Dune Part Two Destroys Modern Hollywood (Review)

Dune Part 2 starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya recently opened to great reviews, and after watching Dune Part 2 myself I can see why. In this review of Dune Part 2 I go over what makes this movie so great, as well as how Dune part 2 in a way is everything modern Hollywood hates, and I personally think Dune part 2 may have just saved Hollywood as a whole, which has been struggling lately.

When I was reading the book, my sister said it was “a lot of people all trying their best and failing”. I really think that’s why it makes it such a compelling story. You see how much effort everyone is giving

It was "captivating", I haven't physically felt my heart pump in a film like that forever. When the credits rolled, people in the IMAX were stunned in silent appreciation of the complex and well defined story they had just seen. I don't remember a better composed film in the past 10 years. The last thing I saw in the cinema that left me as transfixed was when one didn't notice that Wolverines daughter hadn't spoken in about 20 minutes in Logan. Dune Part 2 was a tour de force.

He made the transition from boy to war leader better then I have seen in any other movie.

I’ve never got more chills watching a movie than I did during this one. It was actually kinda weird, like watching a horror movie but it wasn’t.

I forget that there are younger people that have been subjected to CGI pumped superhero films for so long that many haven't seen a great new well crafted story come out in the cinema. We use to see this stuff way more often, but it has fallen so far that one being released now is like a shining ray of light. I still remember going to The Matrix and LOTR and just being blown away like this back in the day. Hopefully people take note.

Not to take anything away from the actors... but when everyone is good, much credit should go to the director, the editor(s) and the writer(s).

[jaegerbomb]

Hollywood hates it? I'm sold on watching it.

CGI is supposed to allow the filming of a movie that otherwise would have been impossible, but by no means it´s a replacement for a good story (or a great story in this case) It´s purpuse is to enhance the story and allow the visions of the director, set designers, etc to come forth. It seems to me that many, if not all blockbusters, use CGI as and end in itself, blow as many things as you can idea, and the results are obvious.

This is real cinema gold and why people need to go to the movies. Denis doesn't compromise and stays true to the source material whilst putting every effort in astonishing acting, visuals, music & storytelling. This is why I fell in love with movies.

Now that Everything Everywhere All at Once has broken that barrier that had forever kept sci-fi from the academy award for best picture it would be nice to see Dune 2 ride an army of sandworms through the ruins of that barrier next year.

I was reading Arthur C Clark and Isaac Asimov novels pretty much as soon as I hit my teens and have been addicted to sci-fi since. I read Dune when it was published, and it joined 'Foundation' in blowing my young mind. Way back then, the very idea that these series could actually be portrayed on screen was a wild fantasy. The last few years have seen those fantasies become reality way beyond anything I could have hoped for. When you consider that 'Foundation' was written over 80 years ago, and 'Dune' almost 60... you might begin to appreciate the extraordinary scope and vision of the true 'Golden Age' of Sci-Fi. I'm by no stretch religious... but I thank the Sky Lords for bringing the impossible to life before I pop my clogs

I remember Dave Bautista getting flak for voicing out his desire to play a more artistic role. He had the desire to do better things. The masses seem to have disliked the idea. Looks like he got his wish. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

I saw it last night. There were many scenes that were spine tingling. Like someone else here said, it was almost like a horror movie in parts but it was the horror of knowing the inevitably of what Paul would become. Timothee Chalmette was outstanding and Zendaya was perfect. She was totally believable in the role of a Feydakin warrior.

[barbiquearea]

If this movie isn't with this year's Oscars. You know there must be fowl play involved.

[markmunroe-hzrf]

I've read Dune by Frank Herbert and it was a space opera epic.
Now wonder it was an inspiration for the original Star Wars Trilogy.

I hope to read Dune Messiah and I hope it is adapted.

[juancabardo]

I was also too young to see Empire and LOTR in the cinemas, so having such an awesome fantasy/sci-fi trilogy for this generation to call their own was great

[megan]

I really appreciated that this movie didn’t have any unnecessary sex scenes or nudity just sprinkled in for a wow factor like most movies in Hollywood. Even with Feyd Rautha, who we learn during the film is a psycho sexual weirdo who’s into torture and pain for pleasure, in the common trash movies we’re accustomed to from Hollywood these days they would have had a whole scene showing us him torturing and sexually abusing other characters but in this film it allows us to fill in the blanks and just imagine the horrors he could have committed based on the fear we’ve built of this character from seeing him in other scenes. This way the story stays on script to tell and show us what is actually important to know.

I already loved Dave Bautista's acting in Blade Runner 2049 and was pleasantly surprised to see him again in Dune Part I and II

Just came back from premiere in Czech Rep.. you could hear a hair drop on a floor, that´s how deep the atmosphere was, everybody was fascinated by what saw a heard ( the music and sound design is perfect ). Nobody even dared to try chew some fucking popcorn or anything... so powerful

[Rystrocity]

I Love Dave Bautista and am hopeful to see him in more roles that give him the spotlight as well
