I can't remember the last time I walked out of a theater and there were literally crowds of people standing around just discussing the movie they just saw. So freaking satisfying

As a french canadian, I think it is pretty much impossible to spell his last name correctly in english haha you did the best review I have seen on this platform, outstanding work Adam !

The book came out in 1965 so you could say it came out slightly before Game of Thrones.

The Lord of the Rings is the seminal work that laid the groundwork for the future of Fantasy and Dune is considered the counterpart work that laid the groundwork for what would become science fiction.

I’m not a big Sci-Fi nut, but THIS movie melted my face off and OBLITERATED my fucking brain!!! This is a phenomenal film, one that’ll be talked about for decades to come, comparing it to other sci-fi flicks in the future. The bar has been raised in massive ways! Insanely gripping and beautiful. 9.5 out of 10 for me!

I saw an early preview last Sunday in IMAX……Loved it! Seeing it again tonight. I am a Dune fan, but it was better than I could even imagine. When I saw the initial reviews I thought it was getting overhyped and I was worried I’d be disappointed. That was not the case. This type of movie gives me hopes that the epic movie theater experience can bounce back. It felt good feeling blown away after seeing a movie. I haven’t felt that way in a long, long time. Good review Adam.

Seeing this at the IMAX this Sunday. I'm fuckin' HYPED!

I see it Sunday so I had to watch the review on mute to get you the view and like. In a media blackout on the movie so I get the all natural experience I am so excited for this movie. Thanks Adam!

A lot of times, an awe inspiring action scene will make me grin ear to ear and this movie was so good, I was doing that while I was just looking at an actor’s face. A little long in the middle but fucking epic.

Funny you answered my exact question I had coming into this review. I was one of those in the minority that didn’t really enjoy the first one, I went in with high expectations hearing all of the praise it was getting. I thought it was beautifully shot, just didn’t fancy the pacing at all, and the story/action wasn’t resonating with me (watched it twice just to make sure). So I was curious if pt 2 would win me over. Still may give it a watch on demand but my expectation will be tempered this time. Glad the people who enjoy the book/franchise have something satisfying to experience though.

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!! YOU'RE THE ONLY youtuber who warned me about the SLOW PACE and TONS of dialogues part 2 was going to have... I thought part 2 would have a lot more action and less talking, a much more dynamic and interesting pacing, a LOT MORE ACTION this time around... GIVEN THAT THEY HAD us sit through all that EXPOSITION in part 1, I thought SURELY PART 2 will have LESS EXPOSITION and MORE action... NOPE :| For me even though everybody is singing the praises of dune part 2, I liked part 1 WAY MORE... and I can't deny the amazing visuals of part 2 and sound effects. Its definetly a watchable movie, but to be purely honest, I CARED ABOUT the characters WAY MORE in part 1 than I did in part 2...

Just saw it today in IMAX and it was a masterpiece

he is writing Dune Messiah so it will come as the final part imo

I get that they upped the Antee in this one but did they also up the uncle too?

Glad I watched. Haven’t watched the first one yet, but I’ll give it a watch after your review and, depending on how much I like it, will see part two afterwords. Thanks!

Sorry to sound a little negative. Yes it was good, but for me not as good as the first. A touch slow, but some of it was fantastic. Thanks for your take on it. I am being very fussy just now, still one of the best cinema experiences I've had in many months. Thanks again Adam. Looking forward to your spoilers review.

Pretty fair review, although I'm a little "meh" on it just like after I saw Part One in the theater. (I enjoyed that more on 2nd or 3rd watch at home.) I'm a big fan of the 1984 Lynch version and, as big and loud and bambastic and amazing as everything is in this new version, I still think the brevity of the first film led to better ingenuity. I don't know which one is more "like the book" (I imagine the newer one is), but Lynch made a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle choices that made everything a bit more cohesive (especially the spiritual elements). I was surprised by how pronounced the Bene Gesserit were in this version. And I also really enjoyed Rebecca Ferguson's expanded role and superb acting. Overall, I just thought that as big as it was, some of it felt "rushed"... although by no means is this a 'fast' movie. I had to take a look at my watch at 90 mins in (and it felt like I'd already been in the theater the entire afternoon). Lastly, if you liked RPX, you really need to see this in IMAX. It's entirely framed in the expanded vertical IMAX ratio, and I'm sure the sound system beats RPX.

Imax, Dolby, and RPX showings are packed, but standard showings are a ghost town. Week 2 will let us know if we get the 3rd movie

Me and my mother we saw Dune Part 2 Last Friday she said it was better than Part 1, I had a good time, I got some good laughs out of it. It was fantastic that we’re watching the 1984 one. Austin Butler is a menace as Feyd Rautha wooo loved his performance

Great review loved the first dune movie and the 1984 original as well 🎆😊

This was the best blockbuster in years.

