I was wrong about DUNE. After rewatching the movie and the 1984 version I give my full review and breakdown of Dune. Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet's exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence, only those who can conquer their own fear will survive. #Dune #EndingExplained #DuneMovie #DunePartOne #DunePartTwo #HBOMax #MovieReview If you enjoyed this video then please subscribe to the channel /channel/UCq3hT5JPPKy87JGbDls_5BQ If You Want To Help Support The Channel So I Can Make More Videos Like This Please Donate Here: /channel/UCq3hT5JPPKy87JGbDls_5BQ/join Get some awesome Heavy Spoilers show clothes, phonecases and accessories at - https://teespring.com/en-GB/stores/deffinitions-store Check out our BEST new videos below Spider-Man No Way Home New Leaks - /watch/AZ3xRTyB8HiBx Locke And Key Ending Explained - /watch/8NQ-Up-oy51o- DUNE Ending Explained - /watch/4hY_iSRvJ9Dv_ Uncharted Trailer Breakdown - /watch/44IqclTpFXQpq The Flash Teaser Breakdown - /watch/gtezZ8TxZ8Gxz The Batman Trailer Breakdown - /watch/sOjv6bagdW6gv YOU Season 3 Ending Explained - /watch/s-we-8xhtO5he /* ----- SOCIAL MEDIA ----- / Follow Me On Social Media At: Website - https://heavyspoilers.com/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ heavyspoilers?lang=en Twitter - https://twitter.com/heavyspoilers Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heavyspoilers/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DeffinitionMC/ / ----- VIDEO INFORMATION ----- */ 0:00 Expectations Are A Funny Old Thing 1:51 I Was Wrong 2:02 Dune 1984 3:09 IMAX 3:30 Star Wars Comparisons 5:26 Betrayal 7:18 A Different Kind Of Hero Dune side by side edits by - /watch/8yZ3qGZPZcCP3 Ok so expectations can be a funny old thing. Unfortunately because of the way that the internet is it's almost impossible to go into a movie these days without having some preconcieved notion of what one should be and how you should feel about it. Just in the same way that I was told Venom Let There Be Carnage was terrible and came out thinking it was a lot of fun, I was told DUNE was an action packed Sci-Fi masterpiece that was gonna be the next Lord Of The Rings. This kinda guided my perception of how I thought that the movie should be and thus when I went to see it I ended up leaving the film feeling a bit disappointed. The same thing happened with TENET and though I initially came out of the theatre thinking 'meh,' after revisiting it it's come to be a film I absolutely love. Tenet feels like a puzzle box with an almost infinite amount of things to unpack from it but going in with the mindset that it would be INCEPTION with Time Travel in it, it was difficult to think that it didn't miss the mark. Now this mark was of course set by me and this preconcieved notion was the scoreboard that I judged not only TENET off but also DUNE. In my original review for the film I praised the cinematography and world building but I also said that I felt let down by the movie feeling like it was just set up to a movie that we may or may not get. Now at the time of making that review a sequel hadn't been announced but, honestly, knowing that one is coming is great news even if I feel that it was a bit misguided by Warner Bros to not film things back to back. I criticised it and said that though STAR WARS clearly took elements from it that it actually adapted things better to a movie and the typical three act structure. I didn't even end up giving the movie a score in my review because I just didn't really know how I felt about the entire thing and because of this you can kinda see where my head sat in terms of the film. Because of the above I left the cinema feeling like this was a big misstep but after revisiting the movie I have to admit something. I was wrong. ► Artist Attribution Music By: "KaizanBlu" • Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kaizanblu/ • SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/kaizanblu/ • Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/kaizanblumusic/ • TikTok - @kaizanblu http://vm.tiktok.com/aCYwfx/ • YouTube - /channel/UCUtx ... • DOWNLOAD @ https://www.chilloutmedia.com/kaizanblu Licence: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Full licence here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/ ... • Music released by: Chill Out Records @ https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ & https://www.LoFi-HipHop.com

@

@markypina1003 years ago “It was important for me … that Paul not be triumphant, that he has the burden of taking someone else’s life. Paul Atreides is a tremendous warrior but doesn’t enjoy a minute of it. He has the skills to be a warrior, but he doesn’t have the soul to be a warrior.” - Villeneuve ... 682
@

