Looking back, was Lynch’s Dune kino? It’ll certainly still be better than the fagfest nu-Dune.

Yes. Even Lynch's failures are superior to other's garbage successes.

I liked it. I may be biased cause I love Kyle tho

I feel like it was torn three ways between being a executive boardroom mandate of "make it like Star Wars but mature!", a Lynch movie with sci-fi dressing, and Jorodowsky's original vision of The Holy Mountain 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Even Lynch's worst is still pretty damn good. The only real problem was the script, the sets and costumes all look fucking beautiful.

Why does anybody dislike this film? I think it's really good, one of my favorites.

Its cozy, I like the drab coloring of everything.

I don't like it because it's a terrible adaption. But I appreciate it exists because it's OST can't be topped for Dune. Aesthetically on point too.

Is it really terrible as an adaptation though?
I read the book a few years before I ever saw the movie and thought it was pretty spot on.

The fact that ‘Dune’, and extended ‘Dune’ are both still routinely aired on television, and sought out on the internet, are proof that the movies are classics, even if both versions are imperfect in various ways.

The Barron with his pimply face,
Sting in his various costumes,
The worms coming out of the ground and being ridden,
The Bene Gesserit sisterhood and their weird tonsure haircuts,
The Fremen and the sound weapons,
The clothing that recyckes water,
The soundtrack,
Etc.

These have all become defining images of the film, and anyone who has seen the film knows the imagery and were it came from as soon as they see it.

When Dune was aired on TV before VCRs and later DVDs were ultra common, it was an event, and could almost rank with airing the original Star Wars films.

The great blasphemy is that it rains at the end, which is two books early and derails the Golden Path plot before it even starts. There was probably some other things too but I'll be real I haven't been exposed to it in any way besides the soundtrack and THE BENE GESSERIT WITCH MUST LEAVE in probably close to two decades.

The stuff about the Spacing Guild meeting with the Emperor and wanting Paul dead is also dumb and not from the book

I think it was a good attempt, in my opinion the story of Dune and Dune Messiah would be best told in a lord of the rings style of three four hour+ movies. Just too much happening to compress it to 2 hours and still expect people who have never read Dune to understand it, plus you end up cutting out interesting and cool scenes to save time. I'm not even sure how Children + God-Emperor would be tackled, maybe in the same style of 3 four hour movies. A series would also work really well, with four seasons, ten episodes each with hour long episodes, with each season covering Dune-God-Emperor.

The problem with stories run over multiple films is that studios get cheap and lazy, so the production design and soecial effects tend to get shitty, particularly with digital animation and effects.
There are exceptions.
Hunger Games seemed to keep the special effects and set design quality up, but plenty of other movies haven’t, even with stand alone installments.
Digital effects are just making studios lazy, even on really expensive films.

The casting was good to excellent. Everything else sucked.

It's a terrible adaptation, one of the worst adaptations of a novel to ever be filmed in fact. I guess if you ignore the source material, it doesn't seem like such a bad movie, which explains why so many nu viewers who probably have never really read a book in their life have no problem with it

Movies routinely are different from the books the movies are based on.

‘Angel Heart’ starring Mickey Rourke is a perfect example.

The movie ‘Angel Heart’ is based on the mystery novel “Falling Angel” by William Hjortsberg.
Hjortsberg wrote various scripts for the film and is credited as a screenwriter for the film, and supposedly worked with Hjortsberg on the script.
Alan Parker, the director, changed numerous things within the script including the setting, and removed a bunch of scenes.
The original novel was to a certain extent closer to ‘Rosemary’s Baby’.

The film is honestly better.

“Dune” the novel is 400 pages, plus the other books in the series.
If you make a simgle film, you have to change things.
The movie may suck to people who read the novel, but the film is a classic of modern science fiction, and the imagery is worthy of ‘Metropolis’.

Lynch is a hack for art school pseuds.
Even the SciFi channel miniseries Dune is better than the Lynch one. James McAvoy plays the God Emperor in the second one.

all this proves is the source material is compelling enough to survive Lynch's hamfisted hackery

10/10 soundtrack
10/10 production design
0/10 acting
recut it into a music video for the OST

I want to spit on OPs moms face. Just a little spittle.

The movie heavily stands on its imagery, not just on the story and theme.
It’s the imagery and the way lynch filmed it that make his ‘Dune’ a classic.

Lynch's is weird as fuck, but enjoyable in its own right.

My name is a killing word.

nu-Dune was fine, though. Probably because Children of Dune was even better.
