I went to see Dune with my wife today. It was the first opportunity we've had to go out on a date in quite a while and thankfully the movie was very good. We both liked part 1 quite a bit and I'm a big fan of the novels.

Here's a review of Dune part 2 that I largely agreed with and that doesn't really have many spoilers.

I'll also try to get a book/movie review up in the next couple of days.

I felt like part 1 was a 2 hour trailer for part 2.

Did you enjoy the movie?

Yes. Part 1 and part 2 combined are 5 hours well spent. Read the book too and you've got yourself a pretty full week.

My wife and I did exactly the same today. It was good. I liked both movies a lot. Very refreshing change from the garbage pumped out by Disney lately.

I wouldn't say they're close to my favorite movies, but they are very impressive and I like that they are very different from anything else being made.

It's nice to see a movie that is legitimately artistic and that clearly a lot of care went into making.

They sort of remind me of 2001: A Space Opera, in that they show the story of the book very well, but I prefer the high level of detail and exposition in the books.

I really enjoyed the book, one of my favorites. I've been hard selling it to my 2 older kids, and my son started reading recently. My daughter continues to ignore me and keeps her nose dived deep into Rick Riordan stuff, but I will persist on the hard selling.

I find the first movie quite enjoyable and am very interested in going to see part 2 in the theaters. Problem is finding time to go...

Looking forward to reading your review.
