    And that will likely be where they end the movies as the books start becoming weirder.

    I seem to recall Denis making it clear this is where he intends to stop, for exactly this reason.

    goddamnit, I wanted to see

    spoilerLeto 2 becoming the sandworm god

    but I guess with some of the disappointing scenes in the 2nd film (Paul taming Shai Hulud, the visions just being shots on a beach) , it probably wasn't going to go down the way I wanted to. It's a shame.

    Soundtrack was still awesome, but it did re-use a LOT from the previous film

    Did you see the Syfy series?

    At least the syfy miniseries dared to adapt Children of Dune.

    I actually like it. We finally get an Irulan with agency and see Alia as a full character. And Leto 2 getting sandy.

    Not sure how I feel about the Baron narrating in rhyming couplets though. Maybe just a tad too strange, even for Dune.

    It wasn't bad. It is better than Lynch's film. It's not as good as the Villenuve's.

    If it means anything I read all the books

    Where does Jodo's work rank in your estimation?

    He never finished it but Im not a fan of that guy. Self admitted rapists shouldn't be celebrated.

    The American mind can't comprehend the glory of Leto III.

    An American wrote the whole series. What we cannot do is make the 4th book interesting on film

    But why not? Who doesn't love a giant worn talking around the fact that he's created a fascist dictatorship for some vague promise that'll it all pay off one day? /s

    It's 500 pages of exposition and little story?

    Oh! Did you not know and were speculating? The movies will only cover the first two books. The third book is when stuff starts to get... odd.

    But the fourth book is mostly talking with an action set piece at the beginning and the end. I didn't read the next book

    No Im in my 50s and Im spacing whether it's the fourth or fifth book that is mostly Leto engaging in exposition.

    If ypu missed the last book you missed "Jews in Space" before Mel Brooks thought of it.

    It's been like 6 years since I've read the books and I really didn't enjoy Dune Messiah but I also think parts of Children of Dune will be included. If you browse IMDB they have casted the son and daughter.

    I like the first one so much that I read it multiple times as a kid, but then I read the second one and decided that was as far in the series as I needed to go.
