Manuel São Bento · 10/10As anticipated, a thrilling watch! I enjoyed <em>'Dune'</em>, though remember thinking it was obviously a complete set-up to a sequel and that this would only improve upon its predecessor - and that's very much the case. <em>'Dune: Part Two'</em> is excellent! My interest did wan…
r96sk · 9/10This is certainly a great looking film to see on a big screen with some really effective, almost industrially sounding, audio - but what happened to the story? It's wafer thin and really stretched out for 2¾ hours. We pick up with "Paul" (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother (Rebecc…
CinemaSerf · 7/10Great but a little long. Sexier than LotR and no hair. Yell acting. Jabba bathes in black goo and kills women horribly. Walken is hilarious. Zendaya still an addict. Bridges is a bit self-serious. Amazing visuals. Really enjoyed...was glad and a bit bored by the end. Shorter Dune…
Chandler Danier · 9/10Saw it on the bigger screen, which was worth it. The worms were quite large. The movie has a great way of passing across the grand scale of the world in a way that michael bay can never understand how to do with his robots movies. It did stretch on quite a bit, looking back not e…
justhappytobehere · 8/10I had to watch Dune part 1 because if I didn't, I would not have known what to expect in Dune part 2. The movie was incredible. To see it on the big screen really makes a difference. You need to see every angle possible. I understand why it needed to be that way. I loved the movi…
Roberta1970 · 8/10**Not bad** Overall, a nice movie. But it was not something extraordinary. The acting and direction were pretty average. There were a lot of editing mistakes. In some scenes, you feel like it was rushed. Some scenes feel like they are missing context. Some scenes are unnecessaril…
dumasori · 7/10I remember the first film, no not the first in this contemporary series but the first attempt to bring the books, to cinema. In terms of contextual cohesiveness and pacing I feel it did a better job, than its latter day counterpart. I believe with this effort they are going for s…
MovieGuys · 7/10First of all, it just got dark when paul called out chani's rival princess :)) Funny though! The blue thing that they called they called WATER OF LIFE is just so mysterious,,it literally controls them i suppose! I literally enjoyed that part when chani slapped paul after being co…
m_u_m_u · 9/10As a big sci-fi/fantasy fan, I generally look forward to seeing new releases in this genre. However, when the first part of this story was released in 2021, I was sorely disappointed by this tedious, overlong slog that, despite its stunning visuals and cinematography, never reall…
Brent Marchant · 2/10This is the greatest Science Fiction film ever made. Followed by part one.
TheSceneSnobs · 10/10This is one of the few movies I've seen where I don't sit down later and start picking it apart. I can't say it's flawless. But whatever flaws it has simply fade into oblivion.
HappyPagan · 10/10#MovieReview #DunePart2 #DuneMovie "Dune" is a franchise that demands prior knowledge of the backstory and characters from either the book series or previous adaptations to fully appreciate the intricate narrative. While the film is long and dialogue-heavy, it manages to deliver…
tmdb51616167 · 8/10What have they done to the story. The boom was actually really well constructed and the characters grew on you. This movie seems to blend random significant parts of the books in an attempt to create an original story, and It's not working out in their favour. A lot of character'…
As I said before, the first part was just a prologue to a big something in the making and here we go! This is a well-crafted movie. 👌 **It goes without saying that the narrative is intersecting with a lot of islamic beliefs in a suspicious way; Lisan Al-Gaib, Muad’Dib, Mahdi, Fe…
Muhammad_Algabrouny · 4/10**Pretty much a waste - it's pop-garbage.** Do yourself a favor and go watch the Dune mini series from 2000 and then the Children of dune mini series from 2003. More story, more substance. Unless you are concerned primarily with visuals of course, which is all this movie wins in.…

@puppetfriends_2012 · 1622 likesThey pulled lines directly from the book, specifically Stilgar saying to Paul, "keep it simple, nothing fancy. We know you are brave." Im so pumped, Denis is a true fan of this world/lore.

@JonSudano · 28692 likesDenis Villeneuve is literally the saviour of the sci fi genre in cinema. Arrival, Blade Runner, Dune. As a sci fi lover i'm so glad an amazing director like him has such a passion for this genre.
@benjaminbrown7042 · 8620 likesSomething that I don't think people recognize is truly terrifying about the final shot of every Fremen saluting Paul: Fremen culture dictates that once a crysknife is unsheathed, it *cannot* be sheathed again before drawing blood. Every person in that horde has vowed to spill Har…
@chrisapfelbach3438 · 5504 likesMy favorite part was when Paul shouts “silence” at the Reverend Mother and she flinches and staggers backwards 👌🏽
