I agree with this 100%. My only possible caveat is that it would have had a smaller budget and different actors if it were made as a TV series, and that would have had a huge impact on its success.

I stand by my comment in the general case, Dune is just too dense.
Villeneuve is not an efficient user of time either, this movie could have been 10 minutes longer, cut out 10 minutes of bullshit transition scenes, and fit in more of the important dialog and expository bits, and then it still would have been... half a book.

Yea Dune has problems but if we cant just enjoy a Villenueve film in 2021 then Im not sure anyone can enjoy anything.
My real problem with the movie is it is a hollow lifeless husk, which maybe is intentional but you dont see any Dune civilians or any day to day examples or regular people, anywhere.

Good point. It may be intentional, as to contrast the prim and proper world of the high houses in the first to that of the second movie; where they can show the kinship and comradery of the Fremen.

This.
Regardless of anything going on in the film, Villenueve flicks can be enjoyed simply from a cinematography standpoint. Neither Dune nor BR2049 were amazing films from a script/writing standpoint (despite Gosling turning in an amazing performance in 2049), but they are so fucking masterfully shot that I didn't really care.

I'd say they enjoyed both movies, but admitted both movies had flaws. I'm pretty much in line with their thinking. Villanueve's movies look spectacular and are an enjoyable ride. It definitely messed with the book story, but mostly in a dumb it down for movie goers sort of way, not the rake it over the coals treatment series like WoT are getting. I'll be there for part 2.

I just watched this with my wife, who never read the book.
She found the movie great but not 100% understandable. Things are explained in a single sentence and that's it, so that was hard to follow. might need a second viewing.
For me who loved the first movie because it was weird and I was maybe 5-6 y.o., then played the shit out of Dune and Dune 2, I found it to my taste, except Jessica who appears as a frail woman, when I always imagined her keeping her composure despite all. Paul is ok, I imagined him a bit more bulky, anyway.
To me, the 2 hours went like a breeze. Overall good movie, good dune stuff, but the movie didn't move me or anything. 7/10

Finally got around to watching this.
Stunning visuals.
Uncertain how but the David Lynch movie did a better job of making me care more about the characters. Maybe they were portrayed as much more larger than life considering the screen time they were given in the original.
Dr Huey in the Lynch movie was infinitely better than the current version.
