Dune: Part Two - Movie Review

[@LuigiL75]

This will be the ONLY movie I watch at the theaters this year...

[@thefilmjump]

Make it IMAX!

[@creategreatness8823]

If I had to make a list of what I intend to see, what I feel like I MUST see, Dune Part Two was definitely the first: -March 29th - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire -April 19th - The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare -July 26th - Deadpool & Wolverine -December 25th - Nosferatu Some "maybe" movies, depending on the company -The Fall Guy, A Quiet Place: Day One, Horizon: An American Saga Chapters 1 + 2, Twisters, Transformers One, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 I don't go to a TON of movies these days, I pick and choose my battles carefully...but there are usually a few "Must-see" for me...although after Dune Part Two and Godzilla x Kong....my hype and interest in anything else is significantly diminished.

JUST SAW IT. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND WORDS. I TRIED TALKING ABOUT IT COMING OUT OF THE THEATER, IT WAS MOSTLY HYPER EXCITED YAMMERING. I'M STILL KINDA IN A MILD SHOCK FROM IT. I KNEW THE STORY, I READ IT WHEN I WAS 22, AND I READ DUNE MESSIAH, AND I READ CHILDREN OF DUNE. NOT FROM THE STORY IMPACT( WHICH IS THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION STORY I HAVE EVER READ), JUST IN HOW EXTREMELY WELL THE MOVIE WAS DONE..... DIRECTING, ACTING, EFFECTS, SCREENPLAY, DESIGN, COSTUMES, CINEMATOGRAPHY. IT WAS A FULL BATTERY OF PERFECTION, AND IT PACKED A MAMMOTH PUNCH. HANS ZIMMERS SCORE WAS MESMERIZING. I HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN. GONNA BE A LOT OF AWARDS FOR THIS ONE.

[@thefilmjump]

Yeah our review was almost more of a reaction because of how jaw dropping it is. Hard to find the words to praise a movie that is so well made in every sense. Truly an epic cinematic achievement

[@queenofwater8783]

Well, the first part always includes exposition and character introductions, so it’s going to be slower with less action.

[@king_supreme1102]

I think Austin Butler gives one of the best villain PERFORMANCES in a long time. But yeah, the character isn’t focused on enough to say it’s up there with Anton Chigurh or Heath Ledger Joker. But the performance is peak.

[@thefilmjump]

Agreed. There is nuance there, and he’s a fantastic villain, but I think he needed just a bit more to join the top. That knife fight though….man what a scene.

Denis Villeneuve loves his actors. And his actors loves him. You see it on screen.

[@thefilmjump]

Denis and the entire cast and crew work so well together. It’s really a miracle of collaboration from people who love what they’re doing.

[@Thefamgang]

The movie is just outstanding in every way.. i now want the cinema to release part 1 &2 together now

[@thefilmjump]

That would be an epic double feature!

[@lonl123]

I was still wearing my dirty work Uniform, when I drove like a mad man clear across town to see it opening night...got in the theatre just in time when the lights were going dim. It's the greatest Sci Fi movie ever made. Only a few other movies even come close. I don't cry, but I had tears on my face at the end of this movie. I so desperately want to see it again in IMAX.

[@thefilmjump]

How great it is to be able to experience a movie that makes you feel like you’ve just watched the greatest one ever made. It’s the reason we love movies and being able to see them in the theater! The more we keep thinking about Dune, the better it gets. Round 2 is happening soon!

[@Makaneek5060]

Literary history buff here, one way I think this was written so well is it gives actual gravitas and punch to showing how real holy war conquerors like Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan among others stirred up seemingly everyone who spoke their language. Read the book and couldn't have asked for better. Its exactly what Herbert was interested in, and Villeneuve's adaptive delivery made me want to pick up a crysknife of my own.

[@thefilmjump]

Well said!

[@ethancoster1324]

Dune Messiah's going to turn off the action buffs if its faithful.

