Dune 2 sticks out like a lighthouse in a sea of mediocrity. One of the greatest, and boldest movies I have ever seen.

You mean the third adaptation of a very popular book? Not exactly wildly original.

Still a great movie though.

Not original exactly, but the 1984 version was critically panned, and most people don't even know the scifi miniseries even exists. It was said by most people to be unadaptable after those attempts. Taking the step to out that kind of money behind it is pretty bold, and it's original in that there's nothing else like it in the cinema right now, or in a while.

I think he meant to say baldest instead of boldest.

Really leans into the fan fiction aspect of the original books.

Because adapting a book that is considered unadaptable isn't bold

This version of it is by far the best and really does the book justice, but "bold" is not a word I would use to describe the third adaptation of the same classic piece of literature.
