It’s funny that movies that try so hard to appeal to the widest possible audience end up appealing to very few, whereas movies that just focus on the story, score, cinematics and excellent performances (even if they require some effort to follow) have amazing popularity and appeal. Sometimes I think Hollywood doesn’t know WTF they’re on about “appealing to a wide audience”. 🤦‍♂️

Random story but I graduated two years back and I got really sick literally on graduation day, so I couldn't go to any of the parties my friends were going to. There I was being sad and lonely on my couch and on a whim I decided to watch a movie, that's the first time I watched Dune and it's literally become a comfort movie for me. What I love most about movies are the personal connections we form with them, so needless to say I'm so excited for this movie and I can't wait to see a Dune movie in the actual cinemas.

I’ve been watching all of Denis Villeneuve’s movies over the last two weeks, and if I love Dune: Part Two as much as I hope I do, Villeneuve will have made six rock solid to phenomenal films in a row. That’s awesome. If the box office for his films match the quality of his films at some point, Villeneuve could be right alongside Nolan as storytellers who consistently deliver fantastic films.

[@NinthShinigami]

Prisoners is probably my favorite of his films. Maybe Part II will work some kinda miracle and surpass even that for me 🤔

[@MichaelTomsyck]

@@NinthShinigami Have you seen Blade Runner 2049? If you haven’t, I highly recommend the film. It’s certainly a slower film, but after watching it for the fifth time yesterday, it affirmed how incredible it is. Even if you’ve seen the original Blade Runner and didn’t care much for it, I would still recommend 2049. Even though it’s extremely likely that I’ll love Dune: Part Two, I wouldn’t be surprised if 2049 comes out on top of my Villeneuve ranking.

[@NinthShinigami]

@@MichaelTomsyck I know I have, but it’s been too long. Wouldn’t hurt for me to start revisiting some of his films if Sean maybe does do a Villeneuve ranking. Tho, I remember not being the biggest fan of Blade Runner in general. Great film. Just not something that called to me the way some other films do. But, given my recent rewatches of the Apes trilogy, Dune, and even Interstellar and some other films I was previously much lower on, who’s to say Blade Runner won’t probably hit harder for me now 😂

There are movies, and then there are EXPERIENCES. IN MY LIFETIME, HERE ARE MY 'EXPERIENCES'. 1. JURASSIC PARK 2. THE MATRIX 3. INCEPTION 4. THE DARK KNIGHT 5. EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE. 6. DUNE PART 1 7. DUNE PART 2.

Yes!! And Interstellar, Godzilla minus one, Spider man no way home, Endgame and Infinity War are experiences as well in my opinion, and spider man into the spider verse and across the spider verse too

So hyped for this one. I know a few weeks back I said I wasn’t a big fan of Part I, not nearly as much as others. However, part of me decided to give it another rewatch. I came out long it even more. So much so, I gave it another rewatch right after! That rarely happens for me! Part I is sitting at an 8.5/10 for me right now, and I’m very much excited for Part II now! It jumped up to my most anticipated movie of the year even over My Hero Academia’s next movie, and I love My Hero way more than Dune! Really looking forward to this one Friday!

[@NinthShinigami]

Meant to say came out liking it even more 😅

Dune is easily the thing to look forward to most all 2024 besides just movies

@@mugen9147 I can see where some would feel that way, but as much as I’m looking forward to it, I’m actually more looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth which is also in two days lol, and Bleach TYBW Part 3, which is actually the thing I’m most excited for this year. Dune Part II would be among the list for me tho…

Irulan, and Shadam are pretty minor characters in the book. Nearly all the major events of this movie occur in the final 2 chapters too. It's ends quickly in the book too.

[@HarCoolReviews]

I haven’t been this excited for a film in a LONG time… I can’t wait!

[@remyazharyyosef1811]

I started off my Dune journey watching the 1984 Lynch's version then read the book. I'm not a Dune purist or an expert for that matter but Dune is unlike any typical (or for the lack of a better word, "mindless") sci-fi, in that, it's a far deeper concept than that. And the brilliance of Dune is that it a thinking man's sci-fi. Or as Frank Herbert himself would call it a "philosophical fiction". And that's what Dune is.

[@aryanomsharma07]

Did you get the Dune popcorn bucket?

[@SeanChandlerTalksAbout]

The press screening was at an indie theater 😩

[@sonny5068]

Seeing this in full imax blew my face off. Absolutely incredible theatrical experience

[@plebausaurusrex]

My exact nit pic with the movie was the ending being so quick and done, but my friend who has read the books says thats how it happens. Its a massacre, so its basically perfectly adapted from the source material!

