    Do I have to sit thru the first one to enjoy the sequel?

    I started the first one twice and couldn’t get more than 15min into it. Oh my yawn another space world where there’s a trade war and a young hero’s journey yawwwwwn zzzzz

    I love Villeneuve’s work so much but this story is tired

    • Thanks for the advice chapsnb
    • what's the point of trying to suffer 2 if you couldn't be doing with 1? if you burn yourself with a candle flame, do you stick your hand back into again?hans_glib
    • If people say the 2nd candle is different, maybe? I’m an adventurous fellownb
    • probably not.... the first one lacks emotion and empathy... the second one is no different i guess.....not classic material there in terms of filmmaking..neverscared
    • So this isn’t villeneuves derivative story about a space trade war. It’s actually the OG story everything else is derivative of.monospaced
    • The story is epic, and it’s been around for many decades. What a weird criticism. The story is a science fi archetype legendmonospaced
    • Different strokesnb
    • Hope I didn’t offend anyone. I was just asking for your opinions on a movie in the very thread for that movienb
    • Well, I for one am offended.

      Sorry, 'offensive'. As you were.      Nairn
    • You also implied the story was an unoriginal derivative bore, which obviously it isn’t, because it was a book and is regarded as a very good storymonospaced
    • I too am deeply offended! I can't even enjoy my night now!pango
    • I've read the canon books, and I agree they're not antiquated. Villeneuve 1 was amazing. Villeneuve 2 was harrowingly boring..garbage
    • The pacing, the editing, the misuse of MCU shots. It felt like it was made in the mud. I tried rewatching it, and still couldn't.garbage
    • I had hope because ol' V seemed to have finally caught Dune by the tale, but 2 is an absolute yawnfest.garbage
    • I probs stil watch it, tho I know they will be zero inspo compared to the books. The first ones were waaaay to goodmaikel
    • Watch it at home with the fast forward ready. The rare times that you start seeing something interesting..garbage
    • ..it divorces itself from the cinematic interest of the first one, and falls into teen romance and sloppy foreverism.garbage
    • It might sound insane, but P2 accomplishes the unimaginable: A Dune attempt that lasts too long.garbage
    • It's the rise of Hitler, but in space.robthelad
    • calm down... its only one mans opinion on filmaking... or a couple of more...neverscared