@GarbThaBa3 years ago I love it when people are honest and humble enough to admit when they feel they made a mistake. We need more of this in the world. 472
@

@shymenoroeds75523 years ago The humility is great to see. Everyone keeps comparing Dune to things that they have seen before not realizing that it is it its own thing and many of the things that they're comparing it to are partly inspired by Dune itself ... 737

@kevindonnelly52613 years ago Defining Dune as a tragedy is the best way to explain it to people simply. 128
@

@EdWiley6713 years ago “And then have a big blow out between the forces of good and evil”
This is precisely what a Dune adaptation should NOT do. 1011
@

@Emanon...3 years ago Jamis was in fact "a friend and a guide". By challenging Paul and making him kill him, It cemented Paul's place among the Fremen.
In a sense, the vision with Chani killing Paul also came true. He used her blade to "kill" Paul Atreides and allow Muad'Dib/Usul to be born...
I thought it was beautifully utilized foreshadowing. ... 389
@

@samoanbiscuit87953 years ago The whole point of the Dune novels is that the hero winning very much is the worst thing that can happen. Trying to find the Hero’s Journey in Dune is a fool’s errand. And that’s why book fans always thought it was unfilmable, because films try to squash something more freeform into a rigid structure. ... 328
@

@Eric-zy6et3 years ago One of the reasons I was really excited to see this movie is because of Denis Villeneuve's previous success in portraying a really cerebral and complicated concept. In The Arrival, he took a short story about a person who develops a complicated and fascinating perspective on the observance of time and successfully put it on screen. So with Dune, where you have a similar concept driving a lot of the protagonist's perception and behavior (I don't want to call him a "good guy" because that's not really what Paul is), I was really looking forward to seeing how Denis took on the challenge. And I think he did an incredible job of that. The bonus his visual style and his storytelling are wonderful. Frank Herbert wrote a complex and rewarding story and Villeneuve, I feel, really did it justice. I can't wait to watch it again on an IMAX screen. ... 46
@

@M3TA_K3 years ago I actually walked in to the movie thinking its GoT in space and really liked it. Action sequences were great, but the amount of world building and storytelling is what kept me engaged through out the movie. The "slow" parts were what I liked the most. ... 598
@

@adamcool85803 years ago For that Jannis scene where they are friends. Paul is seeing multiple futures in his dreams, as the future is not set. Their is a possible future where they are friends, which is why it is extra hard for Paul to kill Jannis. And why their is even a scene where Paul sees Chani killing him. ... 232
@

@brainfat13 years ago Paul's retreat with the Fremen is a win for him just not in the cathartic way many stories do. He is embracing his destiny and coming into his own. Moving past his fear. 32
@

@leadershipisaphilosophy3 years ago The thing that I have always loved about Dune is Paul's transition from the Princeling to the spiritual, so I was in it for that, I have seen it 4 times now and have picked up even more subtle themes, It is definitely not a thin movie. ... 22
@

@LK19893 years ago I think I'm one of the few people who was like, "this is 95% of what I was expecting and what I wanted." but I also just read the books very recently and so everything was fresh in my mind. You could tell the director was a dedicated fan. I appreciated his commitment. ... 93

@ngojems3 years ago Honestly I didn’t give a dam about what anyone said about Dune . Having said that Dune for me was brilliant 10/10 74
@

@marc-antoinemarcoux6973 years ago The LOTR comparison was done for one reason: Dune is a faithful adaptation of the book and thats pretty much it. 83
@

@tatersquad20003 years ago A second viewing of DUNE is an absolute REQUIREMENT. It "clicks" in your brain and becomes a masterpiece. It's weird! 217
@

@apocalyptica0033 years ago I was excited for Dune having never read the books nor seen the 80s movie, but knowing how my brother and father both considered it among their favorite books of all time for as long as I can remember.
Seeing it on opening night in IMAX was an experience. It was better the second time at home after watching breakdown videos and explanations of the houses, politics, etc. of the book. But being introduced to this world, in IMAX no less, was probably the closest I'll ever experience to seeing Star Wars for the first time in 1977 ... 368
@

