Dune part 2 is Bad

I think this movie is bad. If you think this movie is good then I genuinely have no problem with that. This video was made simply to express my opinion on the state of Hollywood and movies in general. Enjoy if you enjoy and be a hater if you hate it. But leave a comment nonetheless.

​@@AllAreBroken Everyone else isn't an angsty teenager, that's what you're missing. Don't review movies you don't understand. "so the previews finish and I'm already in a bad mood" "maybe my disdain for this movie is blinding my judgement" One example of the many examples, you ask why Dave Bautista is so incompetent, why doesn't he attack them? Why is he failing so badly? If you watch the movie, Bautista fails by underestimating the Fremen. Paul inspires the Fremen to fight more north than they ever have before. The Baron sends Feyd to fix his mess and makes progress on that front. You might also remember, had you watched the movie, the scene between Pugh(princess) and Walker(Emperor) that they will not interfere, to avoid inspiring this prophet Muad'dib. It isn't until Walker sees the Atreides seal in the message that he arrives on Arrakis. You're watching this movie expecting a simple Marvel movie and it's very clear by your review. This might surprise you, but if you watch the movie you can piece together why every scene is very important. The moral of the story is not to blindly follow charismatic leaders. Paul gets his revenge, the Fremen take back their planet, and the holy jihad to rule the universe begins at the end of the movie.

[@romelegionmaker8625]

​@@AllAreBrokenFor me I like the world-building, for example the harkonnen home-world which does a great job at portraying the heartlessness and evil of the harkonnens and immersing the audience, the performances of the harkonnen characters, especially the baron and his nephew, are great villians to root against and represent the evil and heartless morals and strategy of the harkonnens, and the performance of stilgar and the portrayal of the fremen invest me in the fremen and their goals, and the character arc of paul which sees him mature and become mentally strong is awesome. Also, the cinematography is absolutely amazing and so immersive, the battle scenes are so good, very gritty and intense. The story is interesting and quite complex and thrilling, and well-adapted in my opinion. There are complex underlying themes, such as jessica and paul's manipulation of the fremen using their version of the bene gesserit prophecy. Paul's hesitation to use the prophecy to take advantage of the fremen also make him more relatable and easier to root for. Jessica taking advantage of the fremen initialy makes her less likable, but it is clear that she is doing it for the good of paul and the atreides. Of course it is not as good as something like the lord of the rings.. I don't really like the casting choice of Zendaya (it feels like she is a californian teen drama-queen, not an alien from a harsh and war-torn alien planet), I don't think the emperor had enough screen time & his motivations although extremely clear felt like they were being fed to the audience to advance the plot via the harkonnens. As a result, all of the power feels like it rests with the harkonnen Baron and his nephew, and the emperor commands zero authority or dread when he lands on Arrakis with his forces. Also, for all of the time we spent from the POV of the harkonnens, they felt like mindless killing machines who were mediocre at best compared to the fremen. I would have liked to see the harkonnens built up as foreboding and dreadful, remorseless killers, which brought danger to the fremen when they clashed. It would have given more weight to their final defeat. They certainly weren't as bad as stormtroopers, but for several of the ambushes and skirmishes I seem to recall watching them from the harkonnen's POV, and it felt as if we were supposed to be experiencing the tension and dread they felt, which made the fremen seem like dreaded, face-less killers and the harkonnens feel like helpless slighty improved stormtroopers, resulting in the final battle scene being less gripping than it could've been, so the movie's concluson was a little less satisfying than I would've liked. Though, the final duel is definetely an edge of your seat type moment, the baron's nephew feels like a sadistic killer who really could mercilessly kill paul if he makes even one mistake. Overall I think its good but it could've been better. But its really good lol.

Ain't no way you complained about Dune being too much like Dune

[@psyBeam-]

Paul asked for the emperor’s daughter’s hand as a power play. He loved Channi, which is what makes the scene tragic. You say she wasn’t very reactive but you forget she abandoned Paul and her people because she knew they were lost. I found that extremely emotional, and I thought Zendaya crushed that performance especially when she hops on the Sand worm after. 5:23

[@psyBeam-]

Also there was a lot of “show don’t tell” in the movie. I share a lot of your sentiments about Hollywood producing emotionless trash, but that opinion is misplaced with this movie. I think it was a shining example of how you can actually make a good movie. How were you not swimming in that atmosphere and universe - it actually reminds me a lot of the Lord of the Rings.

[@psyBeam-]

Also the shields deflect fast moving objects and also obliterate everything if they’re hit with a laser. Hence why they use swords and can’t just fly everywhere. Also technology is allowing them to fly, not everyone has it.

[@psyBeam-]

12:53 I think I see why you didn’t like this.. Paul is not a hero, he’s a tragic character. He’s not meant to be Jesus, he’s the danger of trying to convince a person and a people that he is. If that makes sense. No idea why I put so much effort into this haha, this video is a bad take sorry man.

