Dune (2020) - Denis Villeneuve

Still hoping my 4K of Lynch's Dune hasn't been gobbled up by the postal service, as it was apparently posted last Friday and no show yet. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's a big guilty pleasure, like Hawk The Slayer or Big Trouble in Little China.

Big Trouble in Litte China is not a guilty pleasure. It's the greatest movie of all time.
 
I'm trying not to read/watch too much about it with the release so close, I failed and watched the last trailer when i was an adamant I wouldn't, then proceeded to watch it another 4 or 5 times, it's all looking fantastic so far.

Can Confirm... #DuneMovie will possibly go down as one of the great epics in sci-fi history. - The acting is stellar across the board - The VFX + Practical effects are beautifully mixed - This may be @HansZimmer's best score ever. SEE IT IN A THEATER!

Sometimes you just know when you've seen an all-time great... And #Dune is, to me, an all-time great. Denis Villeneuve's masterpiece is a sweeping symphony of spectacle, sound, and storytelling. A cinematic odyssey that is every bit as visceral as it is epic

Part One. Jaw-dropping gorgeous to watch, rousing to experience. It pumps and pumps and pumps that spice in your veins. Ferguson is commanding, intense as usual. Chalamet gives his best in such a subdued action role. Geometric elegance in chaos. #DuneMovie

DUNE is undeniably a film. Brimming with a score, cinematography, and performances, it’s a motion picture made by a team of filmmakers that can irrefutably be described as existent. Truly one of the films 2021 has to offer.

One more rolled in.

Still buzzing from Dune. Not sure I've been as 'WHOA, AGAIN!' as this after coming out of a cinema since LOTR: Return of the King (ok fine, without the ending)

I'm not sure you should be quoting that Henry one as a particularly overwhelming positive review. As far as I can tell he is simply admitting that the film exists, just is rather florid language.
 
I'm expecting/hoping it's great, but let's temper expectations based on those preview reviews. It was only a week or two ago almost every outlet that had early access to Shang-chi was shilling with the same language over how "triumphant" that movie was. Regular reviewers had different views a week later when they got to see it.