I wanted to love these movies as much as everyone else seems to... having just got out of part two I can officially say, dune is not my thing. I preferred it to the first one, but I just ...don't understand the hype.

Watched it yesterday and i loved it!

Totally the same way with remembering the names, the movie made me consider reading the books, then I took into account I wouldn’t be able to pronounce any of the obscure sci fi names/lingo, so I’m out.

The whole movie looked like John Carter of Mars, and the book that movie is based on (A Princess of Mars) came out in 1912! Who inspired who?

The cast HURTS this movie. Since the characters are SOOOO thin you end up seeing the actors and NOT the characters.

It actually gets better each viewing and I'm at a 10/10 after 2 viewings.

These films represent both halves of the first book: Dune. Even the book ends in such a way that there could be so much more story to tell. There's a second book called Dune Messiah that Denis Villeneuve still plans to make which will (mostly) complete Paul's arc.

Better than Part 1 which was great as well!

Double the Dune!? 🎉🎉🎉

Every time I see the movie poster all I can think off is how constipated Chalamet must have been at that time

Zendaya and chosen one bits made it worse than the first one for me. But the rest is just Godly

I loved it

Loved it

I enjoyed it. I find Chalamet, Zendaya, and Puhn to be bland, but everything else is great. 4.5/5.

Seen the first one, wasn't too impressed, could this be great? absolutely i guess

Fremen. Man, you're bad with names.

Best Movie in many many years imho. Go See it on the big screen!

Dune story is amazing, especially considering that main character of the story is not even born yet

Movie was good, but people calling it a masterpiece....give me a break

If Denis Villeneuve follows the next entry of Dune Books the trilogy will end in tragedy.

Dune part2 was super awesome! To be honest, I don't like you being ignorant on purpose. (I also have a terrible memory, but it takes like 2 minutes to check if you don't remember.) Ignorance is not a virtue, and a man your age should not act nonchalant like this. The world already thinks Americans are ignorant and uncultured. Why reinforce this stupid cliche? You said you really liked it; it's one of the most important pillars of the sci-fi genre. You are making a review about it, but you can't be bothered to check the names of the second most important house, House Harkonnen, and a prime moover of politics in the universe, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood. I'm sorry for being quite harsh and pedantic, but I really like and respect you, and this bothers me. This attitude is beneath you. Thanks for the review Adam.

Ferman lol

It's not much of an adaptation of the book, and far looser than the first part. Not that the book was perfect, but neither is this movie, so not sure why so much of it was messed with. It's a good film in its own right, but a lot of the gushing praise is just too over the top.

Overrated. The people who think this film is a “masterpiece” are over selling this film. It’s funny: it appears to me that people like this film because if you are fortunate enough to watch this on an IMAX screen (bigger than most screens) with exceptional sound, the film is good - No. A film is good if you can watch it on an iPhone, let’s say an action movie, and it still excites you; a drama breaks-your-heart & makes you cry; and/or makes you think about what you watched, hours, after you finished the film. I’ve read all six books - one thru four twice - and the Dune story is not about action; which many people think this story is what makes it good. No. Because I’ve read the first book, twice, I know what’s missing & why this version of Dune is not a good representation of the story & plots of Dune. I like part 1 better. It’s closer to what I love about the book. And how lucky for, Denis, that he has the technology of CGI to bring a good looking film to the screen. It looks good - won’t deny that - Geidi Prime is my favorite section; after we leave that planet, I got bored. Honestly, the only actors who kept my attention was Charlotte Rampling & Lea Seydoux. Geidi Prime was the best part of the film. Butler kept my attention, while on the planet; on Arrakis, he didn’t. He became one note and boring. I like Chalamet & Zendaya. They gave what was needed. But as the movie bored me, so did the characters (and by extension… the actors). Adam. The way you can’t understand how people like “Barbarian,” and it makes your head explode (that you made two videos showing your dislike for the film) I’m here with my head 🤯🤯

Adam, while i absolutely loved the visuals, direction and action, id be remiss not to have a larger conversation around the 'white savior/messiah' trope. In all fairness, its the story of the book and its a good film. But, i cant help to think that we have so many 'neos' at this point, that its hard in 2024 to not ask, where is the Indian messiah? Where is the Asian messiah? Where is the Black messiah? While this theme is kind of explored in the movie, its a bit muddled as to whether it recognizes the propaganda or is a part of it. Id love a larger discussion/rant from you on the subject. Without making this a DEI thing, again it IS a good film. But, two things can be true. And in 2024, we simply have too much info at our fingertips to not unsee it.

*Spoilers* In the books Chani absolutely believed in Paul and was not skeptical. Also in the book it ends with Jessica reassuring Chani that Paul’s marriage to Irulan was purely political and history would call them Wives.

Overrated

Careful, you are sounding like the critical drinker

Looks boring 😂

Lame