[@halfalligator6518]

you don't wanna watch a blind man go mad deciphering all his and the universes possible futures? 🤣. Creepy intelligent babies are not mainstream? ... what about the Huts? 🤣🤣🤣. I'm sure it could be made more like a thriller... more personal and disturbing. Hopefully the action fans are open minded to switch genre a little bit. I'm sure Denis would make the character stuff more dramatic (book can make you feel a little distant from the emotion of the characters), and the book (Messiah) glosses over a lot of implied events (wars in far off worlds etc) which could be exploited in an action oriented film :). I think the studio execs ultimately decide and they'll push for it if part 2 box office doubles their spend (which it most certainly will). Actually now I think about it, the android aspects of the film could go really deep into interesting themes etc (don't want to spoil but I presume you'll know what I mean). Basically it might be a film that Blade Runner 2049 fans would love. Maybe even more than part 2. There are a lot of themes to flesh out and I'm sure part 2 could not handle them all.

[@thefilmjump]

I think Denis would deliver a solid adaptation regardless

[@ChrisPeteG]

Having done a bit of research into it...I generally think I will be one of those "Part 1 and 2 were enough" I understand the intrigue and value of inverting and subverting a narrative, of bringing a story to a tragic conclusion. But the journey of Dune 1 and 2 was so supremely satisfying, and I love the open and uncertain notes that it ends on. I don't necessarily need to see any further chapters to see how it all plays out and unravels. I don't think the high of Part 2 will be matched, particularly by a narrative like Messiah.

[@kingbolo4579]

@@ChrisPeteG Let's trust Denis. Anyway, I don't doubt I'll go see it regardless, when the time comes.

[@cooswillemse7551]

Thought messiah was a terrible book. The first book shook me to my core . It didn’t leave me for 2 weeks after reading it. Messiah was so disappointing. Can’t see it being filmed.

[@hwica2753]

My only disappointment was, in the book, Paul's sister Alia was born and was about 3, and it was her that killed Baron Vladimir with the Gom Jabber and acknowledged the Baron as grandfather. In all other respects the movie was amazing.

[@HILAL19564]

For the people who say 1 was boring.. I don't know what you were watching but was it the same movie. The first hour of 1 was setting up the movie and once the attack or total annihilation of house atreides begun dune 1 was one flawless epic, breathtaking scifi movie. And I go so far to say that the action sequences of 1 were better than in 2. The reason why 2 feels better is that the story is on a more important place of the journey of Paul and fremen and everybody that was in it. I think for the people who have critique dont know what the movie is about and I was one of those people especially after I watched 2.. I did research on the story and understand completely what it's about which makes both 1 and 2 automatically bona fide masterpieces I'd even argue 1 is very very underrated. The first time I was really waiting for sequels is the lord of the rings trilogy. Than came Nolan's batman trilogy that made me hooked and now it's Dune and I'm pretty convinced Denis isn't going to disappoint he's a too good director for that.. Perfection!! I'm kind of hooked on the subject matter of dune with false prophecies and the fall of good people becoming villains.

[@youngnox2]

Great review guys! 👍🏾

[@thefilmjump]

Thank you!

[@nickhtk6285]

Cant wait to see it. Denis' BR 2049 became my number one film and I hear this is on the same level.

[@thefilmjump]

One of us (Jesse) is a much bigger fan of BR 2049 than the other. But both of us agree that this film is better. Kind of apples and oranges, but Part Two, especially when coupled with Part One, provides a much more satisfying and epic experience. You will not be disappointed

[@theutilitymonster2615]

B4 2049 is one of my favourite movies of all time, and I think Dune pt 2 blows it out of the water.

[@1984-i1w]

great vid gentlemen

[@thefilmjump]

Thank you!

[@a.t.c.3862]

Will be watching it at the weekend - but I'm worried that the humor and the action artificially panders to male teenagers.

[@thefilmjump]

No it feels very natural. There’s no pandering here. The humor is sort of funny to the audience and not so much the characters themselves

its kinda boring

[@thefilmjump]

This is a common criticism with some of Denis’ films. And while we obviously don’t agree, we appreciate the comment. Do you find the action scenes boring or just the whole film in general?
