I have a hundred of top 10 movies, and I don't understand the hate for the new Dune movies. The actors are good, the movies stick to the script, the picture is pretty and the music is nice too. I was also pleasantly surprised that you could transpose all this world to a movie because it's kinda difficult. You can't please everyone though.

    i think its that theres no investment in the characters unless youve read the books.

    i didnt care about any of the characters in the movie. it feels though that if i had read the books, i might have.

    just a hunch; from someone else who only mildly liked the movies and has not read the source material.

    That goes for the main characters and the background characters imo. The second movie did a lot better in regard to showing off the different cultures but the first one just felt so...empty. People just did things and had things done to them, and I didn't understand why I was supposed to care about any of them.

    Pretty accurate. Most of the first movie is basically the prologue to the main story.

    The first movie is extremely loyal to the book; I have yet to see the second movie, but I would be surprised if it wasn't much the same.

    Funny thing: theres a surprising number of Dune references in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
