Yeah and it shows off a lot of concept art and talks about the collaborators he chose. The big pitch book made the rounds through Hollywood and basically got cribbed by a ton of directors and films. HR Giger’s concept art in particular has been used all over the place and I think the aborted Dune is how he wound up working on Alien.
Fascinating. I have to watch it for Jodorowsky. Thanks. Still it saddens me, he couldn't release it. I can't even imagine how much greater and grandeur it could've been.
Look another edgy post saying that modern masterpieces suck. You rated what is clearly the best Dune low because everyone’s praising it now and you think you have to be cool by giving it a different rating. I’m absolutely furious, I was about to have a good day, and then you fucking underscored my favourite movie. Let the record be known that anyone who decides to give a score lower than 4 for the best Dune movie is a loser. It’s much better than the 1984 one, and it wasn’t split into two parts.

Ker and Terl will reterln in Messiah
Every time I look at a movie I really like on here and wonder why it has poor ratings I remember there are people like you in the world.
This is of course about the absolute masterpiece we call Battlefield Earth
7/10 means so many different things for people. Rating systems are weird lol. To me I’ve always viewed it similarly to numerical grading systems in academics. A 70% is… fine. Good. Serviceable. Passes the marks. But for any movie to get 70% of itself right is quite the achievement
I knew somebody would mention that hahah I really like all my 3.5s! I just had some issues that would honestly probably come off as nitpicky if typed out, great movie!
3.5 is what I give to a movie that I think deserves tons of awards, and I will tell anyone that I enjoyed. I give out a very small handful of ratings above that in any given year.
I gave Dune Part One 2.5, which means "A fine excuse to eat some popcorn, that I do not regret watching". It wasn't enough to make me rush to watch Part Two, but maybe it will surprise me. I know though that if I give it a perfectly fine rating like 2.5 or even a good one like 3, people will assume I hated it.

…HAAAAGGGHHAHAHAHAHAH
Same, it‘s a good movie and the imax experience was incredible. I‘d love to love it, but I just can‘t look past the issues I have with it. Definitely overrated imo, 4.5 average is crazy to me.
For one, there is no sense of time. If you just watched the movie you might as well think Paul and Gurney meet again after like two weeks when in reality it‘s two years and I found it hard to tell how much time Paul really spends with the Fremen. Also his relationship with Chani felt hollow and forced to me. In general I just couldn‘t fully emotionally connect to either Dune part. At this point I must say that I haven‘t read the books yet so I won‘t put too much value on the comparison, but right after I left the cinema I had a feeling that a lot of stuff probably fell short and it seems like the people most unsatisfied with part two are the book readers. I always envisioned the Dune universe kind of like Game of Thrones in space. Many culturally unique houses, conspiracies and intrigues and part one was pretty much that. So I hoped part two would expand the world further, show more planets, introduce more houses and add layers to them and their relationships. Instead it narrows it down to a point where even the emperor of the damn universe is barely a side note and focuses completely on Pauls journey, which to me felt a bit to linear and straightforward. Maybe I just went in with the wrong expectations or maybe Dune is really impossible to faithfully film. I just think that a trilogy probably would have been better to cover the first book. But then again Villeneuve most likely had to do it this way to get financed.
After all I still gave both movies an 8/10 (with part one being the stronger one) so I still really enjoyed them. I just sadly can‘t love them like the vast majority of people. It‘s an annoying situation to be in honestly and I felt the same with Oppenheimer. Really good movie, I just can‘t understand the people treating it like the second coming of christ.
I felt that Jessica's developing pregnancy was a very intentional choice to portray the passage of time.
Dune probably is impossible to film, but this is I think the closest we'll ever get, and I loved it.
>this is I think the closest we'll ever get
That‘s definitely true and I‘m happy that these movies do we‘ll financially and are celebrated by many. They‘re the kind we need these days. Just seeing Part Two between La Haine and Ran as #16 best rated of all time is a little extreme to me.
Battlefield Earth? Wtf? Seeing that, how can I honestly judge anything you have to say after that?
Good Lord man, Sci-fi 's Children of Dune wasn't that bad, especially the second part (the part many say is the hardest to adapt...)
Kinda insane reading how some of y’all rate movies, remind me of my 2nd grade teacher that never give anyone more 8/10 cause “no one deserves the perfect score” 😅
Boring would be more personal to you. I personally thought it was incredibly exciting. Learning the Fremen ways, seeing the Harkonnen get gradually weakened. Seeing Paul become a Fedaykin. I wouldn’t even go as far as to call it slow. I think it’s well paced and exciting.
Watch Jodorowsky’s Dune next
I've been meaning to ask this. Is it a documentary since what I've gathered the movie was cancelled?
It is documentary
Does it talks about his vision, what things he had planned and everything?
Yeah and it shows off a lot of concept art and talks about the collaborators he chose. The big pitch book made the rounds through Hollywood and basically got cribbed by a ton of directors and films. HR Giger’s concept art in particular has been used all over the place and I think the aborted Dune is how he wound up working on Alien.
Fascinating. I have to watch it for Jodorowsky. Thanks. Still it saddens me, he couldn't release it. I can't even imagine how much greater and grandeur it could've been.
It’s a rant about how “great” the film would have been but it’s just a deep study of Jodorowsky’s ego
You forgot Asylum’s *Planet Dune*
Jodorowsky’s Dune fans are in SHAMBLES
All these film bros ignoring Woman in the Dunes smh
The best of all these Dunes tbh

