Dune or The Lord of the Rings?

[Scurrybt]

Personally, I prefer Dune.

I do wish Dragonriders of Pern and the Chronicles of Prydain got more recognition.

And the Willow Shadow War Chronicles. ♥♥♥♥ Disney+'s noncanon trash.

And Ursula Le Guin's work deserves to be known for more than just the so-so Ghibli adaptations.

Dune or The Lord of the Rings?

Personally, I prefer Dune.

Hard choice, especially if it's the complete book series.

Each series has it's charm.

If it is the movie(s) then I like The Lord of the Rings the best.

If it's TV series then I like Dune the best, especially since Hollywood tried to break cannon with Tolkien by getting woke: The Elves and Dwarves were played by actors that do not look like how the Elves and Dwarves are described in the books.

ATM I am having a difficult time digesting the Foundation TV series because Hollywood has changed too much from the books.

It would have been easier to digest changes if Hollywood just started their movies or TV productions by adding a footnote if they diverged from original books. Example : "In a parallel universe to Asimov's Foundation..... "

Book or film?

Film, LOTR is fine but it's up there with many other favourites - I can't do the whole numbers game. There's either "I like this a fair bit" or some variance on that and that's about it.


But the Godfather trilogy, Come and See, Das Boot, City of God and so many other films are right up there with it.

Book wise, LOTR wins hands down. Nobody writes quite like Tolkien. But even then there's a lot of other writers and books fairly close to it. Isaac Asimov stuff I still love especially the Foundation saga. David Gemmell's book, or David Eddings, and of course god himself, Terry Pratchett.

The miniseries, which is arguably better than the original movie, is on YT. Haven't seen the new movie to compare it against yet.

In my opinion, Part 1 and Part 2 of the new movie is the best film adaptation of Dune I’ve seen.

Always read the books first (except for Jurassic Park and Starship Troopers, then watch the movies first because they are objectively better).

I would say the Princess Bride and Andromeda Strain.

Part 2?

I must have missed that. I was so disappointed, I felt betrayed because I thought it was incomplete.

The movie seemed to end not long after Paul became Fremen and Duncan Idaho's last stand against the Sardaukar
