I don't get the hate for the Lynch movie.

I'm as big a fan of Lynch's Dune as you'll find, but it was a deeply, deeply flawed movie.

It has more colour, for sure.

In what way?

Constant exposition, really compressed story-telling, constant internal monologing, the stupid weirding modules, why does Paul's victory make it rain at the end?

But it frequently looks really, really cool.

How it looks is the one and only good thing about Lynch's movie. Everything else is a trainwreck.

Haters gonna hate I suppose.

Not everything.  It has Sting and Kyle McLachlan.

The more I think about it, the more I dislike that the new Dune just ends in the middle of the story. The movie isn't called Dune: The Beginning, or Dune: Part Un, or anything like that. It's called Dune. The movie doesn't do what it says on the tin. That's a bad movie.

I dunno - it was very widely known that it was only adapting half of the book.

Not widely enough that the person picking the title was aware of it.

It's titled on screen as "Dune: Part One".

Fair enough. The version I saw was called Dune.
