Oh I didn’t know it’s already out. I think I only saw one teaser in the last few months. Love me some Yorgos. I’ll watch this asap and update this comment with my review.
I’ve only seen Frank Herbert’s Dune but I thought the new one was too quickly paced and consequently boring. It needed to be slowed down and allow the world of Dune to fully seep. There’s no chance that part two will fix this.
My friend, it lasts two and a half hours and barely covers the first third of the first book. If it were any slower it would just be hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.
I wouldn’t mind some ‘uncomfortably long’ shots of rocks or something after the more storyful scenes. Like a 20 minute segment with no dialogue. We don’t get enough of that.
Would go great in a spiritual scifi whose protagonist is a planet.
Really? I mean it basically hit only half the story beats that Frank Herbert’s Dune did, and it was longer.
Most people I know who complained about it complained about it being too slow at times and consequently boring. Not too fast. I personally thought it was fantastic, and I’m really looking forward to the second part.
Most Japanese people I know would like to see it, just not at release as it was a little too close to August 6th, which they thought was tasteless. Admittedly, most of the Japanese people I know live in Toronto now, not Japan.
I don’t hate the original version. But it has so many flaws, I’ve never watched it a second time. Just not a true-to-the-spirit comic adaptation. I never care about direct copying of plots from comics, and I’m very open to modified back stories as well; after all, the tradition of alternate realities in comics is canon.
But they need to stay true to the spirit of the character/s. If they can’t do that, then there’s no point in it. If you make a Spider-Man movie/show and he’s this grim, uber-serious person, it isn’t going to work (most of the time)
And that’s where the first suicide squad failed. Pretty much, Harley was the only one that was close enough to their “spirit” for it to work. Everyone else felt like they just copied the look partially, then wrote without bothering to read anything about the character.
Comics have that freedom in a way book adaptations don’t. Books and comics made into movies trade on the idea of established fan bases being the initial “butts in seats”. With books, established fans expect not only the characters, but the plots to adhere to the printed original (otherwise, it isn’t the same thing at all, and they might as well just call it a parody and be done). But comic fans love a good alternate reality. But if the company can’t be bothered to understand the characters that make such things interesting in the first place, it’s a fail.
Who cares? Does he think it can be saved? Like how? Is he going to cut out all the silly useless for the plot stuff? Or is he going to make it longer and worse?
No, no, no, you don’t understand! He shot an entire 90 minutes worth of stuff that would’ve made up an entirely different movie and it all ended up on the cutting room floor! Pfft. Hollywood.
Basically yes. He is going to remove much of the humor and replace it with more real character moments.
As the story is know so far. The company that made the popular trailer was hired to completely re-edit the entire movie, without Ayer’s involvement at all. The studio wanted something more like Guardians of The Galaxy. Which was not what Ayer made. So they just replaced him in the editing room, and made the mess we all know.
It’s entirely possible they forgot when recreating the menu for the blu-ray version, to include that easter-egg. Alot of blu-ray players can load individual tracks without needing to be linked to them, hopefully you have one like that. So you can at least see it. If not, then the computer software versions pretty much all can. If you have a blu-ray disc drive. If not, I’m sure the clip it would play is somewhere on the internet.
