How did you like the ending?

The biggest question in Dune is, how do they get off the sandworm??

Moral of the story: Don't cheat on Zendaya.

That last scene with the duel between Paul and feyd-rautha was almost exactly how I imagined it. I remember my heart pounding as I read it even though I knew Paul would win; I felt the same way watching it.

Did anyone else notice actor Everett McGill (the 1984 Dune's Stilgar) as the Sardukaur leader in the throne room when the Fremen break in? Great cameo!!!

I enjoyed this film more than the first probably because of the importance of Paul’s ascension. Looking forward to the final film to see how they continue from part 2. Timothee did an incredible job

I was also surprised that the commentary failed to note the cliché Hollywood ending - the heroine rides off into the sunset on her trusty worm.

I'm glad you mentioned the betrothal would not bare offspring.... it's an important point highlighting Paul's love for Chani.

This movie is on par with empire strikes back in my opinion! What a great film going experience! And i havent been to the theater since oppenheimer. Maybe once a decade movie right here.

Spoiler Alert Personally, i loved that paul calls the baron grandfather and then kills him. Its more poétic than the novel

That was one of the best sci fi battle scenes I have ever seen but it left out some key parts of the Dune book and I have mixed feelings about the movie overall. The first major thing the movie overlooked was the Guild. The Guild Navigators need the spice to fold space. In the book Paul didn't have to ask to ask the great houses to accept him instead he threatened the Guild. Paul said all ships must withdraw or I will flood the spice fields, drown the worms and stop spice production. The Guild Navigators could see the future and they could see that Paul would follow through on his threat. You might be wondering how the Fremen had enough water to do this but in the book Siech Tabr was one of many sieches and each sieach had a big resivor, the Fremen had been slowly collecting water for centuries and by this point they had a substantial amount of water. Some of the great houses wanted to fight Paul but the guild wouldn't fly their ships to Arrakis. The second major thing the movie failed to explain was why Paul couldn't stop the holy war. Both the book and the movie made it clear that Paul did not want an interplanetary holy war because it would kill billions. Imagine you realize that you can't defeat a powerful enemy without help and you can see the future. When you look at the future you realize you need a crazy groups help to defeat you're enemy but if you go against the crazy groups beliefs you see 100 guns pointed at you and then blackness. Paul saw that the only way to stop the Harkonens was to be the Fremen's prophet but if he went against the Fremen's beliefs he'd be a false prophet and quickly overthrown. Paul hoped to slowly tame the Fremen but in the book he wasn't too successful the holy war still claimed alot of lives. The book did alot better of a job explaining this than the movie. Also in the book Chani much more understanding of Pauls marridge because Paul made it clear that Irulan was his wife in name only and all his affection would go towards Chani. Chani also understood that Paul needed to let his Jihadists blow off some steam if he wanted to keep his head. By the end of the book Chani had also come to the realization that even she didn't like Paul using the Fremen for political gain the Harkonen's needed to be overthrown. Paul didn't have to threaten the emperor to marry Irulan, Paul pointed out that a marriage would make both houses stronger and the emperor could save face making the coming war less sever. The moral of the book was clear repressing people to the point where they become religeous fanatics and then trying to use their religious fanatacism for political gain is a bad idea and you would likely lose control. It was kind of a metaphor for us exploiting middle eastern countries for oil. In the book Paul's 6 year old sister Alia stapped Barron Harkoonen with the same poisoned needled that the Barron tried to assassinate Paul with and then levitated the dying baron into a sandworms mouth. I thought that was a much more fitting end to the barron than just getting stabbed. Paul sister was known as Saint Alia of the knife after she disposed of the baron. Finally the movie did not make it clear that Paul saw a future where all of humanity was destroyed. You might wonder why there are no computers/robots in Dune. The are a few prequal books to Dune and in one of the prequels humans fight a war against robots. There are two main robots Omnious and Erasmus. Erasmus is a mad scientist robots who accidentally creates mentats in one of his twisted experiments. The robots are about to wipe out the human race but then Norma Cenva a brilliant mathametician invents faster than light ships and creates the guild, women on a jungle planet Rossak inhale some cave gasses and the first Bene Gesserit Witches are born and a mentat esscapes Erasmus's prison. With the help of the newly formed guild, the first Bene Gesserit sisters and the first mentats it seems like humans defeat the robots. Much later in the serioes you find out that a copy of Omnious and Erasmus made many copies of themselves, a copy escaped and humans must band together to fight off the robots again. Paul sees that if Harkonen's take over they will leave the galaxy in bad shape and humans will fall to the robots.