[@paintspot1509]

There is no tragedy here. Emotionless character and a terrible romantic arc makes this totally unbelievable from a story telling perspective. Unsurprisingly, there relationship is done much better in the book.

[@paintspot1509]

​@@psyBeam- couldn't disagree with you more. There is absolutely zero emotion in this film, due to bad acting and bad story telling.

[@SnakeWasRight]

While I agree the villains were a little dumbed down, overcoming them REALLY isn't the point here, which you seem to have entirely missed. The point is NOT that Paul is a hero, the point is that, while perhaps the revenge is justified, and the imperials and Harkonnens are evil and rotten to the core, the messianic movement that Paul starts will actually become even more destructive, BECAUSE his movement is so justified. It's so easy for the fremen to fall under the spell and become fanatics who will go on to slaughter billions in Paul's name. Not a spoiler, literally the premise since the first movie.

[@ivanstayner8818]

(WARNING. LONG COMMENT. WARNING. LONG COMMENT) The movie is too long. And that is a bad thing why? The movie is long because there is alot of story to tell, and 2 hours isnt enough time to tell it. I personally enjoyed the long run time. I enjoy 2+ hours movies because then it doesnt feel rushed. I HATE MOVIES THAT FEEL RUSHED. Take the time to make a 20 minute scene, 40 minutes, add more dialogue that helps to explain what is going on. The Dune world is like middle earth. There is SO MUCH going on in the dune universe. The charatures are emotionless. And that is a bad thing why? They are emotionless because that is what this world has made them. You cant be emotional because only the strong can survive on that world. So many people have gone through tramatic events on that planet. And just because you dont cry about it doesnt mean they are completly void of emotions. They show them in a diffrent way. We saw a 20 minute scene of a man getting honored and drained into the pool. THAT IS EMOTIONAL. Not everyone cries at funeral or burials. The movie had alot of emotions. Love, anger, sadness, confusion, acceptance, so on. He kills his grandfather without emotions because he doesnt have emotions for his grandfather. He killed his enitre family. Why would you ever want to show emotions when acting upon revenge? And if you want to be a strong and powerful leader. You have to be emotionally strong. If you are gonna cry over every single death in war. You will never get what needs to be done, done. They can fly? YES THEY CAN. And that a bad thing why? Maybe they cant fly all the time because it requires a resource they are low on. Or maybe because that makes them just as easy targets. They dont have those special shields. And we see there are weapons that can penertrate those sheilds. And its hard to use a sword to its full potential when you are 30 feet above someone. And inorder to kill that person with your sword, you have to be on the ground. And a good reason for why they dont use more dragonfly ships is probably because they dont have enough of them. And AGIAN. We see they can can be taken out. So why lose 4-5 ships when instead you can lose 1 ship and still have 3-4 ships as backup. The Baron is an INCREDABLY smart ruler so im sure he had his reasons that either the books explained, or the movie wasnt long enough to explain. Dune is nothing like LOTR. And thats a bad thing why? LOTR is a high fantasy story, based in the medieval times. Dune is a sci-fi fantasy based 8,000 years into the future. Just based on that description alone. They are not going to be alike. Moving on. What is the moral of the story? Its about freedom vs absolute power. Its about Revenge and taking back what was taken from someone. For Paul it was revenge. For the group, it was about taking back the planet they once owned. And the movie isnt about religion. The entire movie goes "hes the savior, oooor is he?" Because alot of the things paul does is based around luck and getting lucky. The entire movie goes back and forth between saying that he is the savior, he is the one, he is the mosiah. But when he drinks the water of life, he doesnt come back without help. EVEN THO, the prophecy states he will come back WITHOUT HELP. He will ride a worm, but how many of those people can already do that? He will do this, he will do that. The prophacy is very vague. And its also stated that there are multiple prophets. So paul may not be the one. So I dont believe the story is about religion, I just think that is how that culture acts and stays united as a people. I believe the story was simply about surpressed people rising up to take back what was taken from them. And finally Religion. Yes it had a religious undertone. And that is a bad thing why? We dont know what their religion is about. What their religion says or talks about in the movies. Maybe in the books it goes more into detail about it. But you also have to remember that this movie is based on the books which were written in the 1950-1960. When religion was become more and more popular in that time. So it makes sense that this story would pull from multiple places. But having a religious undertone is not a bad thing and doesnt make it a bad movie. And why does it have to follow the story of Jesus? Why does it have to do justice to the story of jesus when jesus is never even mentioned in the books or movies. Its LIKE the story of jesus, but its not ABOUT the story of jesus, so the story doesnt have to do it justice? Its a story about a man who loses everything, and takes revege while giving back the people what they lost. Would you admit that Gandalf's story is alot like jesus's story? Gandalf was sent down to middle earth by the Valar to watch over and protect the people of middle earth. And he does, and it leads to his death, and what happens to Gandalf? He comes back, dawning white robes and more power. And he leads the free people of middle earth to paradise. Free from the evils of mordor and Sauron. Sounds very simpliar dont you think? This story is told alot on hollywood because its just a good story. Having people come back after being killed by the evil people to take rid the evil is a powerful and just good story. But it has nothing to do with jesus. This story has been written even before jesus. People dying and coming back. Its not JUST a jesus thing. Its a good way to write a story. So dont claim they are "stealing" from religion when those themes have been written even before jesus and modern religion was a thing. Its just a way of writting a story, and a powerful charature. Basically what im saying is, just because you didnt like it, doesnt make it a bad movie. You just didnt understand the movie for what it was. Maybe retitle this video to "Why I think Dune 2 is bad" Instead of claiming the movie is bad because you didnt like it. Critics rate the movie a 93% and audience rate it 95%. So clearly the movie is a good movie, NOT a bad movie. You kinda better understand now?