@thomasbyrne73723 years ago I don't agree that Paul's vision with Jamis didn't come to fruition or that the vision was viewed through Chani's eyes. Jamis told Paul in the vision he would teach him the way of the desert, and he did. Just not in the way it was envisioned. ... 195
@

@felixflauta4163 years ago Walking into this one with the mindset of tragedy in the House of Atreides is probably the best advice I've seen. 35
@

@R.a.f.a.e.l.3 years ago "its a movie with a lot of subtext"
This is it right there. It's fine for people to criticize the movie, but when I read critics saying it's dumb, simplistic and slow, i know they simply did not pay attention to the subtleties of the whole thing. A lot in Dune rests in the merging of small pieces left along the entire movie. A lot is told, but also a lot isn't. Its treasure lies where it isn't. People who sees the typical Chosen One trope are missing it entirely, and im actually glad they did. They are in for a hell of a plot twist. ... 83
@

@saikathghosh87333 years ago Whatever people think about his movie...but I will say that this movie is a visual masterpiece!!! 697
@

@detestor4203 years ago After 1st watch I didn’t know how to feel about DUNE. The 2nd time I completely enjoyed it. A 3rd view and it’s one of my favorite films. Can’t wait for part 2 66
@

@wehoandy3 years ago I’m definitely in the “still like it” camp, as I’ve watched it twice from start to finish, as well as in select chunks through video recaps and deep dives like yours. The word “immersive” pops up everywhere, which is why I believe this film has staying power — once you’re drawn in, it becomes a world that you simply cannot resist returning to again and again. Part 2 can’t come soon enough. ... 33
@

@Khannea3 years ago What you describe is the tragedy of how superficial, jaded, low-educated, cynical consumers out there have become. Most people are broken and they have come to prefer what's ugly and shallow over what's splendid and meaninful. We don't wonder at what is wondrous. I am very glad you have opened your mind on this movie. ... 16
@

@KlingonCaptain3 years ago Dune wasn't "Return of The King" it was just "Fellowship of The Ring." A lot of people had similar issues with Fellowship back in the day. 574
@

@MattSaysHello3 years ago We need more of this honesty in the world. All film is subjective and people can have any opinion they want, it’s refreshing to hear your updated thoughts. Cheers Paul. 172
@

@AzaleaJane3 years ago I've watched it three times now, and I've loved it successively more each time.
The creative decision around showing Jamis in Paul's visions has me quite intrigued. On first viewing, I thought the character was Pardot Kynes, father of Liet Kynes, talking about planetology as he does in a flashback in the book. But no, it's Jamis - in some alternate future where they're friends. It adds so much depth to an otherwise very minor character and to their fight, while also giving tribute to the "I was friend of Jamis" scene from the book. ... 4
@

@underscore_54503 years ago I had the opposite experience. I went into Dune assuming it would be bad. I wasn't a huge fan of many of the actors, especially Timothy. But I was blown away! And I have a better appreciation for the actors as well, especially Tim. ... 24
@

@justinbauk10263 years ago In part 2 Paul is going to cry during Jamis' funeral and say "I was a friend of Jamis" because he saw a future where they were friends.
It's going to be powerful as hell when Paul says that and the fremen whisper "he gives water to the dead" ... 164
@

@AlexJones-ue1ll3 years ago I liked the visions of Paul interacting with Jamis before meeting him and killing him making the visions questionable. Paul, at this point, gets his first exposure on his oracle abilities and sees different possible futures - inlcuding the ones about the Djihad. And while Paul doesn't know how he gets to certain possible futures, he is still able to see them. He and Jamis could have been friends even - but when you watch the final of part 1; the disagreement rises from Jessica. Jamis objects over Jessica and the price for Jamis living and becoming a friend for Paul would have been the death of Jessica. ... 67
@

@joshyoung54323 years ago Jamis' visions that Paul had actually did come true, just not in a literal sense of it. He was told by Jamis he would show him the way and Paul learned the way unfortunately by killing him. All the visions Paul has come true they are just not 100% literal. ... 15
@