Gen Z has ourselves a Lord of the Rings

I like that the film left off with the image of Chani struggling to maintain her composure after what she has seen Paul begin to do. This film really upped the ante set up by Part 1 and the characters’ growth was improved so much

The thing I don't understand.... If the prophecy is totally made up by the bene gesserit then how come Desert Spring's tears woke Paul? If it's just because he is from a powerful bloodline that can survive it anyway then why did he need the tears, and why did the tears bring him back to life "as was written" in the prophecy?

Good movie. Changes : No born Alia, no water of life orgy, no Paul's son getting killed, no Baron Fenring, Chani being way more angry and contrarian than in the book (this one, I dont see the point, and I didnt like), contrary to the movie Paul's coma was lived in relative isolation and played out slightly differently (Jessica tried to revive him in an isolated room for days, and then asked for Chani's help; they were afraid he wouldn't wake up and the Fremen started to have doubts of if he was dead), no Thufir Awat, no Navigators, holy war starts a bit too fast.

In the novel Paul wouldn’t even sleep with Irulan. I think what will ultimately drive Chani back is either Paul starting to terraform Arrakis or she’s pregnant with the first Leto II (not the one who became a worm, the one who got assassinated, as the time gap in this movie is smaller than the book)

Holy shit this was such an amazing movie to see. Only a little bit disappointed we were still not shown any navigators. I wanna see them

10/10 Masterpiece. This is my generation's our LOTR Return of the King, Our Ben Hur and Our Lawrence of Arabia. Denis Villenueve has made a movie that will be spoken of 50 years later as a masterpiece 🔥

Watching Dune 2 in IMAX took this masterpiece to another level...

I saw the movie last night, and i left the theater thinking how by the end Paul was no better the emperor and the harkononens

The Bene Gesserit didn't plant a "FALSE" prophesy on Arrakis...they planted a self-fullfilling prophesy about the coming Kwisatz Haderach. They planted these prophesies with the intent of fullfilling them later, with their own created "superbeing". Once that creation was complete, all of those prophesies would be fullfilled, and those populations would naturally fall under thier control. The prophesies were manufactured...but there was nothing "false" about them.

what I enjoy about the theme is the emphasis on honor, a kind of chivalry so that although its science fiction and set in an advanced civilization when characters physically battle its with blades so that both combatants are equal in firepower advantage and the battle relies on knowledge, finesse skill set and fighting spirit. In the world of martial arts this is called Ki or Chi in Phillipino blade martial arts this is heightening your awareness of your opponents, for lack of a better word, fighting energy. This concept is also taught in Wu Shu. The blade fighting sequences incorporate some Phillipino and some Indonesian Silat techniques, very well choreographed scenes. For me watching even in mass battle scenes the fighting is one on one very entertaining for a martial arts practitioner its very intriguing. Excellent movie Im going back to watch it in theatre XD.

Watched the movie today my word, absolutely fantastic and epic.

The movie was rushed, and Batista's character was reduced to a punching bag.

You can look at this from 2 perspectives you clearly see it through a anti religious scope. However this is also a self fulfilling prophecy that bolsters the messianic trope and gives the Stilgar perspective no matter what he does he is the one

Chanis character was way different in tge 2nd half of the movie than the book....and her early irritation is off-putting

You messed this up very badly. Paul does become a monster, but in the book the reader never knows for sure that Paul is correct or not. He thinks the path he tries to follow is the only way forward to a better galaxy. Paul does not think it leads to happiness for himself, he is sacrificing himself. Paul thinks the massive war is justified, but he might be wrong. Is he wtong? It seems he is, he bought his own BS. (He basically Thanos). Herbert was disappointed that readers often thought Paul is a hero. The movie is making it clear. Btw, it's not capitalist. It is feudalist, mixed with socialist, it is nothing about money. It is about who gets one resource. The corporations mentioned are owned only by the aristocracy, there are no free markets. Everything is either a collective, or a monopoly setup by the crown.