[@MikeBird95]

If you want a movie and not a proper retelling of the book then go watch the 1987 movie. This is in 2 parts purely so you get the full story with all the relevant back story. I personally didn't feel like 2 hours 45 was long enough. If Oppenheimer can be 3 hours long then so can this. Also I think you're missing the point of "emotional payoff". By the end of the movie Paul is so far removed from feeling emotional about his actions. That's literally part of his character arc. If he got emotional about killing the Baron it would be so out of character at that point in the story. So would be his decision to choose Chani over following what he now sees as his destiny. I think you're getting mixed up with what you want compared to what is correct, necessary and accurate. And finally, your question of "why don't they have guns" just proves you didn't really pay attention to the story. They give you the exact answer in one of the first scenes of Part 1. If you missed that then you probably missed most of the setup for the movies, that probably makes sense as to why you thought the movie was bad.

[@AllAreBroken]

I’m not asking for emotional responses from just Paul. Nobody cares about anything that happens in this movie. Perhaps that’s the point and I missed it. But I just can connect with emotionally dead characters.

[@MikeBird95]

@@AllAreBroken well the only people who know the whole picture in the movie are Paul, his mother and the Bene Gesserit. Its not within their characters to become emotional so who else should be emotional? Chani and the northerners show anger and betrayal, Stilgar and the southeners show belief and optimism. That's a fair few emotions displayed magnificently in the film.

Moral of the story is seeing how greater people organize the idea of the messiah so that they can potentially control people that choose to follow religion. How power and resources can lead to one taking on the mantle of a hero or savior or messiah. It was written a long time ago reflecting not only past civilizations but the current time.

Concerning religion in Dune: Most people use the Orange Catholic Bible. Christianity in this future time is more ecumenical. It is quite warped. But it would be more correct for you to say that the people in Dune are practicing a strange form of Christianity than to say they ripped off a bunch of ideas from Christianity.

[@Shan_Dalamani]

You do have a point about the lack of emotion. That cache of water being destroyed would be devastating to the Fremen. However... emotion for killing the Baron? Oh. Please. The Baron tried to kill Paul and his mother. Why the hell would he feel remorse at taking revenge for that? Especially since in the novel it's ALIA who kills the Baron. Not having her kill the Baron has completely screwed her character for Dune Messiah. Villeneuve is an idiot. And remorse for killing Feyd-Rautha? Again, why should he? Feyd would happily kill Paul. Feyd doesn't give a crap about Paul as a person to get to know. He's just one more obstacle in the Harkonnens' own ambitions. As for Chani and Irulan, you haven't read much history, have you? This is how royal marriages happened for thousands of years. You don't necessarily get to marry for love. Paul married Irulan because she's Shaddam's oldest daughter and he had no sons. It's the quickest way to get power, though he actually could have taken the throne by inheritance (Duke Leto was the Emperor's cousin). He doesn't love Irulan, though. It's Chani he loves (not sure why, given how much scowling she does in this movie; the book version of Chani was still tough-minded but a hell of a lot more pleasant).

