SpiderByte Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just now, Menor said: I'm still looking forward to this but generally first reviews from a festival should be quite positive. It is still positive here but there are more negatives than I expected. And (more concerning) the flaws mentioned seem like things that will kill the appeal to general audiences. Had always been my take. Denis Villeneuve doing Dune is much more appealing to people familiar with Dune than people with no fucking idea what Dune is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Another 5 star rave, from The Guardian whoever said about our UK critics preferring it might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I get Mad Max Fury Road vibes. A film that a generation will absolutely adore, yet cost too much to make and didn’t have any direct sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, given Denis Villeneuve's history this was a given regardless of if the reviews matched his previous work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury Road was loved by everyone out the gate, this...not so much (and only the trades have seen it so far, who knows what will happen once it moves beyond the festival circuit). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, even the very positive reviews have the dreaded "slow burn" phrase attached to them which combined with the property's reputation will be a GA interest killer.

filmlover Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Now that the reviews are out this probably would've struggled to make much more than Blade Runner 2049 did had it made its pre-COVID release date of last December but it doesn't matter now since like all of WB's movies this year it's a write-off after the HBO Max announcement.

HBO Max is definitely the best thing that could have happened to Dune, any underperformance can be masked there. The release date is also so bad, right after Bond, Venom and Halloween.

Win is likely out of question, but nom should be fine for 10 spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
