Yeah I like the original Dune very much too. But it’s not a masterpiece. Just an underrated flick full of great actors.
But I will say this: even if you think 1984 Dune was meh, go watch Villeneuve’s version with the most unconvincing Paul Atreides in the history of unconvincing actors (Timothy Chalamet), the appalling Lady Jessica with zero expressions and zero acting skills (Rebecca Ferguson), and Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto who manages the incredible feat of being as shit in Dune as he was in Star Wars.
Then watch David Lynch’s again: you’ll enjoy it all the more.
yea, i saw the villenuve dune and wasn’t nearly as impressed as i was with 2049. aside from your points that i agree with, jason momoa turns every character into a goofy knucklehead, which is expected, but i wasn’t expecting to be let down by josh brolin who was awesome as cable and agent K. maybe i was just spoilt by patrick stewart’s gurney halleck
i didn’t mean to imply it was bad, just had some missteps i think. it’s definitely leagues better than the sci fi channel miniseries whose “selling point” was william hurt as duke leto, who dies right away
i thought that of the first one too. for that matter, i also loved 1980s dune and don’t care who knows it

@U7826391786239 @movies I actually liked the movie, but you have a point with Patrick Stewart.