[@Hemroyd_Skankins]

I don't agree with all of your points, even though I wasn't a fan of the movie either. Most of my problems with Dune Pt 2 are how they dumbed down the message, plot, and worldbuilding for a moviegoing audience. A large part of Dune's story and message is about how power structures centralize, become stagnant, and attract corruption. In the book, this point is communicated by having various political factions that vie for power whilst being symbiotically dependent on each other. These factions include the Emperor, who represents military power, the Bene Gesserit, who represent cultural power and espionage, the Navigators, who hold a monopoly over the means of space travel, CHOAM, which represents economic power, and the Landsraad, the decentralized feudal lords who actually directly rule over the majority of humanity. Its not an accident that the direct rulers (the Landsraad) are the least powerful of these factions. Villeneuve completely cuts out the Navigators and CHOAM. He never even explains exactly why the Spice is necessary for space travel, just that it is. He also weakens the Emperor to the point at which he comes across as a complete figurehead who is destined to be destroyed. Sure, the Emperor doesn't have absolute power and is undercut by the Bene Gesserit and challenged by the Landsraad. However, he is supposed to have agency, to have his own place within this symbiotic web of political relationships. In the book, the end is potent because Paul uses his power over the spice to break this complex web of symbiotic monopolies and establish his own power. He does this through extremely violent means (galactic jihad), but its made clear the reader that this might very well have been the only way through. VIlleneuve pays lip service to this idea, but never explains it or introduces the the necessary concepts to justify it. Villeneuve's Dune is basically just Star Wars with a lots of extra hand wringing over the horrors of war and the fanaticism of religion.

I didn't find Dune 2 good at all...psychologically flat...the most exciting scene was completely left out (the sex scene between the young psychopath and Bene-Geserit, which is only mentioned), Paul's inner conflict is abstract, I did didn't feel it...and there's only a fight between the bad guys and the insanely evil ones, of course you don't want the insanely bad guys to win with their evil bathing rituals, but you're not for the Fremen either, it is There is no beautiful utopia in the film at all...they could all die in the film, are you shocked? Not me... The film should have portrayed the main character's conflict, the love between him and Chani and the Fremen as a community that you as a viewer can also like (with all its flaws) in a believable and touching way... it would have needed more time, not for that the far too many monumental scenes... (why don't you show a brief excerpt of the cheering crowd in the arena scene so that you can also see the fanatical people, not just a cheering crowd??) I think a good epic film shows the good guys, including their vulnerable side, a very good epic film also shows a vulnerable side of the bad guys...in Dune, no one was really vulnerable and human...everyone is hollow fighting machines. ..boring. I know this isn't a sci-fi example, but Lord of the Rings also tells its story through its characters, a lot of time is devoted to their inner conflicts, we can understand them and have the impression that we, as viewers, are on the journey . This is how stories have to be made into films. The different characters in Dune 2 were also kind of boring, to exaggerate one could say, actually they are all Paul Atreides: the unborn sister is Paul at the beginning of his life, Vladimir Harkonnen is Paul at the end of his life, the mother, Chani, etc. are his Intermediate stages... I also find it particularly annoying that reference is made again and again to thousands of years old studies and collection of knowledge by, for example, the Bene-Geserit, but NO ONE in this story has even the slightest shred of wisdom...humanity would have died out long ago... It's a shame, the film could have been good...

Why does everybody love the Dune movies? They're the most overrated and boring crap besides One Piece.

You're such a whiner

i fucking hated dune 2, but this video... ewww.....

[@boof2968]

Go watch Serbian film

[@kokbasE]

Dune is like Lord of the Rings in the sense that they both waste your time with pages and pages of overly verbose and boring "world building."

[@solaawodiya7360]

I think you need to read the book to fully understand.

[@tribbybueno]

you make some valid points. i really thought the first dune did a better job of keeping the audience immersed. there was so much cheesy comedic relief and stuff in this movie and it was completely out of place. i still think this is a great film but it definitely isn't the masterpiece people are making it out to be. i will say though, cinematography and cgi wise, this movie *is* a masterclass on aesthetic and setting the mood. hans zimmer also did some AMAZING work on the score here. Story aside, the technical side of the production here is 10/10 edit: your point about the sacred pool is actually massive, i thought about it too but in retrospect it is a huge deal they just made its destruction a non-issue.

[@AllAreBroken]

Thanks for giving some feedback. I actually want people to disagree with my take, it’s partially why I made the video. But the sacred pool scene was probably what inspired me the most to make this video. It’s okay to have a lack of emotion, but the religious zealots having no reaction was wild to me.

[@tribbybueno]

@@AllAreBroken for sure, especially having that juxtaposed against the actual frenzy the southerners go into any time paul flicked his boogers in a way that aligned with the 'prophecy'

Dune 2 is bad... but not for any of the reasons you mention. I've never seen someone be right for so many of the wrong reasons before. I'm not even sure you watched the movie, as you keep saying things that are directly contradictory to what actually happened on screen. Dun 2 is bad because the story was hijacked in the last few minutes to deviate from the original for no good reason whatsoever. You've clearly never read the book, though, so that change was lost on you.

LotR movies do absolutely suck though so you're just compeltely wrong there

[@DBZpfpguy]

Are you stupid? The LOTR trilogy is WAY better than this overrated crap!

[@anotheraggieburneraccount]

[@karachaffee3343]