Sean did you get the Dune popcorn bucket when you went?

[@adamphillips882]

I havent seen the movie yet but in the books the emperor was really only in 1 scene prior to the last 30 pages and Irulun really isnt in it except explaing who she is as she plays a major part in dune messiah once they make this a trilogy

Just watched it today, finally. Never had the time to prior, and it was great! Chills almost throughout the movie, that was incredible.

[@thebendu33]

The scenes on the Harkonnen planet are in infrared black and white. Thats why it look so singular

[@jadedspades]

I loved yhe book and the films. Almost all of your positives are thanks to author Frank Herbert. He clearly created this world. I saw this Sunday and I could see that Denis' passion for the book and he succeeded in including Herbert's incredibly detailed story. Believe it or not, the film didnt even include everything from the book. This was a huge accomplishment, no doubt.

[@cosmoznaut]

I have read the book, but still the movie makes it more fascinating.

[@TheOneWhoLaughs101]

Amazing movie, lovedoved it 9/10 ...But not gonna lie, I was kinda pissed that they completely breezed past the final battle that the trailers had been bigging up for sometime. Denis is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time but he must not long a good lengthy action scene, once his action scene starts its over in no time or it just cuts and breezes past it when its getting exciting. Usually I don't mind when the filmmaking is this good but this battle had been highly anticipated and hyped up.

[@Rabidraccoon27]

Solidified Denis as one of my favorite directiors of all time

[@chelsey1087]

Great review! I agree with everything. Some things are rushed, it should have had another 2 hours. (And I watched it in a maraton showing, both parts one after the other)

[@joshmyoutube]

Such an enjoyment to see in theaters. Also a fresh take since I haven’t read the books or seen the 84’ dune movie. Acting and action were top tier and story was an enjoyable watch from start to finish.

[@Slicedude2004]

I really enjoyed the first one but I have a feeling I'm going to LOVE this one!

[@Dats_Mark]

As a heads up, after the 1st book... the sequels get SUPER weird and trippy. It'd be difficult to make appealing to general audiences like these 2 films did for the 1st one. If anyone could do it the this director might be able to, but its a steep uphill battle.

I saw part 1 for the first time a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it, will definitely have to rewatch both it and part 2 for more accurate readings but I enjoyed both though I wonder how people who read the book feel about it?

[@minchin6924]

as someone who’s read the books, Paul is by no means a hero, if anything id argue he’s the main villain of the series, which should be fully shown if they make part 3

[@jayjth]

I mean, ultimately Paul and Leto 2 steered humanity away from inevitable extinction. The "greater good" I think a very big part of the books was a study of morality

[@ChristianKrogh-Denmark]

I saw the movie in IMAX for the 2’nd time last night: Part 2 eats Part 1 for breakfast! It’s not even a close race, as far as I’m concerned. But make no mistake, I really dig Part 1, and Part 2 only elevates it. It’s all one big movie now! :-) Part 2 is just a way more satisfying film on every level. I’m not even a big sci-fi nut, but THIS one melted my face off, and OBLITERATED my fucking brain!! 🤯 And the significant part is, that this sequel is also much more appealing to those whom might not be the biggest fans of Sci-fi to begin with. We had three lady-friends with us last night, whom only kinda liked the first but LOVES this 2’nd film! Part 2 speaks MUCH better to a wider audience than Part 1 did. This one has way more exhilarating grand action. It’s better paced, it’s got HUMOR, it’s EASILY way more exciting, way more intense, and it also has an EMOTIONAL core that was lacking in Part 1. All around it’s just better. The entire team stepped up their game in massive ways, within this sequel. Dune: Part Two will be THE sci-fi flick to beat, for the next coming 15-20 years, and it’ll win BEST PICTURE Next year 🥳👍

Watched the Dune 1984 Alternative Edition Redux again yesterday and YES it is technically not as perfect as the new Dune movie but has better music and better actors and much more magic and mysticism than the new sterile movie. Despite all the bombastic efforts, the new movie doesn't grab me! It's just pure Hollywood digital cinema that lacks the essential flair. I absolutely cannot understand why this remake has produced so many enthusiasts. Everything left me quite cold and many actors are absolutely disappointing for me. All the mental explanations won't change the fact that this remake simply lacks that certain extra something and spice❗

I really enjoyed your review. One of the best I have seen on KZbin. One small disagreement is when you said, "black and white is not interesting". There are examples of the use of black and white in film that work very well, and it creates such great contrasts in lighting and shadows. Your statement almost reminded me of when my kids were younger and when something came on that was black and white, they'd say they didn't like it. And yet, as they grew older and are now in their 30's they like the effect.
