This is the most overrated movie I have ever seen. It is not a terrible movie but people giving this 9's and 10's must be in love with the smell of Timothee Chalamets farts. Some of the dialogue in this movie is laughably bad which is a shame because the cast is extremely strong and capable. There were pacing issues throughout the movie - the fight at the end seemed like it just kinda happened with no build up. There was no tension or payoff to…

>*"Lead them to paradise."* So epic! A proper sequel to the masterpiece that is the first one, ***Dune: Part Two*** is everything I wanted and more. The scale and the stakes are much bigger. It really benefits from the world-building and character roots previously established in the first and makes everything bloom. The themes (and at times criticisms) on religion and politics felt so refreshing for a sci-fi movie. It's pretty thought-provoking…

The first part was a bit boring, overly focused on the Fremen world and how Paul and his mother were welcomed into the desert people. In the second part however, the pace was excessively hasty, at several moments you have the feeling that someone has pressed the fast forward button, and you find yourself out of breath at the end of the film. A real shame, because Dune part one was an authentic narrative masterpiece, and personally I had high…

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! Like I said...this is the best science fiction movie I've ever watched. Watched it a few hours ago and I still can't get my mind off of how beautifully crafted this movie is, it's not your regular science fiction movie, it does not resonate with everyone. But Dune part 2 has just reinvented the science fiction genre to a place where you never would've thought. Denis Villeneuve is the best working director in the…

It's like Schindler's List, everyone will tell you how great it is, but who wants to watch it more than once.

The standard for what constitutes a quality movie has plummetted so badly in recent years. Dune 2 is another example. Yet another movie that focuses on psychosis, pornographic violence, and very little else. The chemistry between Zendaya and Timothee is nonexistent, not that it matters because their relationship, as is in most cases with superficial films that inject a love story, is as inauthentic and if anything adds to the lack of substance…

Going against concensus here and giving it just 5. Firstly, the movie weas overly long . The first haIf in particular, focussing on the relationship between the leads, was boring. I feel Zendaya brings nothing to the role; her Chani is quite unlikeable and, as someone has mentioned, lacks any chemistry with the lead. I found the cinematography uninspiring., there were very few shots that showed any stunning scenery at all, despite the…

Much as Avatar took story elements from Dune, Dune takes the questionable box office success of Avatar. Along with that will come those blindly calling this "the greatest movie ever made" vaguely recalling it a decade from now.
