Can we talk about how satisfying it was when Paul “screamed” right back at the emperor’s mother reverend at the end of the movie? I’ll never forget how good that felt

[erikdanielsn]

The black and white gladiator arena sequence on Giedi Prime alone was worthy of 5 stars

[halflucan]

People rarely, cheer, laugh or clap at movies in England but when Stilgar goes "The mahdi is too humble to admit he's the mahdi" that did get a laugh

My mom hates Star Wars, sci-fi, and fantasy overall. She watched part 1 a few days ago and saw part 2 with me in theatres--she loved it. She loved the story, the implications, the feeling, and the character-building. I was worried she would walk out at some point, but she stayed until the end credits with me and talked about it for hours afterward. This franchise is really special.

What's in the popcorn bucket?
Pain.

[parveenakhter]

Dune 2 is cinema, I wanted to shed tears after watching this movie. Science fiction has reached pinnacle

[ToastyAvocado]

Stilgar is the most tragic character to me. Even in the book there is a good line where Paul realised that Stilgar was no longer a friend, but a follower. The later books really show the damage the Atreides do to the Fremen

[ieatgremlins]

I saw DUNE 2 on Sunday and I have been relentlessly watching Dune content ever since. This film truly has awaken my passion for this world.

[Dingalsodong]

It is so epic, that Paul kills Feyd-Rautha in a similar way, that Gurney showed him in the training sequence from the first movie.

[MrCharly]

I think the book explains it that it wouldnt matter if he lost or won. The damage was done, he created a messiah for the fremen and the holy war was innevitable at that point.

[Spacklatard]

22:37 Brian: I'm not the Messiah!
Arthur: I say you are, Lord, and I should know, I've followed a few!
Crowd: Hail, Messiah!
Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen?! I'm not the Messiah, do you understand?! Honestly!
Woman: [pauses] Only the true Messiah denies his divinity!

[MaMvidS]

Love the moment Paul reunites with Gurney Halleck, and says "I recognize your footsteps, old man." Referencing the end of Paul's vision when he first inhales the spice in the first movie. That forethought writing is rarely achieved in franchises.

[Cameleonbates]

I loved how Paul did a mixture of the Atreides salute and the Fremen "may thy knife chip and shatter" as he began to fight Feyd.

[MauricioPlaza]

The gini prime scenes in black and white there were filmed in infrared, which is crazy since Denis said that there’s no color version of this.

[kevinumber]

POWER. The 3 atomics then the sandworms.. jaw dropping. Then when Paul storms into the emperor's with complete power is so visceral

[ShadowDuskSky]

A lot of small things from part 1 paid off in this movie in satisfying ways. For example, in part 1 it’s mentioned to the duke that the airfield is one of arakreen’s two weak points. Paul using this information to ambush the emperor at the airfield in dune part 2 was satisfying having seen the first movie just prior

[_NoDrinkTheBleach]

There was some applause at the IMAX screening I attended, but the conversation in the hallway afterwards was extremely positive. This is definitely the kind of movie that people will go see multiple times.

[Trlababalane]

They should have mentioned Chani being Liet Kynes' daugter, because teal ribbon she wears is sign of mourning. And when she puts it back on in the end, she's mournig loss of Paul she knew. It was a great moment that you wold probably miss if you didn't know her parentage, or rhe significance of the ribbon from the book.

[neOfNne]

I'm glad this movie doesn't have to go against Oppenheimer in this year's Oscars. Not because I'd want one to win over the other but because they're truly two of the greatest films of recent years, or ever, and both really do deserve to have their own time to shine at the Oscars.

[reidatherton]

Yes it's good to see a review by someone who gets the point: people are trapped by many ways into acting very predictably and following someone else's script. The entire book series is about an existentialist rejection of that mode of living. In the series people are continually forced into living creatively and intentionally in order to prevail. In the final books even the Bene Gesserit need to reconsider who they are.
