I wasn't much a fan of DV's first Dune movie, largely for the seemingly unnecessary changes and trumped up action scenes. This one was much better, even though it had seemingly unnecessary changes and trumped up action scenes.
The fact is that I can get past your changes if you give me a well paced feast for the eyes. They're still annoying, but I'll be a lot more forgiving. The most glaring change was Chani, someone in production felt like the movie needed a stronger female character or something, if so they completely misunderstood get the balance of powers in the books. The change to Alia I can write off as them wanting to give Rebecca Ferguson a meatier role, which is fine.
Just an amazing film visually, proving once again the DV has the vision even if his writing lacks. I still worry about him being attached to Rama because he's too willing to compromise and make alterations, even though I know he would be the absolute best choice visually.