They took Chani in the wrong direction. She seemed like an outsider and by the end i felt like i was just watching Zendaya amd not Chani.

It bothers me that the film left out the fact that Chani and Paul had a son together "Leto II the Elder" and their son was killed however the movie was really good

Though the director took liberties with his movie against Frank Herbert's book, the movie's ending was more believable than the previous film interpretations. The Great Houses would never accept Paul's ascension to the imperial throne just because he had won one battle against Shaddam IV and claimed Princess Irulan as a war bride. Paul threatens the status quo and they would never legitimize his rule over them. Paul using his family's atomics as a threat against the spice fields and to wipe out all spice production forever immobilizes the Great Houses . His fanatical Fremen warriors spread across the universe with immunity with the message of convert or die. Millions, if not billions, will die until all submit to Paul's rule or die from their melange addiction.

Dune is not a “white Savior” The Fremen were white in the books Chani had red hair. This is completely stupid to promulgate. It’s just about charismatic leaders and governments not just white ones.

Why do you call the prophecies fake? Every word of them in "Dune" will come to pass. Every single one. And Paul is not a fake prophet, he is a literall prophet, he sees the future.

I should feel excitement, but I feel bad. I feel like Paul used the Fremen, and this is just the start of something horrible

Dune ran so Stargate could sprint,so starwars could dash

Haven’t read the books. Just finished the 2nd movie. Based on the 2nd movie if Chani has Paul’s child and the new queen has Feyd-Rautha’s child that could set up good contention for the throne. Curious how it plays out.

Its not a white saviour trope

i don't understand why a 1974 HIT SINGLE by Sir Elton John is such a threat to the entire DUNE universe.

The amount of arabic sentences / words used in the movie really twisted my brain. Because it's almost never used for the correct meaning. I did like the movie even though i was confused half the time.

I wish I knew why they didn’t keep the ending the same as the book. If Dune: Messiah is in the works they are going to have quite a lot of explaining to do on how Chani got back with Paul.

I really doubt they do a time jump. My assumption is that the third movie ends where Messiah begins only because there are so many loose ends that need to be resolved.

Breathtaking movie

Where did Stilgar and the Fremen go by the end of the movie? Is Caladan is “paradise”?

Most sequel don’t ever do as good as the first but this movie surpassed it by a mile

Wonderful Video!!!!

“You couldn’t tell by his accent?” I have a southern accent and thought it was hilarious.

Ok I need to understand why chani was so angry over using her tear to save him?

This is the best explanation I’ve seen of this movie on KZfaq. As a person of colour that loves the movie franchise I’m so happy they gave Chani agency her powerful speech “this is how they enslave us” is so important. It’s why this movie didn’t fall into the white saviour trope. I am keen to see how they make Paul and chani will come back together in the 3rd movie adaption. ❤

people have to stop this moronic “white savior” thing. The Fremen were white in the book there is no “white savior.” it’s also not propping up paul as a savior in any real sense.

Ultimately in the end, Paul Atreides ends up becoming The God Emperor and a Sandworm himself, and eventually dies, crazy ending to his story.

This helps a lot. i understand now that it is on purpose that the audience does not sympathise with Paul at the end of dune 2 anymore. I was quite perplexed by his decisions at the end: why choose and start this holy war and abandon your lovelife? Because it is “fate”? Already known that you can change the fate/dreams. Is it just a grab for power? His Mother really seems like that in the end as well when she even abandones the Bene Gessserit lady. Just because of revenge? Seems awkward and not really what Paul wants, also he already got his revenge on the Baron and the Emperor. To save the Fremen from something worse than a genocidal war? We never really get shown much repression by these older royal houses so not something to really empathise with either. Was it because he really cared for the dream of the Fremen for making a green paradise of Dune? It doesn’t really seem like he cares so much about that either. We never heard any lines like “this land is ill, and I need to restore it to it’s former glory or anything’ he only uses the promise of the green paradise as reason to go into war. Which he quite feared in the middle of the movie. I was really like: why don’t you and Chani not just find a nice shelter or Oasis in the desert and live happily after all??

