Overall I liked the movie a bit more than the first dune but I didn't overall love it, here are my pros and cons
Pros-I enjoyed Paul, feyd and the baron most. Everyone else was just okay to me
I enjoyed some of the action scenes mainly the final battle
I enjoyed some of the dialogue interactions
Seeing anya Taylor joy show up was a nice surprise
Cons-
No tim Blake Nelson in it or the mentat that works for the atreides despite being confirmed to show up
Didn't go further into the alien lore, I guess it's just not a big thing in dune verse or maybe don't come till later books.
The emperor was a disappointing character not cause of Chris Walken but cause of the writing of him.
Beast rabban wasn't as cool as I hoped he'd be, its funny cause Dave Batista I think said once he preferred that character over drax from marvel and Im like really?, the guy had like maybe 10 min of screentime in both films combined and not much character depth to him.
Combining an epic story with one of my other great hobbies
How did Harkonnen became an Red-based symboled house???
And Atreides is SUPPOSED to be a:
Light Black backgrounded
Light Green detailed
and
RED HAWK
Why did they change those lmao :v
Man was it amazing, seeing it in Imax transports you into the world, every aspect besides maybe some parts of the script were flawless.
I DIDNT KNOW THAT DUNE HAD IT'S OWN PAGE??? OMG
But hello, my name is August, ntmy all! I'm new here lol
Any positive thoughts on the main character of Dune? What about his girlfriend?
So I’m currently reading the first Dune book right now. I have heard many mixed things abt the series going forward but the thing i’m most curious about is who are the main characters in the next 5 installments (i know it’s not paul after the 2nd one). Also I would like to hear opinions about the next five books bc some say they are god awful and some swear they are better then the first.
So Paul had a vision in the first movie about him fighting in gold armor? Was this just overlooked or is this like a dune: messiah thing?

The Mpaa rated Dune Part 2 as "PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, some suggestive material and brief strong language". Tbh, I'm surprised that the films didn't get the r rating because there are many stabbings and blood is shown multiple times. But my question is what do they mean by brief strong language? There is very little profanity and absolutely no f words? Was there a f bomb hidden in the film?
[SPOILERS FOR DUNE: PART TWO]

This is mostly a comment/question to anyone as invested in Timelines as I am.
First of all, the Timeline page for the Original novel states that it takes place starting in January of the year 10,191 AG, and then Book One and Book Two of the novel spread out until May of that year. Now, I find this complicated... It would mean that Paul and Lady Jessica were wandering the desert for about one and a half months before joining the Fremen, and I don't think that fits. I think it the first two Books of the novel may take place in March, and then Book Three, after the time-jump, definitely happens in late 10,193 AG.
Anyway, in Dune: Part Two there's no such time-jump, and it all happens in 10,191, and by the end of the film Lady Jessica is still pregnant. If she got pregnant by February 10,191, she would give birth in November of that year.
Now, the film starts with Princess Irulan logging her Imperial diary, and she says "Year 10191, third comment". She then logs the Battle for Arrakis and the Fall of House Atreides, meaning her logging it is soon after the events. Then, it seems some amount of time passes (as Paul becomes Fremen and is tested and they fight the Harkonnens), and later she logs her "Eighth comment". Does this mean she logs a "comment" for every month? March for the Fall of House Atreides and August for the "Reports of the new Reverend Mother spreading word the Lisan al Gaib"?
What do you think? Is it March and August of 10,191? If so, that would mean Dune: Part One takes place from January to March, and then Part Two starts in March, and there's a small time-jump to July-August. I have created a page for Timeline of the films, and have already started adding some information from the first film to it. I'd love for everyone to contribute to it and have more combined insight on this!
