Fun fact: throughout the whole movie, Stilgar is played like a comic relief everytime he says Lisan Al Gaib, but the last time he says it, right before he enters the ship to fight the great houses is no longer funny, we don't laugh cause we know what it implies, he is no longer a believer, he's a fighter who believes, he is willing to give his live for his faith in the battlefield. And we know he'll probably die on it. The book even says it: paul says he won a great fighter but he lost a great friend.

The whole reason Paul didn’t want to go south was so he could avoid that ending you watched

It was the only way...the unavoidable narrow path. "To see the future is to be trapped by it" A universe of possibilities made an inescapable prison. No surprises or mysteries for him now...just inevitable consequences.

Fun fact: Austin Butler confirmed in an interview that his kiss with Stellan Skarsgård was completely improvised. When I found out about that, I was so shocked! 😳👏

14:54 "This guy is just ordering him around." In the book, his inner monologue reveals that he always planned on having Rabban replaced with Feyd-Rautha. He incited him to mindlessly and aggressively kill Fremen on purpose. He WANTED the Fremen to outwit him, so that he would fail, the populace would rally support for replacing him, the baron would "benevolently" fulfill their wishes, and the more skilled Feyd-Rautha would immediately gain political favor by cleaning up his mess.

Paul made Christopher Walkin into Christopher Kneelin

When Jessica takes the Water of Life, the Jessica we knew ended. She is now the first most voice in a cacophony of voices within her own head. They essentially placed the memories and personalities of hundreds of other women into her mind. I feel the same way about Paul after he drank the Water of Life. In the prior Dune adaptations, Paul seemed aloof but he still seemed like Paul. In this movie, Paul is no longer Paul. Like his mother he is now something else. Paul now has the memories and personalities of hundreds of men and women in his mind.

The marriage to the princess is necessary politics, not a deliberate betrayal to Chani.

Little bit of trivia Javier Bardem (Stilgar) and Josh Brolin (Gurney) actually costarred in No Country For Old Men. The academy award winner from years ago. They still got the chemistry even now.

Girls: "Why can't I find a good boyfriend"🥺 Also girls: "I kinda like Feyd Rautha"🥵

He is the chosen one not by chance, He was engineered through genetics. He was a project, the problem is that he couldn't be controled. Only he sees what is to come.

If he marries Chani, he can't marry the Princess, and therefore cannot legitimize his claim on the universe. He loves Chani, he wants to marry Chani, he does not love Irulan, he does not want to marry Irulan. But Paul can now see the "most optimal" path through the future. He *knows* that marrying Irulan saves potentially billions more lives than marrying Chani ever could or would.

The path ahead is not dark...It's Golden...and it's even more terrifying lol

Paul's story, is a story of tragedy, disaster and lies. It never had an happy ending. Frank Herbert's core message for Dune was to warn the audience of the perils of following charismatic leaders and religious fanaticism.

The overhead shot of Paul walking through the crowd is amazing.

Between "dont be jealous" and "They are wasting water" this is one of your funniest videos yet😂

I thought the scene of Lady Margot Fenring seducing Feyd-Rautha with the Voice was so well done. In the book, she only discusses her duty to do it as a Bene Gesserit with her husband Count Hasimir Fenring before and after the deed. Throughout the series of books, Bene Gesserit are touted to be able to seduce any man they choose without fail (proclivity or orientation does not matter) but seeing it depicted so well was impressive.

13:14 "You have strength. You shall be known as Usul, which is the strength of the base of the pillar. This is your secret name in our troop, but you must choose the name of manhood, which we will call you openly." "And what do you call the mouse shadow on the second moon?" "We call that one _Muad'Dib."_ "Could I be known as Paul-Muad'Dib?" "You are Paul-Muad'Dib. And your mother shall be a _sayyadina_ among us. We welcome you." _A Dream unfolds..._

5:52 I think the water of live is lethal to non Bene Gesserit trained people but Paul is the only male who is trained in their way, so he is way more likely to survive.

remember Jessica wasn't married to Leto, this is a world of political marriage. so taking the emperors daughter he secures his claim to the throne it has nothing to do with love

A small curiosity about the blue ribbon that Chani (Zendaya) wears: According to Villeneuve, the director, in the adaptation, the blue ribbon symbolizes the intense love that Chani feels for Paul. She is even seen wearing it during the confrontation with the emperor, which means she still believed in him. It is only at the end of the movie, when she separates from Paul, that she stops wearing it. In the novels, it has a different meaning: the blue ribbon is linked to the marital or post-maternity status of the Fremen women. In the books, three years pass before Paul decides to confront the Harkonnens and the emperor himself. During this time, his sister Alia is born, and Chani becomes pregnant, although she tragically loses the baby due to a Harkonnen attack (a plot omitted in the movie, like many others).

"This whole movie was about manipulation" Exactly. And the irony is that all the events and all the deaths which follow, in the long term, actually frees humanity from manipulation - from the Bene Gesserit, from messiahs and from the dependance on spice. That's what Paul could see. It is known as "the golden path", the only way to save the species from stagnation - at the cost of billions of deaths

Peak Cinema right here

16:46 "Usul has called a big one! Again, it is the legend!" Bi-la kaifa.

It has been deduced that Arrakis is about the size of the Moon, which makes sense that things like Sietch Tabr having such a wide area of control.

I had the absolute pleasure of watching Dune Part 2 in an IMAX theater. It was unlike any theater experience I've ever had before, and I will never forget it for as long as I live. However, because of that experience, I'm now very upset the home release of the film is widescreen and not fullscreen like it should be. Despite that though, I still can't wait to receive my 4K Blu-Ray copy. Also, I know you have your reasons for having only one ear piece in, but I beg you to watch the movie again on your own, but with both ears.

Yeaaah that’s exactly that, all about manipulation and using religious/messianic figures for power, that was a warning from Herbert. Paul isn’t the hero, neither a vilain (more an antihero). the story is like a Greek tragedy I was so pleased to find that this movie was so respectful of the Dune universe and the changes Villeneuve has done serve even better the message (for example Chani not being blindly following Paul)

26:23, the kiss is nothing compared to what the Baron did to Feyd in the books. The director has went out of his way to subtly let us know Baron Harkonnen is one sick puppy.

Paul realized that Fyed-Rautha was a better fighter than him so he intentionally got stabbed where he could pull the knife and surprise him. Fyed was knife-fighting while Paul was playing chess.

Dune part 2 is definitely a masterpiece, the best film of 2024, I hope that in 2025 Dune will receive even more Oscars and I hope that the actors will also receive it, especially Timothee Chalamet, he deserved an Oscar a long time ago, and he deserved it even more for the role of Paul. A talented actor, he played the role at the highest level, very well done I'm really looking forward to Dune part 3😊👻👍👍👍

Jessica didn't know she was a Harkonnen child because of the secretive breeding program of the Bene Gesserit, they often bear children of the seed of others not knowing where it comes from, carefully monitored by the Reverend mothers candidates are selected in order to produce more powerful Bene Gesserit as well as bringing them closer to the Kwisatz Haderach. Noone except some few and especially not the one bearing the child in question nor the children know whos bloodline it is. So, Harkonnens and Atreides both having been found to be strong candidates for bringing forth the one were secretly "cross bred" in order to increase the chances of the next generation, that's why the Bene Gesserit are so interested in Feyd Rautha and especially in securing that bloodline. Jessica simply took matters in her own hands, and, well maybe we'll see where that has led.

If Paul had not done what he did, the Fremen would of been crushed by the weight of the Emperor and all the armies of the Great House's. They survived for so long because they were only a nuisance and people didn't realize they lived in such large numbers. Paul's earlier successes leading them made people too aware of them. So it was either total victory or annihilation.

Dude picks up a lot of names during this: Paul Atreides, heir to both Houses Atreides and Harkonnen, Maud'Dib Usul, the Lisan Al Ghaib, the Mahdi, the Kwizatz Haderach.

Paul kept trying to stay away from the prophecy until the Harkonnens were turning the tide by mass bombing their hideouts. Paul decided to fulfil his destiny and marry the princess because he loves Chani; it was the only way to save her

22:09 just reinforces chicks go crazy for total dangerous and lethal psychopaths, literally every reaction from woman I've seen lmao

Rabban. The Beast Rabban. A muscle-minded tank-brain, Rabban. But the book by Herbert makes him more intelligent and shrewd than any of the film adaptations give him credit for.

Paul didn’t choose anything. As Chani said “the world chooses for us”. Paul knew the only way he could ever free the Fremen was to become emperor. The only way he could do that and have legitimacy, is by marrying the princess. The books are way different when it comes the Paul, Chani and the ending.

Stilgar and Gurney are absolute couple goals

40:50 I remember when i sae this in IMAX, when that worm appeared, the noise was loud as fuck.

This channel is amazing the amount of detail they paid attention to while also completely respecting the film. Top tier reaction.

The last 30 minutes of this movie are pure cinema perfection!

Just for your background: Villeneuve changed 2 main plot points compared to the book and did not do a significant time jump at the end which is in the book, too. However, he kept the unsteady pace of the book and the fast increasing density of the plot towards the end. A truly amazing adaption, but, Villeneuve will face writing issues for part 3. Also, keep in mind: In the book you learn almost nothing about the conspiracy against the Atreides. As the reader, you follow many internal monologues, but you only witness the intrigue from a certain perspective, deprived of many details. You only see the How and yiu get a superficial Why, blaming the Emperor and the Baron. But many details and certain key players of the conspiracy remain in the dark. Book 1 Dune and Book 2 Dune Messiah are very different pieces of literature. Dune Messiah is a weird, difficult read because it lacks a real 3-act- or 5-act-structure, and it dumps ***TONS*** of lore, background info, world building and explanations, new players, new centers of power, new conspiracies and even conspiracies within conspiracies on the reader. When i first read it I felt bulldozed by all the retrospect exposition and the unfolding complicated political plot against Paul, the Emperor of the Known Universe. It will be a mean, unthankful task for Villeneuve to adapt it as a screenplay. By the way, Paul ***is*** the Kwisatz Haderach. Some people in the comment section are clearly confused or only claim to heave read the book. After drinking the Water of Life, Paul can access all memories of both the females and the males of the interbred, crossed bloodline while the Bene Gesserit can only access the female branch. So, he is ***the*** mind that can cross space and time. His foresight is 99.99% perfect. Perfect. Almost ;-) Unforunately, in Dune Messiah, for Paul the harsh reality sets in step by step that his life's path was set in stone the moment he stepped on Arrakis. He first realized it in Dune after obtaining full precognition. With 1 exception: In Dune Messiah, there will be 1 true free choice in his life; he can choose between "door no. 1", taking a certain ACTION, and "door no. 2", taking a certain INACTION, but either choice comes with an insane emotional and personal weight to his mind and with mad repercussions for the Known Universe....no spoilers from me here about what and how Paul chooses in Dune Messiah, but when I read it - and of course, major explanations came a book later in Book 3 Children of Dune! - it felt like a hard punch to the stomach. I was not superhappy with that twist. Frank Herbert take on Paul was: There is no fate and no prophecy, it's all bullshit, made up, it's all human designs, just like religion, and one should always stay away from seemingly charismatic leaders with good intentions as they can lead into devastating chaos causing the most terrible things. Paul is such a case. He is a villain. Not malicious, yes, tragic, yes, but he is still a villain, not an anti-hero or some nonsense. His "take them to paradise" is going to unleash one of the worst sequences of mass murder and genocide in mankind's history - just as he had foreseen it and just as he could not stop it.

Emperor:"You're father was a weak man..." Magy: "no.."

8:17 He's not the Mahdi, and he's not the Lisan al-Gaib. He's Brian. 😂

Chani's blue scarf in Dune 2 symbolizes her love for Paul, reflecting their evolving relationship and her true feelings. Blue is worn when "Fremen women fall in love."

42:50 yeah 'just like that' Gurney Halleck is one of the greatest fighters known to man

22:50 The drug of which the Harkonnens speak is called elacca, from the off-world tree of the same name. Symptoms of elacca intoxication include a carrot colour to the skin, berserker rage, stumbling...they put up a decent fight but are easy to kill.

dune 2>>>>empire strikes back, but ppl aint ready for that convo

I enjoyed part 2 in the theater, but I found my enthusiasm dampened a little since I already knew the story. I look forward to part 3 which will be based on the book Dune Messiah and full of surprises for me. Good reaction, ladies, glad you liked it. 👍

Towards the end, you can see the emotions warring within Chani. Anger, sorrow, and most of all heartbreak. And yet she does not shed any tears. For she is Fedaykin, and her code of honor will not let her waste her body's water for tears, not even for love lost.

The path Paul took was the only way to liberate the Fremen from the opressors. He had no choice

Hopefully after Messiah Villeneuve can convey the 'ending' theme of the books. This is only the beginning

When I saw this in the theaters, there was a girl next to me that was crying at the end of it. I really did feel for Chani and after seeing you guys, I can confirm that she was really saddened about their tragic love story.

for me that movie was the movie of the decade loved every single scene ^^

61 billion people disliked Paul's social media account after this...

You guys have one of the best responses to this movie I've seen. You get it. It's troubling.

Best Picture of 2024

Even with all the times Paul said he could see all the possible futures, people still thought he would lose that fight... It went exactly as he predicted. He was stabbed because he needed to. Notice how he was smiling during that fight. No hint of fear. He was fully in control.

These two are great. They're on a planet with skyscraper sized worms and drugs in the sand, but Feyd kissing Vlad is where it's getting weird lol. Cheers all!

I love that you're watching the desert mouse Muad'dib with everyone's favourite electric mouse Pikachu 😂❤

3:19 "wittle baby" LOL

Magy, the actress who played Paul’s sister in his vision is *Anya Taylor-Joy* who will be playing a young *Furiosa* in the prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrB9qMuou9LHkWg.htmlsi=0c0CPV9I_WErLk0S

Paul exactly knew whats gonna happen if he decides to go South. That's why he never wanted to go South and told everybody that doesn't wanna go, especially Chani. He knew if he goes to South, their (his & Chani's) relationship will never be the same. THE PROPHECY! 👆

Laura's right, Part 3 is moving forward. It was a while ago, but I think I made it 4 or 5 books into the series. It gets pretty wild, so I can't wait to see what Villeneuve does with it. What a generational director he's turning out to be. Sicario, Prisoner, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Dune. Absolutely incredible.

25:47 "Jessica, you were told to bear only daughters to the Atreides. Jessica--!" "It meant so much to him." _"You_ thought only of a _Duke's desire for a son?!_ Desires don't come into this. An Atreides daughter could have been wed to a Harkonnen heir and sealed the breach! _We may lose both bloodlines now._ My greatest student. And my greatest... disappointment."

I used to not like Austin Butler at all as an actor, but after Dune part 2 I really liked the actor in this film and he was amazing in his roles, I wish he had more roles like this, his charisma is amazing in the role of villains and the duet between Timothy and Austin was wonderful, two talented actors from they played the roles awesome I hope they get their Oscars

In the book, Chani doesn't make a fuss, but offers to step aside, but Jessica (who was also not a wife, but a concubine - politics), explains to her that a wife is only politics (and there will be no children as a result of it), but a real the prince's partner (and mother of his successors) is a concubine. Paul is a tragic hero, like from the ancient Greek tragedy - Orestes - about the curse of the Atreides family... Yes, the Atreides In the books, the family legend traces the origin of the family to Agamemnon Atreides (yes, the one from Illada and the Siege of Troy), although the father of the founder of the family in the books is Agamemnon, who belongs to the Titans (a group that in Brian Herbert's books enslaved humanity, whose last remnants resisted led by Harkonen).

He didn't choose the throne, it was the only way to keep those he loved alive.

Thank you for doing this reaction, I loved your thoughts and squeals. I love this version of the story but I do wish they had been able to add in things like Paul & Chani’s children. The first 3 books are very much worth the read.

If not for Paul Atreides, the Freman would have been eventually wiped out, and compared to many people living under the harsh and terrible societies of the empire they are the lucky ones. Paul chose the path leading to death destruction and rebirth, because it was truly better than any of the other options.

Lady Jessica and Paul literally drank the Kool-aid...😅😬😱

I love your reaction here!! You were so hyped, I felt that

This is one of the movies I've been waiting so long to see. I loved it without a doubt. When I found out that Josh Brolin would be in the movie I didn't think twice about seeing it. Nice reaction, sweet ladies!

The narrow way through that Paul saw in his vision, required he sacraficed Chani.. Last scene with Paul he also looks sad when saying "lead them to paradise" Its as if hes thinking "was it worth it" Well thats just my interpetation of it :)

22:10 a million couches were stained from this lmao

Great reaction, I've seen another reaction before and they didn't realize Paul was no hero lol, glad to see someone who understood the movie :)

Always a joy to see Magy reacting to her favourite character coming up on screen 😂 7:30 it's interesting to see the difference between the old and young Fremen - how much influence the Bene Gesserit propaganda and myths have on the old generation while the young see all of that for exactly what it is - deceit. 11:47 excellent first date idea: blowing up your father's killers in the desert with your girl! 12:38 - you said it best, Magy - they're so desperate to believe that every little thing can be interpreted as proof to sustain their creed. Paul riding the worm for the first time - that scene is gonna give us chills every single time. The little reveal after that he rode one of the biggest worms ever was just icing on top of the cake. Feyd-Rautha is one cocky little shit but he did put on a grand spectacle in the arena, you gotta give him that. Princess Irulan tried to warn her father and maybe it would've been better but he didn't really want to listen. 29:25 - so that's how the "Water of Life" is created, neat little reveal there. 34:55 he really was "born again" and Chani prompty slapped his silly ass for it 😂 35:42 looks like our bitter enemies are related after all! Quite the juicy revelation. 37:25 what a powerful scene - he took the lead and nobody dared oppose him. 38:50 Chani just realized what a terrifying being Paul became - they created a monster. 40:54 "It was at this moment they knew...they fucked up" Gourney taking out Beast Rabban was so satisfying to watch. 43:55 Paul was right when he told Chani that if he goes south, he will lose her forever. 48:15 that last look on Chani's face - "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" Thank you for this phenomenal reaction and the emotional discussion afterwards, you've truly outdone yourself with this one ❤

Saw this in IMAX it was incredible. Can't wait for part Dune Messiah!

Good reaction. BTW, you should also react to the Dune miniseries that came out in the year 2000, which you can find it easily and freely on KZfaq, that one is the most faithful adaptation of the book, so it would be interesting to compare it with the movies. And if you want to know what happened to the characters after the first story, you can react to the sequel "Children of Dune (2003)".

Hairy rats was hilarious, well played.

Not only is this a better adaptation than the book, it’s honestly one of the greatest movies ever made period!

Don't Worry, They will be together in the next part.

"I feel like he took the dark path" There was no other path, this was the only way to survive.

The deeper we go, the more exciting this adventure can be. 😺😸🙈🙉🙊💖

Director Denis Villeneuve says he will begin the first part of Dune Messiah, once he is assured that he has a script which he feels will outperform both Dune Parts One, and Two.

You gotta check out some Christopher Walken movies. He plays the Emperor. I think the only movies I know you've seen him in is Pulp Fiction (he played the soldier who showed up to give child Bruce Willis the watch) and Click (renamed What Kind Of Comedy Is That?!? He played Morty, the angel of death). The Prophecy is a good one. I'm sure people will recommend The Deer Hunter and The Dead Zone. He's in True Romance, which you'll love. Suicide Kings is one of my favorites. Honestly, it's a long list. He's a legend.

Beeen lookin forward to this 💯🍿 I hope you guys could find the biggest screen to watch this on .. because seeing this in theaters was unforgettable 😶! Stay Awesome⭐️

Work the contours and apply the edge of the blade, this film is the best sci-fi film yet made, congrats Denis, and thank you. No doubt you missed some Moebius art back in the day with those hooded Fremen.

in the books, princess areline documents everything about the houses and Paul. She narrates between chapters

21:00: Feyd-Rautha was played by *Austin Butler* You should watch his award-winning performance in *Elvis*

Every time i hear ''The Holy War begins'' i get chills

Remember Paul’s own mother was a concubine and not a wife to his father Duke Leto. Him marrying the princess while being with Chani is unusual.

38:35 This scene whole monologue, since he entered that building until he last speak Fremen will earn Timotheé his second Oscar nomination. Sadly, any other year he probably could’ve won it but this year Joaquin Phoenix will win it for Joker, but Timotheé is young and super talented, he will win one in the future. His delivery in this scene gave me goosebumps like three times when I watched this on IMAX, one of my favorite scenes of all time. It has so many amazing dialogues and the acting is amazing.

Have you seen it in IMAX? Because it's made for IMAX theaters.

And I was really looking forward to your reaction to Dune part 2

Dune, I think this film perfectly shows what humans are, especially in their most vile aspects. Thirst for power, lack of empathy, desire to impose one's will, ability to deal the lowest blows to ensure one's survival, belief in fairy tales when they suffer, etc. The Fremen suffer and look for a way out of their miserable situation. So they were manipulated by the power-hungry women who are unscrupulous and ready to do anything to achieve their goals. Others want to retain their powers at all costs and others want to have supreme power. In these power games some are lost like Paul's naive girlfriend. She dreams of a world that does not exist and cannot exist! Paul himself is only the result of this incessant war between the powerful clans of the empire and the burning desire of the Fremen to free themselves from their oppressors. I also see him as a victim and a traumatized being. The life of Paul Atréide is a tragedy. Well, it would have been easy if he didn't have certain abilities and if he hadn't done certain things that reinforced the Fremen fundamentalists in their blind faith. In short, he is trapped! As I say, it’s the history of the world! Power struggles produce traumatized and embittered people who will not hesitate to do harm when the opportunity presents itself. Can this end? Unless there is supernatural intervention, I don't think so. I think that if humans could be peaceful beings on their own, we would know that. Maybe after this life we ​​will have peace, but even then it still seems like a fairy tale!

BTW I love that tattoo and need to hear that phrase frequently 🙏🏻

18:46 Well...Rabban is pretty much a muscle-minded tank-brain.

Guys which platform do you watch the movie ?

Stilgar: How do i convert this to a PDF? Paul: *does with ease* Stilgar: LISAN AL GAIB! 😂 Magy, can i suggest a movie series? I know I'll be in the minority, but I am curious of your's and Laura's reaction of the Fast and Furious franchise. it's got love and hate feedback from the community, but i think you might enjoy the entertainment it brings :)
