“Dune: Part 2”- I’m about to watch it to a sold out theater

Watched the cam version yesterday. Enjoy Charlotte Rampling and Florence Pugh, they were the best part of the movie for me.

Looking forward to seeing it at the Air and Space Museum with the huge six story tall IMAX screen.

Good thing you redacted all that vital information, OP. You wouldn’t want a Datalounger stealing your seat or throwing popcorn at you.

[quote] Watched the cam version yesterday

What’s “cam version”, precious? What’s “cam version”?

I have IMAX tickets, but not until next Thursday ☹️

Decided to go this evening. 🍿

R1 this isn’t a film you watch bootleg. Youre lame.

Ok guys. I just got out of the film a few minutes ago. When I get home I will give my honest opinion on this one. One thing I will say fast… ZENDAYA! A complete movie star performance.

Zendaya has the final shot and scene in the movie. Not Timmy.

She ate. The very final shot of Chani before the screen goes black.

This scene will be Timmy’s Oscar moment. He was SUPERB.

My review: MEH. With all the raves, I expected to be blown away, but I wasn’t.

No reason for Muadib to be a scrawny little guy.

Not a sci-fi guy. I thought the movie was slow at the beginning, but it picks up and the last final hour is sublime. I thought photography and music were superb. I was very surprised by how good Timmy was, and the rest of the cast was also very good.

Spoiler?

I hated Christopher Walken, it really took me out. And I will never understand what the world sees in Florence Pugh.

I was bored out of my mind (and I liked the first one).

That skinny-assed pretentious cunt.

Hard pass.

I saw it yesterday. Waaaay too much romance, far to little science.

R15 you didn’t read the book because that’s false. Shes present throughout the entire second half of the book and a main character. And the film showed very little romantic scenes. You didn’t watch the movie either.

You’re an embarrassment.

I must have skimmed past the romance and the boring Chani shit in the book then, cunt. Regardless, too much romance.

You’re a bitch and a cunt.

Loved the techs and cinematography but the romance between Timothé and Zendaya is just so flat. Too bad. Léa S. and Austin B. on the other hand smoldered. Chalamet is much improved from Dune 1. I didn't laugh. His hair is great. He and Zendaya seem a bit too aware of themselves but not enough to ruin a film that .....let's face it ...... doesn't demand great acting. Great score. Great design. Rebecca Ferguson is terrific. Totally enjoyable in IMAX. Walked into the Do;by screening on my way out and caught the last hour again and preferred the Dolby to the IMAX.

Was everyone in the audience 40+?

I saw it last week. The theatre was full. The sound was so loud, I don't know if it's because I"m now over 50, or if it was set that way by the theatre or by the movie it self. Some parts were so loud I had to cover an ear. Christopher Walken took me right out of the movie, unfortunately. He was overall good (subdued, for him) but he's so unique all I could see was him . Austin Butler was a creepy character (and scary with the bald head) but the body was on point (was that real or enhanced?)

Overall the movie was pretty good. I liked a lot of the scenery. Some of the plot was boring (reminds me the way Star Wars would go on and on about trade negotiations or whatever... zzzzzzzzzz)

I'll wait till it's out on torrent and watch it then.

What did you think of Timmy’s performance r20?

R21 It’s an amazing film that needs to be experienced in a theater. It’s a cinematic masterpiece.

For me the sheer spectacle of it (and make no mistake it is spectacular) dwarfed the human element.

I'd see it again though.

I liked it but there was something sterile about it. Even the “love scene” between Timmy and Zendaya is so chaste and minimal they could be brother and sister. And no love scene for Austin either. I don’t know how it will be seen years from now. Probably people will think it’s too long.

[quote] Zendaya is so chaste and minimal they could be brother and sister.

Star Wars copied so much from Dune!

R25 who said anything about Butler having a “love scene”? How would that even work for that character? The audience is supposed to view him as a threat, not someone with love scenes

Love scene for the psychotic Feyd Rautha!

Are you a straight women moron or just the usual DL gay moron r25?

SHILLY MCFRAUCUNT!

I laughed!

I cried!

I cheered!

I SHIT 💩 MY 💩 PANTS!!

