’t wait for Hyat

 

hard sci-fi you say? Only one man for the job

 

Part 1 was better.

 

hard disagree

 

Disagree as well. Dune 2 is slightly better. Much more satisfying as well. So glad Baron died. I was so annoyed that character survived in dune 1 and was highly anticipating for his time to come.

 

Part One is tighter, more coherent, and ultimately more satisfying imo. This one is more fun.

 

Saw this last night. As a blockbuster film, I thought it was excellent and really enjoyed it. I think I liked the first more from a story telling perspective though, this was a bit more all over the place. I felt like the switch to the Harkonnen focus was a bit abrupt and they could have intertwined it more with the first half of the movie.

Just posted but I think this is a more succinct way to portray how I felt about the two films lol.

 

Got tickets to see it again on Tuesday.

 

he does a note perfect impression of stellan's voice

 

Yeah, it stinks lol

 

I haven’t seen Elvis but I didn’t have any issues with it

 

This is exactly what I thought. He was absolutely trying to impersonate his voice.

 

Hanks is really the only bad thing about the film

 

I liked Elvis in this, thought he played the role perfectly.