Love this movie

I just hope I’m alive to see the ending. 😂 GREAT MOVIE GREAT SPECIAL EFFECTS. LOVED IT!

7:12 ok I think maybe chani expected Paul to tell her people that the prophecy is fake instead he leaned more into it to avenge his father death and take power. This is exactly what she feared would happen. But idk she said she still wanted to fight and she did so. Idky she would risk her life just to watch everything unfold out of her favor. I do like the idea of chani trying to wake others out of the matrix and be more of a rebel.

even with the part 2 ending, Paul pretty much reminded Chani that she will be the only one woman she will ever love till he dies, so i doubt they will change that, but who knows.

"For my duke and my friends" human form Thanos on killing Anemic Drax

Loved this movie and I’ve read the series so even though Paul attains the throne he cannot marry Chani..so sad.

There is not greed in communism? Interesting.

I think they can do Messiah but beyond that, it gets trippy. Like yeah, REALLY trippy.

Ending of Dune 2 means Dune 3 coming soon

It's a good film alongside Dune 1, if you can just forget the book ... it has internal consistency but it will have to end up in a very different place by the last reel of Dune 3 because so much damage has been done to the sub-plots as Herbert wrote them. It will be as impossible to maintain any integrity Dune Messiah because the changes made to the plot (or perhaps, more accurately, the plot changes plus the sub-plots removed) in these films, mean that the central conspiracy in Dune Messiah will make no sense. From that perspective, for all of the dodginess of the DeLaurentis adaptation, I preferred that.

So the fremen are able to pilot star ships? Haven't they been on Dune for ever with minimal vehicle's?

Loved this movie just got back the ending wasn’t great but the story was great and loved the music acting and fight were amazing

Why stilgar acts like he is disappointed when Paul said lead them to paradise ??

Wait what? No one mentions Duncan Idaho the Golem. That would be a huge mistake if he is left out of all this and the next movies.

The Reboot of Dune part 1 and 2 was for me and i think for a lot of other people, finally WE get a good,good,good,MOVIE. But there is only one little thing what kept me a little bit unsatisfied about the ending of Dune part 2, and that is that the BIG action battle scenes and the revenge of Paul and Gurney and the rest was so short. Here was a change to make a Real Game Changer and not have to be the same reboot with less scenes in it. Don't get me wrong, the 2 Movies where Masterpieces for sure!!! The Best 2 movies of the last 2 Decades ( 20 years ). For me it felt like a missed opportunity, but maybe there is a longer version Dune part 2 as a surprise.( extended version i hope ). I know less is sometimes better, but it felt to me a little rushed on the end, but still i would give the two movies a BIG 10 for acting, music, atmosphere, costumes, everything was good organized. All in all the movies were FANTASTIC!!!!!! That is were i want to end this, Positive. I hope that Dennis is gonna make more of this kind of Movies, Maybe if he would REBOOT Star Wars 7,8,and 9, THAT WOULD MAKE TOTALLY SENSE !!!!!!!!LOL. NO JOKE 🤨, If he would have made Star Wars the last Trilogy this GOOD? But that is for the future, within 10 Years Dennis !!!!!!, HINT 😉😁

Waaaiit a minute. HOLD UP. You need to change the title. I didn’t come here for spoilers about the story beyond the second movie.

I loved the old dune and part 1 why don’t I like this one 😢

when he would address the charecter played by zendaya i would always thing he said Johhny

Where was Daniel and Ra?

The screwed up the ending! One of the greatest love stories in the known universe and y'all f×cked it up. Channi was in on the plan and even told his mother that is it had to be that way. Paul actually worked to dispel his own mythos and Leto 2 taught humanity exactly how dangerous religion is.

Yes bro you really hit the nail on the head. I love the twist at the end.

With all the tech at hand why oh why does the armies fight with swords? bit weird..

Your time watching this movie is like water in Arrakis: not a drop will be wasted.

I always thought the story was gruesome, but this adaptation was very cinematic. I was surprised by the failure of this commmetary to note the deletion of the obvious biblical reference in the earlier movies & book, i.e. the reference to paul the Messiah's word being his invincible sword. The weirding module/voice? He would strike them with the rod of his mouth

well in the books, chani dies in childbirth - if you're sticking to the books

literally the BEST MOVIE EVER. Give timothee all the Oscars

I wish the review would leave out the aspects about colonialism and capitalism. The theme of people needing a messiah, and of a messianic figure who abuses the power given to him, transcend any contemporary analogy or any particular set of values.

All you need to know about the ending of Dune Part 2is Paul is going to marry the Princess, but he totalky loves Chani and Chani is disappointed in Paul. AND, DenisV is doing a Dune 3 ...

20th Century witnessed the slaughter of millions upon millions by those who were men of materialism.

Free Will is indeed an illusion. It’s cause and effect.

Just completed the movie and now I am disappointed that Paul cheated on Chani. I feel sorry for her.

With regards the critique with capitalism, that is a straw man fallacy. Capitalism doesnt play a part on Dune, there is no free market. However, there is heavy evidence of merchantilism and colonialism and guilds, based on medieval economics principles where the empire give license to the West Indies to exploit the colonies. If there were presence of capitalism in Dune everybody can basically extract the spices wiuth free trade and competition and not the monopolistic exploits of one house at a time.

I think Chani will be the secondary antagonist from Dune 3: she's heartbroken because of Paul and i think she'll want make her pay. Honestly i understand her cuz if someone did the same thing to me i'll have the thirst of revenge too.

LOL @ Villeneuve adaptation is close to the books.

I’m so glad they gave Chani agency so this isn’t a white saviour complex. The fremen are extremely smart fighters clearly the best in the universe

Why Chani able to shoot to the shield and disable it( the shooting aircraft scece), I didnt pay attention please explain

Is Denis villanu french?

I see as Stargate, I press like

Am I the only one that was confused the entire movie? I feel so dumb.

This movie was pretty stale for a large section but the final 30m was brilliant

Overall incredible, but Villenueve’s major departures from the book were for the worse. Paul neglecting to tell Chani in advance that the marriage proposal to Irulan would be a formality is way out of character. It simply serves as a mechanism to add drama to the story by creating a false “betrayal” of Chani. The religion vs atheism dynamic in Fremen culture is non-existent in the book and makes for a lopsided and unnecessarily blunt criticism of faith. Villenueve paints religious people as narrow-minded simpletons who see the hand of the divine in everything. He makes Stilgar into a caricature of this, which is tragic because he is such an intelligent, pragmatic, and sophisticated character in the book. Villenueve’s critique of faith also creates a huge elephant in the room in the obvious parallels between Paul and the Muslim prophet Mohamed (e.g. messiah and jihad) making the film a particularly scathing critique of Islam. Herbert intended Dune to be a critique of hero worship and cult of personality more so than religion, and he does so with subtlety and good storytelling. In contrast, Villenueve’s changes come off as blunt and political. The film would have been better if he had stuck to the story and let Herbert speak through it rather than take the Disney approach.

How did he kill feyd tho….

Hmmmmm Paul is giving Eren. 👀

Why didn’t they rename the character Chaney to Karen? Wish the director had read the book.

I have got say this movie was not for me, it's a weird mix of space religion and politics

I don't like the analysis this clip gives of the movie. But Dune 2 is also amazing like Dune 1. Perhaps a few things seemed rushed but despite this it still made me clench my seat and gave me the chills a few times. So. Darn. Good.

Lisan al Geeb

it’s not “lisan al geeb”. it’s lisan al gaeb pronounced guy eeb

It's too early for this type of video. Give the film a weekend at least.

Lisan Al Geeb?