@spacecase133 years ago So nice to hear from someone that has read the book, AND appreciates the 1984 version. I feel that all versions of this story add to the collective whole of it and all of them bring something to the greater picture of this fantastic epic universe. ... 8
@

@KC_Smooth3 years ago I don’t care what people think about things. In fact I try my best to avoid any reviews or hype about a movie before I watch it. I came into dune without expectations , only seeing the trailer/never seeing the original movie, and I had a blast watching it. As a Sci fi fan, I give this movie a 9.8** out of 10.
Do yourself a favor and try to AVOID other people’s opinions about a movie until you see it for yourself!! I find even someone telling me “This was the greatest movie ever!” Is a spoiler that I don’t want to hear. ... 85
@

@shugarburke19873 years ago I still like you... and there is nothing wrong with taking a second look, reevaluating your thoughts and experience and then changing your mind... It's called being human 😎😍 127
@

@LordOwenLongstrider3 years ago Someone explained that the reason he sees a vision of Jamis teaching him but then ends up killing him is that he can see different versions of the future, primarily the version that is likely to occur based on current events, but if something else happens, if the actions/decisions/goals of someone else has a profound affect, then another version of the future occurs. For example, had Lady Jessica not attacked Stilgar and that whole meeting had gone a different way, then Jamis and Paul would have become friends; the greatest contributing factor was Lady Jessica's decision to attack Stilgar. Likewise, Paul sees millions fighting in his name and waging a great war that ends in his rule, but that is only one possible future, one possible series of events. As he told Revernd Mother Helen when she asked if the visions he sees always happen the way he sees them, he said "Sometimes", not always, that only some visions come true the way he saw them while others don't happen. This is because he has not yet fully mastered his ability to see the future. ... 3
@

@gustavogirotto3 years ago I had a very similar experience... the film grew I lot on me when I saw another 2 times, specially because I lost that "LOTR" expectations and started reading the book, so I could understand better what the story is going for. ... 5
@

@dannywarnock88223 years ago He disliked both Tenet and Dune? I went into both knowing literally nothing. And both blew me away and I re-watched both right away. I didn't come in imposing any expectations. But I'm glad he's admitting his preconceptions hurt his opinion. I thought the ending of Dune was fine. I did know it was only part 1. ... 104

@ShaozenSC3 years ago As a lifetime fan of the books, and a lover of the original film, I was riveted with gratitude at how well they have honored its core essence. I love the entire atmosphere they have created. 15

@

@johnt77763 years ago This missed the mark…the whole point of the dune series is you never trust your leader no matter how charismatic they are. 8

@Sunstar8083 years ago It will be so satisfying when viewers will be able to see part 1 & part 2 together. It’s really one continuous story but theaters can’t allow a 5 hr movie. 17

@

@Paul_Simon3 years ago Respect for the revisit- I’m practically a Tenet apologist, I loved it at an almost annoying level. I went into Dune with few preconceived notions (in my 40s, never read it, have seen plenty inspired by it) and really enjoyed it. Beautifully filmed of course, but I was really impressed with the story arc and character development. I did assume it would end abruptly and was fine with it ... 2
@

@Erni3K3 years ago Wow. This is where you take the big step forward. Welcome to being a grownup, where you feel grateful for realizing you're wrong. It was a big moment for me some years ago, and I' still grateful that I got over myself. ... 2
@

@fireblade2953 years ago It is part 1. With part 2, it'll be better, but for me, it was good.
Edit: I started the move and forgot reality existed. 105
@

@beccymay7013 years ago As a massive fan of the books I went into Dune knowing the story well, and with certain expectations as well. I came out that first time somewhat gobsmacked but unsure if the movie was what I wanted it to be. Don't get me wrong so many things felt amazing after that first viewing - the cinematography, world building, the acting character development and relation building - Chalamet and Ferguson especially - but I worried that people who hadn't read the books would be confused....so on second viewing everything clicked into place. I got the subtle and nuanced story building, the cleverly placed exposition...but it is definitely a film you need to pay attention to. Not for the blast and blow em up crowd. There is so much going on that you do need to keep track of to fully understand the politics, relationships etc. I would highly recommend everyone go see it at least two times before judging. Scroll forward and I'm now onto my 8th viewing...and my god this is actually my favourite film of all time, knocking the original Blade runner from its pedestal. I cannot wait for the sequels - hopefully at least to completion of Paul's journey... ... 2

