nah, dune sucks because it’s basically a feudalism simp and a story about space power plays. It’s basically game of thrones but in a space desert instead of a frozen wasteland.
the film kicks ass because it combines a kickass soundtrack with (mostly) cool visuals.
Though I remember Dune 1 being better on that front than Dune 2, the visuals and music seemed fresher and more varied; the sequel re-used too many things, and the tripping balls sequences did not go hard enough. I wanted to see Paul and his mum actually trip balls as the pierced the veil of time, not a few cutaways here and there.
TL;DR : treat it like nightmare before christmas or something, check it out as an audiovisual experience.
EDIT : the jihad references are before the increase in islamic terrorism, Frank Herbert just based a lot of the stuff off arabian culture because he wanted it to match the desert feel. Jihad just means struggle.
Uh you know that Dune is 40 years older than GoT right? And Hebert is explicit about the use of Middle Eastern culture because the whole spice thing is a metaphor for oil right?

ok, I’m trying to make the other guy not be intimidated.

Meh? I know it’s from the 50s, IDK when GOT was made, and I don’t care. I’m trying to put a comparison to something else. Nightmare Before Christmas was made after both the GOT books and Dune too, but it still serves to explain what the film is like to me.