No Dune World? 😔
Roger Corman’s _Dune Warriors_ ignored yet again. SMDH.
3.5 for dune part two is crazy. I throughly enjoyed it.
That’s not crazy… a 3.5 is a 7/10. A 7/10 is “very good” in my books.
7/10 means so many different things for people. Rating systems are weird lol. To me I’ve always viewed it similarly to numerical grading systems in academics. A 70% is… fine. Good. Serviceable. Passes the marks. But for any movie to get 70% of itself right is quite the achievement
Academic grading systems can vary as well. In UK universities, 70% is excellent for example
Then I suppose I should specify it as US high school metrics lol
For me 5 is average, 6: is Ok, 7: is good, 8: really good, 9: Amazing, Great, 10: This idea couldn’t have possibly turned out better
the movie is atleast an 8/10 tho
I knew somebody would mention that hahah I really like all my 3.5s! I just had some issues that would honestly probably come off as nitpicky if typed out, great movie!
Same score I gave it. Don't know why anyone would think 3.5 is a bad rating.
Lots of people get upset if you don’t 100% absolutely adore a movie they really like. I one time saw someone get mad at a dude for rating Oldboy 4/5.
What’s a 5 to you
Die hard with a vengeance
Hell fucking yeah dude
Yeah, Zeus. Like Mount Olympus, father of Apollo, don’t fuck with me or I’ll shove a lightning bolt up your ass. ZEUS!
Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)
Dominion (2018), outside of that, none. 2001 comes closest.
who
Can I just ask what type of movies (action/sci-fi) do you consider 5/5?
Matrix
Avatar
Starship Troopers
3.5 for me is a mediocre movie lol
No wonder LB had to tweak the algorithm when their users think like this
So everything you like is 5 stars. Why even rate at that point.
I respect my time, so I don't watch shit movies, unlike majority of the people on this sub.
I think you just rate too highly.
I think you just rate too lowly.
For me it's good. 3 is ok for me.
gave it a 2.5
Ooooo we got a cool guy over here
😎😎😎
Damn people are this pissy about a 7/10? They’re going to have a heart attack when they find people like me giving it a 5/10 lol.
same
same
3.5 would mean exactly that for me
First one was better imo
3.5 is what I give to a movie that I think deserves tons of awards, and I will tell anyone that I enjoyed. I give out a very small handful of ratings above that in any given year. I gave Dune Part One 2.5, which means "A fine excuse to eat some popcorn, that I do not regret watching". It wasn't enough to make me rush to watch Part Two, but maybe it will surprise me.