@

@mrbluebell27353 years ago Considerable thought and experience went into crafting this movie. So much that I finally got why every iteration of the box scene disturbed me. It's a scenario of violation by authority through a test. Entrapped by his family, loss of agency and subjected to excruciating pain. It stripped away all comforts and trappings of humanity till what remains is an animal (dead), emotionally divorced consciousness (the bene gesserit) and (in Paul's case) an entity of pure rage. Enough to burn the galaxy. That's not a heroic figure but a possible monstrosity. ... 89

@gilbertodepiento85213 years ago The only point of difference between dune and star wars is that the titular character in either of these has a different opinion about SAND. 37

@moridin773 years ago This was a breath of fresh air. I feel like a lot of movies in the past several years have gotten a bad rap because people go into them with heavy expectations about the content, and when those expectations are not realized, people turn against the movie. Thank you. ... 1
@

@S.A.N.5033 years ago For me personally, I absolutely love this movie. It's by far the best film of the year. I knew nothing about Dune coming in, and I genuinely love it more than Star Wars, and am incredibly excited about the sequel. I can't wait to go see it again tomorrow! It's my favorite science fiction film of all time as of right now! It's truly a masterpiece in filmmaking. Absolutely love it! ... 19

@tylerhall91393 years ago As a fan of the series, I absolutely adore the new adaptation. The way it roots itself in character motivation absolutely immersed me in the space opera like the characters themselves just as you say. Can't wait for the sequel :) & as for Timothy, I've always seen him as the new Fassbender of film and boy did he nail it as Paul! ... 3
@

@mikehoffler40973 years ago I'm glad you brought up the complexities of Paul's character and his Jamis visions. In the lead up to its release, there was quite a bit of talk about the "white savior trope" and how this was a troubling character and novel/movie because of that. Reading the novel, the series of books, hearing quotes and interviews by Herbert, or even understanding what you're seeing and reading should tell you all you need to know about Paul: he's troubling in his own unique way. I like the way Villeneuve portrayed his struggle with his big vision in the tent, the moment when he's exposed to the spice on a significant scale and sees his likely future. This version also handles the concept of the future presented in the novel well, that the pathways diverge and branch infinitely and subtle differences in present action can have huge ramifications in the future. You see every time he talks to the Reverend Mother or Jessica about his vision: he knows this girl, Chani, is a part of it, she's always there. He knows a knife is important, someone will give him a knife. There are elements that are concrete, certain. But in some pathways, Chani stabs him. Is that "giving him the knife?" As he gets closer to meeting Jamis, he sees different outcomes, possibilities of what might have been, or yet may be, until their ultimate encounter. Well done pointing that out. ...

@

@octosalias57853 years ago I would say for fans it is a must watch. For newcomers maybe wait until the next part comes out, and understand that Dune Part 1 only goes up to the midpoint (and regardless of what people are saying it makes sense to stop there because its right before a time jump/training montage) ... 39
@

@tamaracostanza78633 years ago nice commentary... I had high expectations goin in, and this film exceeded them all. i haven't felt this kind of cinematic awe since I saw Raiders in the theater as a 14 year old. You hit the nail on the head as far as this film being "totally submersive". I also feel your Star Wars analogy IS apt... though perhaps you should add the caveat that this is Star Wars 'for adults'... it is interesting that you made the LOTR comparison, because Tolkien reportedly (while respecting the wrk) 'hated' Dune. ... 1
@

@jaygibbs_3 years ago Much respect for admitting you were wrong. I loved Dune, keen to watch it a second time, as the first was quite overwhelming - taking in all the little details and the gorgeousness of it all 1
@

@kenricbourne94173 years ago Dune is a masterpiece in my opinion. It is an epic experience. I will say if you have no clue about the story it may be a struggle, but I believe they were more straightforward in this version than in Lynch’s 1984 theater cut. 2021 Dune draws out the mood of the book without adding anything silly. It’s a serious film for serious fans of the novels. ... 36
@

