The two movies themselves were fantastic. Very stunning visuals, an out-of-this world environment, and an epic soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Now here are some changes in which I like and dislike: I don’t care for the age appearance of the Emperor since he’s already an old man. And I agree, he is an old man, and as this video put it his book counterpart looks much younger like say he’s in his thirties biologically. Here, he’s old chronologically and biologically. With the soundtrack of the films, I like how they added the throat singing during the battle preparation scene on Salusa Secundus in episode 1 to indicate how strong-willed and ruthless they are but is actually a blessing for the soldiers to stay strong in battle. Some of the things I did dislike is that the mentats’ roles in the movies were lacking and not very fleshed out. Thufir Hawat of House Atreides appeared in some scenes and then was absent after the meeting with Stilgar throughout the rest of the film. Piter isn’t any better, for he pretty much doesn’t do anything at all except for when he just stands around in a few scenes and walks with the Sardaukar Bashar on Salusa Secundus on recruiting the Sardaukar to attack the Atreides. I was expecting Piter to kill Dr. Yueh like in the book, but instead the Baron does it. There were also no guild navigators present at all. Sure they were mentioned in the first movie, but they were never shown. I was also very thrilled to see Anya Taylor-Joy being in the second movie as Alia since she’s one of my favorite actresses. I wanted to see her take on the Baron during the climax of the second film, but I was really bummed that it didn’t happen, but it was Paul that did it instead. In the books, she’s an adult inside the body of a toddler, whereas in the past screen adaptations were played by child actresses. So I’m now starting to get the feeling that the idea of having a toddler with the intelligence of an adult seems kind of silly. Even though I was upset that I didn’t get to see enough Alia, her cameo appearance was just the greatest out of any movie cameo. And when she looks into the camera (though addressing Paul, she says the words I love you, which hit really hard and stole my heart, and I got really emotional while thinking back at the scene that I saw. So now I’m very excited to see her in this version. Like I said, we may not have gotten enough of her in Part 2, but I really love to see her play a larger role in the sequel. In my honest opinion, I think she would’ve been cast as Princess Irulan since she’s my suggested candidate and also kind of looks like an Irulan. In addition, there was a scene where Margot Fenring tested Feyd-Rautha with the pain box like Reverend Mother Mohiam did with Paul. So back to Alia, she stole the showfor less than a minute that is. And also stated in this video that Leto II wasn’t even born during the movie (possibly to avoid having another child who may as well be Leto II II (Leto the second, the second. So now I’m starting to see why and how they made these changes. There were some I approved and some I strongly disapproved. But if there’s a third film coming up, I hope it’ll be better than the first two films and I would like to see Alia playing a bigger part in the franchise.

All excluded many things that were on 100% necessary, speaking to the point approximately 13 minutes and to the commentary. Lots of necessary scenes were omitted in favor of inserting woke and Dei scenes. Lots of realistic characters were omitted in favor of inclusive and equitable characters. Lots of good dialogue and storyline were omitted or substituted with subpar catch phrases like quotation mark I got that quotation mark and, in the case of c h a n i, snotty rebellious brat Behavior humping and walking away in defiance of anything reasonable. Just like a real carrot! You know as a movie commentator I get that your trying to be level and dare I say equitable, but you're not doing anybody any favors by making excuses or pulling punches. These movies need to be hit hard for the expense and Hercules and effort spent on pouring it all down the drain and filling it with modern politically correct socially relevant diversity inclusion and equity stirred in where it makes the least amount of sense and causes the greatest amount of damage. This movie sucked! It's the prettiest movie that sucks ever. But it sucked!

CHANI IS NOT TAKEN TO NEW DEPTHS.
If anything she has made useless and shallow. A rebel not a a Freman Warrior Princess devoted to her people her clan and her cause.
Instead she is a divisive character who is constantly standing when everyone else is bowing and walking away at a huff instead of supporting her man. If you want to take a minute to explain how that is taking her to a new depth, then I'll take a time to tell you that that depth is not a depth of character or a depth of inspiration or a depth of meaning or a depth of philosophy or a depth of anything useful but rather a whole new depth of how to destroy a great character of making it whiny woke and useless.

The look of both films is spectacular. Love it.
Unfortunately, it kinda erased or re-wrote the pictures in my head that I got from reading the books in the early 90s.
Neither Lynch’s film nor the Miniseries managed that.
A statement to films visual power. Still a bit sad that it blasted my own imagination.
And Jamis will now forever look like Babs Olusanmokun in my head. Such a strong presence on screen. Not sad about this at all, however.
But it complicates things a bit because now I desperately hope that they’ll never have Joseph beam down to a desert environment. My brain would surely melt.

These early Sidetrack visions to start to make the audience get the idea that Paul is prescient and can see into the future or see the past from the future, our nose leading unnecessary and more than a little annoying. The author trusted us to get it why doesn't Dennis

No problem with chani leaving Paul at the end, I just hope it doesn’t complicate things for future movies, she’s the mother to Paul’s children in the book afterall who are important later on especially the second Leto II (try explaining that)

I was really uncomfortable seeing Dolph Lundgren's naked penis enter that young girl after smelling crime and busting heads. Then I woke up and realized I slept through the entirety of Dune 2.

The emperor. It would have been okay for him to look closer to his age and either film. But in 2024, his daughter doesn't look 35 she looks 12. She talks 12. She acts a little 15.

The Villeneuve movies do make Paul a good man in that he refuses power until he has no other choice precisely because he knows what a monster he would become

Of course they deviated from the real love story. They had to bring race and religion into it as issues that never really were there. shakes head

I'll have to double check. But I do not think the 'dinner party' was actually in the book. It was in the 2000 mini-series alone.

A sci-fi classic that will be spoken of with acclaim for years to come. Another Blade Runner or 2001 A Space Odyssey. Lol!
