Spice = Oil
Arrakis = Iraq
Emperor Shaddam IV = Saddam Hussein

It should have more action but there are still a lot of heavy politics and and probably more Paul "acid dreams"

i love this one, people can be super manipulative

would be true if it wasnt that Dune books (1965) predate saddam hussein lol

no warhammer movie yet? whelp at least we have dune..

Watching this movie really hhhhnnnnggghhh 😍

those who played dune in the past or read novel would appreciate this movie.

If you read the novels, is Paul really a Messiah or he is just someone who wanted revenge and uses religion to rise to power?

His son is the Messiah

Probably not because part 1 is already sleepy. They should make it exciting, grab the attention, then do proper story telling next

His son is Leto, right?

I thought he become a tyrant and rule for few thousand years

Then it is not Dune anymore.

The so called boring part is essential to the story telling.

Not really,
I haven't read the novel and only come to touch the game a few times here and there but i still love the movie......
So far the movie had only come to conclusion relationship of Harkonnen, Atreides and the emperor but we had yet to seen Ordos

first hour snooze fest
with soundtrack bassy its like reading buku sejarah sekolah
after the attack ok la
visual is nice

v interesting lore didnt knw the Jedi was based off Bene Gesserit
i can see it has lots of depth and background like LOTR/ 40k

If Dune is slowburn....

Then if they adapt my fav sci-fi Asimov's 'Foundation' then ppl ma fall asleep in the cinema...?

foundation from apple tv also just came out.

Yes I felt boring too, I dislikes especially those slow burning or slow motion movies, not only this, the overhyped Snyder's cut Justice League had me slept even on the opening superbly slow motion moving pace.

Probably due to Malaysian fast paced culture? Hehe. You knew how fast paced we are when we have 3x government and cabinet changes in 3 years. Meanwhile this could be good to kill time for people whom seek for slow paced relaxing time.

ordos is just a spinoff, won't appear in movie kot. main storyline doesn't have ordos as well.