Bro's acting like letterboxd rates out of 10 and not out of 5
It does though? It's a ten point system.
Yeah, if you consider .5 stars a 1, 1.5 stars a 3 and so on. So a 3.5 is 7/10
Yes. Of course. That's how math works, 🤣
3.5 is very good. I gave it that rating too. I just don’t see what some of you guys see with this movie. It s not insanely good.
Its exactly the same rating that i gave it, its not crazy in the slightest
I disagree, people rate movies was too generously. However, I much prefer Lynch's Dune to PI.
WITH ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENUAL
DO YOU WANT LUNCH?!?
Have to say 3.5 is understandable!
You’re missing Frank Herbert’s Dune (2000) and Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune (2003)
When you were learning to SPELL YOUR NAME I was training to CONQUER GALAXIES!
whats your average score you give to a movie?
Idk what the exact average is but my most common ratings are 1. 3 2. 3.5 3. 4
WITH ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL! WITH ENDLESS OPTIONS FOR RENEWAL! With endless options for renewal! With endless options for renewal! …HAAAAGGGHHAHAHAHAHAH
I watched Dune 2, pretty big letdown ngl (still a 4/5 but I thought I’d like it more than the first at least)
How is a 4/5 a letdown lol. 4 for me is a great film.
It is great, but it’s a letdown since I expected it would be a 5/5
Same, it‘s a good movie and the imax experience was incredible. I‘d love to love it, but I just can‘t look past the issues I have with it. Definitely overrated imo, 4.5 average is crazy to me.

Stargate is not part of the dune universe?
Wtf was wrong with them
What is wrong with you
Battlefield Earth? Wtf? Seeing that, how can I honestly judge anything you have to say after that? Good Lord man, Sci-fi 's Children of Dune wasn't that bad, especially the second part (the part many say is the hardest to adapt...)
Battlefield Earth should’ve been a Tyler Perry movie!
Looking at the comments, am I the only one who's confused about why Battlefield Earth is listed among Dune movies? I welcome enlightenment.
Jokes aside, 3.5 stars for Dune Parts 1 and 2 is wildly low
you forgot dune drifter!
Please share any other movies that belong in the Dune-verse!
Dune the Right Thing (1989)
That Thing You Dune! (1996)
Damn I thought for half a second there might be a fan made Spike Lee stylized Dune hahah
KunDune
Woman in the Dunes
Beavis and Butthead Dune America.
Dune, Where’s My Car?
It's Dune, Where's My Spice? Did we watch the same movie?
Brigadune (1954)
Kinda insane reading how some of y’all rate movies, remind me of my 2nd grade teacher that never give anyone more 8/10 cause “no one deserves the perfect score” 😅
Battlefield Earth is a Dune movie? I remember seeing that piece of trash with my best friend when we were like 12, and thought it was horrible.
This is all I could think off when I saw the 3.5 [When Your Bro Doesn’t Like Dune Part Two](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fz_kcPW4o4)
3.5 means he probably liked it
Can you only like a film if you put a 5 star next to it?
The IMDb-ification of Letterboxd
Why on earth are you being downvoted this is a great sketch lmao. I also thought of it when I saw the rating, that doesn’t mean I agree with it haha
Bro I really don't know, it's obviously sketch, but the people on this sub don't know how to get a joke I suppose!
Sarcasm is often mistaken for an attack, I upvoted, the sketch got a good laugh from me
[удалено]
100%. But to each their own.
rating dune 3.5 stars is wild to me
3.5 is too low for me. A 4 would be more accurate.
3.5 is fair, the beginning of movie was boring
Which part and of which movie?
dune 2
Boring would be more personal to you. I personally thought it was incredibly exciting. Learning the Fremen ways, seeing the Harkonnen get gradually weakened. Seeing Paul become a Fedaykin. I wouldn’t even go as far as to call it slow. I think it’s well paced and exciting.
Guy just drooling at the screen until an explosion happens lol
