Oh cool! I wonder if he is Count Fenring?
Impressive, I need to rewatch Part 1 I had mixed feelings, I am a very biased fan of the David Lynch adaption from a visual point of view..
Same. I just don't see the improvement over Lynch's that many seem to. From a "telling the story more coherently" point of view, Villeneuve's Dune felt like it had the same beats and scenes, just with more time to breathe since it was a Part One.
Visually and creatively speaking, I much, much prefer Lynch's Dune. The set, creature, and ship design of the new one in many ways felt obvious to me and what I would expect from a modern Hollywood interpretation, if that makes sense. The 1984 one felt more original, with more soul to me, if only just due to some of the outlandish creatures, effects, and Lynch-isms.
I suspect the best version of Dune was unfortunately the one that we never got to see, from Jodorowsky. That would have been a true epic in my opinion. It had incredible potential.
I can see he is a good director his films look cinematic though I find Villeneuve's films incredibly flat at times and one note, The Arrival for example I found incredibly dull and boring, I know Lynch did not like his version of Dune though I find the film visually interesting, compelling and outlandish in a great way.
There's still a few things I'm not totally sold on, like the hand-to-hand combat and generally the idea of Chalamet turning into a charismatic leader to the Fremen, but that's more of a Part 2 problem.
Maybe it's because I know the book, but I don't get the "boring" critique I've read from some people. I felt it moved along at a solid clip and there was always something going on..
Do we know how many Part's Dune is being split up into?
It's just two parts for now but Villeneuve has expressed an interest in making a trilogy out of it by adapting Dune Messiah into a third film.
Interesting, I do have the DVD boxsets of both TV show adaptions may give them a rewatch to refresh my memory of the larger story, i just tend to revisit Lynch's film.
Looks good. Loved part one.

No surprise exactly considering the complex story
I just saw that number the other day too but couldn't find any confirmation past a random Japanese link. Good enough runtime for me! Loved the first, very eager for Part 2.
