Good ass movie. Watch it at the biggest screen possible. Saw it in IMAX (liemax whatevs) and it was so sick. The pacing felt a little rushed but they really jammed a lot into that 2 hours and 46 minutes.

Surprise favorites here were Bautista and Javier Bardem.

Stilgar was such a bro. lol

I worked a weird super early shift today so stopped working at 10. It was so awesome going and watching a movie at 11 with like no one else in the theater.

Does part 2 finish it?
If it does, do you think they are gonna make a movie based on the next book?

I thought the first one was just okay.

Is this one better or more of the same?

Both great but I did like the first more. I saw 1 last night and 2 today so I had a decent comparison.

Speaking as a non book reader.

I will say, did anyone else have trouble with casting Christopher Walken as the emperor? Great casting all around but I just could not buy into that role. Im ruined from all his comedy roles.

Yeah, kind of took me out of it as well. He's definitely one of those people now that just plays themselves, which can work for a lot of things, but didn't quite land for me in this one.

Dude that played Fayd was legit though. And Batista running around saying RATS! every 5 mintues was great too. lol

i love how they set up that Feyth-Rauda dude as the big baddie of the movie only for Paul Atreides to kill him in combat near the end. lol

great fight sequence tho. and great movie overall!

i know everyone else already said it but fuck it, i'll say it too: its definitely better than the first!

He's done a lot of serious stuff though. It's like Leslie Nielsen, who did some early serious stuff, then did nothing but comedies for the rest of his career. Play to where your strengths are I guess

"Your mother's warned you about me" or whatever got a solid chuckle out of me lol

I also likes it more than the first but I think part 1 was paced better. This one is visually on a whole different level tho. Also for us book readers I think the ending was a little unnecessary. Like I get what they were trying to do but I think they could have ended it more concise.

Also, I think Yueh was the worst written character in the two movies. They really glossed over him and his return in part 2 felt hollow.

I guess not many ever read the book because...there's kind of a lot of changes...Jessica was suppose to give birth to her child already, and Paul was suppose to HAVE a child that got killed...hence pushing him to go full holy war.

And, the whole thing with the family's declaring war did not happen either he just became Emperor.

On top of that...the ending is...completely changed. This whole thing with Chani going on her own...are they...are they going to have her fight against Paul?

She kept saying how its only a real freedom when her own pepole fight for it...they are not going to recon the whole series just to make Chani the true hero are they? That...that would be...a rather massive change to say the least.

I give this an 8/10, improvement over the first

Attention to detail is like unmatched in terms of visuals and worldbuilding

The harkenans (I didnt spell this right) kind of went out soft.

Batista reminded me of the wrestler heel run....but jobbed

The first worm ride was intense to watch

Austin butler was awesome

The original Dune film and the TV series have better endings.

Haven't seen par 2, but when I watched part 1 it felt weird.
It looked epic, but I had no fucking clue what was going on.

As in it's probably a 9 or even 10/10 movie for people who read the books, but for everyone else it's kind of...pointless if I dare to say?

liked what they did. I think it sets book 2 well. The major thing was they made book 1 happen within 9 months instead of ...at least 3 years. I think in the movie Paul had Stilgar and Chani more guiding him but book Paul used his mentat ways and jessicas training to survive the desert. Like chani said this is the fremen ways was good but i thought Book Paul used the best of both worlds tbh.

great movie. Worth the wait.

The second one starts where 1st ends. So youre gonna be at the middle of the story with a bunch of characters. part 1 sets part 2 up alot. You get the background, story, and the characters. Could you watch the 2nd movie without the 1st movie? Itll be like watching harry potter 2 without watching harry potter 1.

Looking at it a certain way, Leto II IS a hero as he set humanity on the path to save itself...but his methods in achieving that goal were absolutely horrendous.

Paul is absolutely not a good guy, yeah. In the book he at least realizes that he's become the bad guy, but he still does so many bad things.

I kinda thought the point of Dune and especially Paul's story is that on a universal/galactic scale, it is impossible to be a ruler and be a fair and just ruler to everyone. Too many people, too many ideologies, too many opposing forces to try to placate. When you can see into the future you are already bound by fate.

I didn't mind Alia was changed, and I actually appreciated the Chani changes at the end. I don't think it's going to affect the next book adaptation as much as people are worried about. Remember Paul said he's seen the future and Chani coming around.

I do wish they had left Leto II in and made the time skip a little longer. I thought it was important in pushing Paul to leading the Fremen to attack.

This probably the best made movie Ive seen in terms of production, acting, talent, attention to detail and keeping a consistent universe.

It isn't always fun to watch but on a technical level, shooting, cinematography, audio, themes it balances, ambition. Not everything hits for me and it isnt close to one of my favorite movies but I love the swings that it took

I don't think losing little Leto was much of a motivator, he had already drank the water of life at that point. Pretty sure the holy war was already happening anyway.
