[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 12 points 1 year ago (3 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago It's fair. I have read the books quite a few times in my childhood and the movies were almost like I have been thinking of the whole time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] 0ops@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* 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. permalink fedilink source parent