They are not going to show love scenes in a PG-13 film. Love scenes in general have been removed from mainstream films.

Still I would have enjoyed Austin having sex rather than hearing about it after the fact.

I saw it today. I thought it was going to be bigger and better than 1, but it was a mostly boring, talky trek through the sand.

R32 we keep telling you stick to your Marvel movies but you don’t wanna listen. This film is for mature audiences. Not people who have brain rot.

I was surprised the studio or theater chains didn’t offer a double feature of the two parts together. Maybe that will come later.

♥️TIMMY❤️, with🪐 DUNE 2🚀has the SEVENTH highest grossing film in IMAX 2…💵SO FAR 💰

[quote] Dune: Part Two made $7.2 million in IMAX, bringing its grand total overseas to $65.7 million, making it the 7th highest-grossing international IMAX movie

Dune 2 is also the 15th highest ranking movie on IMDB.

There is no end to TIMMY’S triumph

Dune 2 is a flop just like the first one was, with the insane amount of money thrown on its marketing half a billion does not even cover the costs.

R38 🤣🤣🤣

Share some more of your Hollywood business wisdom r38

We all need a good laugh

R38 that’s a lie. Go drink bleach already. Reports said it needed $500 million to break even. Numbers don’t lie. Go see a fucking therapist and get off this site before you get redtagged again.

Denis is a genius and this film looks better than most films that cost $300 million to make. He made this for $190 million. The promotional budget was released and they spent $100 million to promote it globally. They needed $500 million to break even.

R40. You PR shills really need to sharpen your game.

This AI shit is embarrassing.

Also, the first didn’t flop. The retard doesn’t know what he’s speaking about, as usual. Then he wonders why no one replies to his threads so he has to keep replying to himself. The most ridiculous threads with 300+ replies? Yeah, because it’s him replying to himself.

R42 baby, you’re UNEDUCATED. And living off your family. You don’t have the right to speak to me. Especially when everything you say is a lie.

I saw this in IMAX last week - it was incredible. I’m even considering seeing it again (I read the Dune trilogy as a teenager, so am a longtime fan).

I do think Timothée nails it as a naïf who comes to believe he’s a messiah. He has “it”. His transformation is unnerving. Christopher Walken didn’t take me out as much as I thought he would; his acting/character was subdued and effective. Florence Pugh is equally subdued and wonderful. Rebecca Ferguson is at turns… sympathetic? Terrifying? Monsterous? She’s great!

As with the first film, the music and sound design is amazing… so, yes, I’ve decided: I AM going to see it again. Not one minute of that long runtime was boring!

R46

“It?” The clap, from what I’ve heard.

R46 you know there are 6 books, not 3, right?

R46 you felt sympathy for Lady Jessica?

My friend went to see it again yesterday morning for the 5th time. He posted it on his Insta story. I saw it 3x.

It’s a film that is actually even better on second viewing.

The nerds are going to see it repeatedly and the haters are always going to hate. There's no point in arguing with either side.

Nerds? No.

[quote] The film is nearing $240 million at the domestic box office and has surpassed $570 million worldwide. The movie continues to play in theaters nationwide from Warner Bros.

The Voice thing sounded too much like Donald Duck. I laughed whenever somebody used it.

Godzilla x Kong made as much as Dune 2 in its first weekend. Will they also get first look deals like waif Timotay?

One is a brain dead CGI blockbuster with a Giant Monkey and Dinosaur fighting. The other is an intelligent, mature film with a few action scenes.

[quote] Dune: Part Two continues to dominate the global box office, surpassing $600 million in sales

I liked it, but for some reason the story reminded me of Avatar, especially when he had to ride the worm vs Avatar and ride the - whatever it was.

So that would mean Avatar took from Dune. Not vice versa…

THIS is part of why many people don’t like going to movies anymore. Studies have already shown 2/3rds of adults don’t go to theaters anymore and wait for streaming. This is why they don’t mind waiting. Movies are released on streaming so quickly after hitting theaters now it’s crazy. There is no incentive to go see it in a theater. You know it will be out on demand within 1-2 months now.

R20, The bare physique is real. The outfits add more.

For example:
