Quote from: RedHand88 on March 27, 2024, 03:32:51 PMDune part two is an absolute masterpiece in film making. Loved it so much I saw it twice.
Watched it on Monday. Absolutely class.
Does it matter if I haven't watched the first Dune film or read the book,to enjoy Dune 2?

It's on Netflix or other alternatives. I'd watch it before looking at 2 as it does provide the background.

Dune 2 seems to be well regarded but Dune 1 was average enough.

Watching The Iron Claw. What the f**k was Zac Efron on to get like that?!

Dune 1, was setting the scene for the franchise. Building the story and characters. This can be laborious. You'd expect Dune 2 to have more freedom.

I was forced to watch Legally Blonde the other night and believe it or not it was a pretty decent comedy.

First one is quite good, I was forced then to watch the second one, probably better to poke your own eyes out, awful shit

Thanks for the warning - I was kinda thinking 'Is there a sequel?'.

Baltimore. A film about some of Rose Dugdale's life. Pretty interesting and something I must say I didn't know a whole lot about. The film is a little artsy at times and that can slow it a little.

I think there's a recent book on her.

Great story. Made for a book/film.

Maybe the film came from that?

Dune 2 wasn't anything special, especially given the length.

Given the length? Not special?

You can get help with that!

Yes, that was my take on it as well. Thought Pt1 was slow paced, Pt 2 exactly the same. Pt 3 is in the pipeline. Should have made it an epic 10 pt series and saved us the wait.

What type of help?

Big budget epic that looks good and has a stellar cast, but the plot was pretty unoriginal, it was drawn out and even the action scenes were pretty run of the mill too.

The plot is the original. Everything else was just filmed first.
