I seem to recall Denis making it clear this is where he intends to stop, for exactly this reason.
Having grown up on the Lynch film, I’m frankly astounded and delighted that we got a Dune adaptation that made it this far.
goddamnit, I wanted to see
spoiler
Leto 2 becoming the sandworm godbut I guess with some of the disappointing scenes in the 2nd film (Paul taming Shai Hulud, the visions just being shots on a beach) , it probably wasn't going to go down the way I wanted to. It's a shame.
Soundtrack was still awesome, but it did re-use a LOT from the previous film
Did you see the Syfy series?
At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.
I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.
Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.
I did not, but not for lack of interest. I just never got around to it. I know very little about it but it always looked to me like the visuals at least drew very heavily from Lynch’s movie.
It wasn't bad. It is better than Lynch's film. It's not as good as the Villenuve's.
If it means anything I read all the books
