I’ve only seen Dune. It sucked, but I appreciated some of the style, so it didn’t ruin Lynch for me or anything.
Dune fails as a David Lynch movie and as an adaptation of the novel. It’s almost impressive.
Don’t let that put you off reading the book, or (assuming it’s good) seeing Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming adaptation when it materializes.
It’s long overdue for Peter Jackson-style big update.
Denis Villeneuve (director of Blade Runner 2049, Arrival, Sicario, etc.) is making the remake. Word is it’ll be two movies. I can’t wait!
I think you need a minimum of three four-hour length films to do Dune justice, but we’ll see.