@rgractor3 years ago I don’t think he was seeing through anyone else’s eyes. We haven’t had any hints at any perspective other than his own, so it’s a bit of a leap to suggest he can see things through other people’s eyes. I also think it’s far more dramatically interesting if he saw visions of a possible future, but was able to bring about a different outcome because of his actions. He saw Jamie training him in the ways of the desert, which did happen but not in the way Paul envisioned. Now Paul knows his future sight is not pure prescience. ... 16
@

@lrood87873 years ago I was the same as you. I found the movie incredibly sad & didn't like it...but it stuck with me. I couldn't get it out of my head. So I watched it again... The music and the visuals were stunning. After I watched a few YouTube videos to understand the story more, I watched AGAIN. Like you, I really came to appreciate the film, how it was made & the story. Thank you for your honesty. It's refreshing. ...
@

@Kermit_T_Frog3 years ago It was a darn near perfect adaptation of the book. An incredible achievement. Brilliant storytelling. But if you go in expecting a lot of nervous energy, action, and the hero blowing something up every five minutes, I can see how you might be disappointed. ... 13
@

@kyleabsolom63003 years ago Comparing dune to a new hope is the only comparison that you can really make, A new hope was literally built on the fundamentals of Dune. You could compare it to LOTR fellowship, but LOTR was filmed back to back to back, yet still the fellowship of the ring was "boring" for the initial viewer, a lot of character development, lore building and world building, then took off with the last 2 movies (please don't argue how many parts there were for the sequels, DVD's could only hold so much information back then).
Dune is and will be in the future a 'masterpeice' and will be looked back on in years to come, it's gorgeous, breathtaking, and the characters/actors were ingaging and REALLY set up the next movie, Dune part 1&2 will be compared to other movies, but both parts will be "technically" ONE movie (if that's too long, don't watch the Snyder cut) ... 39
@

@scoobysnax9543 years ago The dialogue is the weakest part of the film. Jessica turning to Paul and saying "that worm was INSANE!" just completely destroyed the immersion for me. These are people 8,000 years in the future, they don't talk like Bill and Ted. There's more examples like this but that one sticks the hardest. ... 2
@

@yochananu32523 years ago Liked it, and still like it. Happy that there will be part 2. I think you're right that it was a misstep to not film them back to back. Especially since we were initially uncertain: "Fear is the sequel killer." ...
@

@RH18123 years ago PS Paul, not that one, sees possible futures e,g the one with Jamis and himself being friends, which is integral to the story 33
@

@jamontenaeterry1673 years ago Paul, I felt exact same way as you as my initial viewing of Dune (2021). My expectations were completely wrong. And I took the entire weekend to maul over my thoughts, & I watched some reviews to see if anyone else felt the same way as I did (you). The reviews and explainers helped me realize what it was I felt that it was missing, and what I should’ve expected. I love Denis Villeneuve!. He’s my second favorite director. So I was HYPED for this movie! I watched it again. Tried to understand the source material a little more. And now I have a much higher praise for this movie. I can’t wait for the second one to come out!
Thanks for your honesty. I love your videos. Keep them coming:) ... 9
@

@Visforelvenshireling3 years ago Thanks for the review! Having read the book a few times, this film wasn't what I thought it would be; it was better! I felt that Frank Herbert is a master of worldbuilding, theme and scope. He fell short (for my taste) on character. (Which is my perspnal favorite thing about any story. Yes, I recongnize my bias, therefore I don't hold this against the author.) This film uses the characters (mostly Chani) to give us the necessary worldbuilding exposition. This means it comes off with a personal touch. So I liked the book, I loved this film! ... 1

@silversponge42593 years ago I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. I've never been able to get into the 1984 version despite several attempts but this one hooked me right away. The world building is the best I've seen in 20 years and I can't wait for part 2. ... 3

@cnustudent13 years ago I think our boy finally watched this movie high and realizes he missed the whole point the first time lol. Good on you for letting us know publicly what you think now. Takes real guts. 4

@129cikadekwitarsa93 years ago Same here, the internet ruined my first impression of the movie even though I read the book. It's not the next star wars or LOTR, it's a scifi drama, it's a very different and new thing. Loved it even more when I watched it the second time. ... 4

@tinastarr67103 years ago I first read dune 18 years ago, read all of Frank Herbert’s books and the prequels by Brian Herbert as well. Watched both the 1984 version and the 2000 ScFi channel. I love the 2021 version, Denis Villenevue has been a fan for 40 years and aimed to please his teenage self. By far the best version and though some things are lost remember a movie is not a book and the experiences are different. ... 2

@Maddmargarita3 years ago Dune was great. Glad it's getting a sequel. 17

@thefastmagician3 years ago They could have added 30 mins to integrate Paul with the Fremen and then that follows a natural time gap in the book as Paul grows up. This would have been a better ending. 6

@samhall88803 years ago Thank you for your sincerity. It's ok to give your honest opinion. I felt the same way, leaving the theater feeling kinda empty and unsatisfied with the abrupt ending, the movie explore so little even after two and a half hours. Great visuals though. And an amazing cast. ...

@joshspringer47223 years ago I couldn’t quite believe how much I enjoyed this movie. I loved every second of it. I think people have fallen victim to the ‘marvelisation’ of movies recently. We don’t need crazy battles every 10 minutes. I’m super excited to see where we go in the Dune universe. ... 3

@MorningStarNews3 years ago Just wish we didn’t have to wait a year or two for a sequel. The marketing really hid that this was gonna be a two parter. Looking forward to it in any case, now that it’s been announced 11

@cheekster7773 years ago Watched Dune twice, back-to-back, first in IMAX with Laser followed immediately afterwards in 3D (Laser) at the cinema. Thoroughly, entertaining both times imo. 8

@kinesis283 years ago Just got back from seeing this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Visually stunning, engaging characters, absolutely looking forward to part 2! 2

@leroybrown66573 years ago Dune was amazing! I can’t believe how close to the actual book this film was. I remember watching the original when I was a kid. I will have to watch it again after watching their new version. Great job as always Paul. 12

@christianmadison59543 years ago I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and was sucked into the world. Having neither read the original text or seen Lynch's adaptation, I had 0 expectations going into it. I am so glad that my experience happened this way - I'll be reading the novel and watching the Lynch film in preparation for the sequel! ... 23

@chljurado3 years ago Preconceptions should never be taken to a movie theater. I love the book Dune. I loved the 84, rendition. This movie was epic. Everything Star Wars wanted to be. But failed to deliver. (Became hokey, a caricature of itself)This said hearing you last review upset me. Because you wanted it the ending to be more star wars like. My lady said it best ..."it didn't need the cliff hanger" She watched it never before reading the book, or watching the 84. So I'm glad you are giving it a stand alone work of art. Peace ... 5

@jpdirect73 years ago Thank you!!! I was so shocked with your first review. The David Lynch version is one of my all time favorite films and the new version was even better. We all have to avoid “fanboy syndrome” when watching films like this. Let go of any preconceived notions or expectations otherwise you’re destined to dislike a movie like Dune. ... 1

@roguemerlin19692 years ago The ending of the film comes at a very natural break, the death of Paul as a boy and everything that he was, and him moving forward towards a still unknown future. Paul hates what he has been manipulated in to becoming. Tragedy, not the hero riding off into the sunset. ... 1

@sdotdaproliphic82893 years ago Nothing wrong with changing your mind, I thought the movie was good, and had deep meaning. Character Complexity in this movie, is whats missed today. A lot of movies now are shallow. 20

@futureprimitivepast30443 years ago I still don’t get the Dune Star Wars comparison. They aren’t the same story, they don’t contain the same elements. 4

@babyboo93403 years ago Thank you for revisiting Dune and for this video. Your last one had me feeling some type….. Because I thought Dune was beautiful! I watched the older version before I watched the new one.

@miharu863 years ago This movie release was my first experience with dune, and I loved it! It could be because I had no expectations, but after watching it made me want to read the book and learn more about it. 1
