I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

I don't actually like the new Dune movies. I just thought that it had the ast Lord Of The Rings movie energy, and that it just went on a bit longer than i really wanted it to. There was certainly some good bits to it no doubt but they didn't really feel connected to me.

Did you read the books? Having read the books it was a blast for me, but those sound like fair criticisms if you aren't already familiar with the source material (which isnt a good thing for a movie to do, it should be able to stand on its own).

~~As someone who read the books, 3 movies is going to be too much. 2 movies is more than enough for the first book and I think it's gonna suffer a bit for it. Not as bad as the Hobbit, but I haven't seen anything get better from getting milked.~~

I'm wrong, misread an article. Thanks for the info y'all.

1984 had the two captains and Sting.. That's hard to beat.

Isn't the third movie going to be Messiah?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah @mrbusiness had me a bit worried, but it looks like you're right, if there is a third movie it will be all or part of Messiah. At least according to this interview - https://www.polygon.com/23712612/dune-how-many-parts-movies-sequels-messiah

I agree I think the movie was way too long
