Cool, I can ignore this just like the other two.
I like a lot of movies and I should like Dune, but I just CANNOT get into this series, I have no idea why. It feels like the story moves at an absolute glacial pace.

I'm curious to see how many of the Dune books they'll adapt into movies. As long as the box office numbers are good, they'll obviously keep going, but Herbert's books become more and more like a drug-fueled, psychedelic fever dream. Let's see how that translates to the silver screen.
The source material is just a suggestion, anyway.
This is the last one this director is doing. And for most audiences probably a good stopping point.
The people need God Emperor Leto Atriedes II!
I think Children of Dune is more approachable than Dune Messiah personally. But yeah after that it starts getting real weird real fast.
Probably a good call. But I want moooooore
I thought that was Darth Vader, and now I just want a Kurasawa-style movie remake of the Obi-wan series.
Generally I don't have a lot of feelings about movie posters, but something about where the people are standing and the movement of their clothes just looks off. Not that it's fake, just not well placed. It looks too far to the right.
Really? Highlighting the series' most glaring departure from the source material on the poster?
I already knew Denis didn't give a shit about actual Dune fans but that's a little on the nose.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad departure from source material to make the blindly devoted wife into an intelligent, self-thinking presence. Call me woke or whatever but I think it has a lot of interesting potential for a love interest to counter what otherwise becomes an absolute authoritarian autocrat.
I never understood the people who get upset that a film is not 1:1 with the source materials. The story on film doesn't have to, and in many cases shouldn't, be lock in step with a book almost 60 years it's senior. This medium is not just for the book reading audience. It's for casual film goers and cinemaphiles as much as it is for sci-fi nerds and the book lovers. Not to mention, the director and script writers are their own storytellers just as much as Herbert was. If you prefer the books, they absolutely still exist.
This may be blasphemous on a movie message board, but I really just don’t care. The last one was a dull mess.
