the whole movie I was thinking about how the fuck they park the worms. I can't even talk about what I thought without getting that question out there. how do they do it. I need to know.
things I liked:
• stilgar. amazing acting, funny yet dark character, interesting, every scene is great.
• pretty visuals and amazing sound. these movies are so good in cinemas, and im scared to rewatch them on streaming in case they aren't as good without the massive scale of the big screen and bass. but oh boy do these deserve to be seen and heard BIG AND LOUDLY
• the politics and religion stuff is always a banger
• im not one for action scenes but the fights in this actually had me (yes, me) in a chokehold. I usually yawn during sci Fi fight scenes but I was sat for these ones
things I didn't like:
• any scene with feyd-rautha (except for the final fight and also the scene with léa seydoux). I dont know if it's the acting or the writing or what but i just didn't believe he was a character or like, a person. he just didn't feel believable which took me out of the movie, he was so goofy compared to the others. also austin butler still sounds a bit elvis-y. he did not talk like that when he was a cutie in the carrie diaries!!!
• the chemistry between timothy chalamet and zendaya is so non-existent that the romance scenes are laughable
• florence pugh is in this movie to be boring. her character is just doing fuck all
• the embryo opening it's eyes during the liquid of life scene was 💀💀 bro idk what the fuck that was.
i liked it a lot !! !!!!!
This movie hits perfect scores on all the technical aspects, I can only think in terms of superlatives when trying to describe the looks, sounds, acting, soundtrack,... in this movie.
But on a personal level, it's not completely my cup of tea. It was a bit overwhelming and complex to follow at times. I think I'll enjoy Part One more knowing what it leads up to, I'll probably enjoy Part Two more now that I know where the movie is going and after the third movie, I might love this franchise.
But for now it's not something I could easily rewatch, and that's a shame because I really wanted to love this movie. On the other hand, I always think in terms of rewatchability and maybe I shouldn't do that.
But I'll end positive, I think it's a highly interesting world, the final 30 orso minutes were epic and even though I found the movie a bit slow at times, I was never bored.
The first one was great I thought, despite people labelling it slow, I found it interesting because of the introduction of the world and the characters. This one needed a little more pace. It drags for soo long. And the Bene Gesserit crap is getting irritating. The whole seeing the future is very dumb and gets in the way of engaging with the film. The prophecy/false prophecy discussion is interesting but again, it doesn't have any real weight on what's happening. The romance is kinda rushed. The visuals are top notch. But you can't rely on that to save you again. Also the Paul transition seemed to happen overnight with no buildup. Went south, drank poison bam I'm your leader now. In the end, you realize that not much really happened in the movie, no resolution of any kind. Felt like a two-and-a-half-hour episode with the next one probably coming 3 years later. 6.5/10
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 exclamations of the leads as they look over the dunes. The shots of huge audiences and masses of people were overdone, and looked like a cut and paste job. The special effects for the worms were minimal, with all efforts being focussed on blowing stuff up ... very tedious. On top of all that, they have left out / altered important elements of the story!! Was looking forward to this, but unfortunately, was very disappointed, Wish the TV mini-series had been given this one's budget!
Enfin Zendaya qui est montrée plus de 10 min à l’écran !!
Plus sérieusement, je connaissais un peu la trame qu’il allait se passer puisque j’ai vu le film de Lynch. Ainsi, le film me paraît lent et du coup ennuyant, mais si j’ignore ce point bah c’est cool. Le défaut de la lenteur devient un atout : le film prend son temps, il développe les personnages (surtout celui de Paul). De plus, le film introduit un nouvel antagoniste (le chauve là) un perso bien mieux réalisé comparé au film de 84.
Pour finir, la fin est vraiment cool : le combat final est bien et bien mieux travaillé que celle de Lynch
Like the Atreides family atomics, Dune: Part 2 just blasted every other 2024 film into oblivion. Believe your friends: it’s really that good.
It’s been a rough start to 2024 for theaters, with most movie releases ranging from middling to fine. That’s not totally uncommon for this time of year — “Dumptuary”, as it’s sometimes referred to, is usually a disposal ground for movie studios to drop off their projects that don’t have much going for them. But if there ever was a clear demarcation of the end of that time for 2024, it is Friday, March 1st.
A good literary adaptation hits all of the same story beats as its source material; a great literary adaptation steeps you in so deeply in the established world and lore that you can instantaneously imagine infinite stories in that universe. That’s what happens while watching Dune: Part Two: an astoundingly complex political conflict with a vast roster of players and allegiances sprawls across not just Arrakis but many star systems, while centuries of religious zealotry from the witch-like Bene Gesserit stokes massive unrest and ultimately a holy war. There’s a sense of indifference for the audience here — the hand-holding found in many a recent screenplay is nowhere to be found. Scenes often start and end in media res, leaving us to parse the amount of time that has passed and who is where, doing what; but, like a steam locomotive of old, it all has the feeling of something absolutely massive chugging rhythmically along, building momentum to a velocity that soon becomes impossible to halt. An almost three hour runtime slides by in what feels like 90 minutes; at ten minutes longer than Part One, it feels remarkably shorter.
After watching the first film at home on what was then called HBO Max (during the Great WB Dump of 2021), my opinion and my experience were both elevated and amplified when I had the opportunity to see a rerelease in a Dolby Theatre by AMC. Part Two is of the exact same nature, if not more so — the scale of things is so dynamically enormous that you can feel the movie begging to be experienced in the biggest, loudest, most bone-rattling theatre that you can find. You thought one sandworm was impressive? How about three? Were you amazed by the thousand-man battle in Part One? How about tens of thousands of men? Everything about this movie and the conflict it portrays takes what you may expect and exceeds it in scope. I can’t imagine what the next one holds.
The cast, many returning from the first film, have been impeccably placed in their roles. The only face that was, perhaps, a bit jarring, was Christopher Walken as the Emperor; but give him a moment to show who the Emperor really is, and it’s easy to move past. Of particular note were Javier Bardem, who gets much more time here to develop himself as the eager-to-believe Stilgar, and Austin Butler, who is almost unrecognizable as the sadistic Feyd-Rautha. Timothee Chalamet continues a career-defining performance as Paul, getting the opportunity to do more than brood this time around; anguish, empowerment, and even bloodlust all have their way with him.
It’s not clear how many installments Villenueve’s film series is going to eventually have, but what is exceedingly clear is that there is a vision and a plan for how it is all meant to pan out. Unlike other high-profile cinematic universes of late, the Dune films have a coherence and a binding relationship that holds these separate pieces together as a creative whole, much like Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. (You’re liable to find comparisons to The Empire Strikes Back abound as well.) Part Two picks up mere minutes after the events of Part One, and the strength in continuity creates a sensation that we never left, despite the three years in between these movies.
As for the next installment? I don’t care how long it takes (and in fact, I hope Villenueve takes his time like he has here); I’ll eagerly be awaiting our next return to Arrakis.
I haven't words for this.
Amazing, spectacular.
This director always like me so much but with this saga is my top one right now.
The cinematography, directing, visuals, soundtrack, and cast simplyly are amazing.
Waitting the third part that I think will be the most spectacular of the saga. I hope watching it very soon...
When Part Three?
