The guy who Elvis Harkonnen has to defeat in the second movie is the same guy who says, "My Lord. The sun's getting too high. We need to seal the doors." It happens when they all have arrived and Oscar and Josh are talking about showering with sand.
Lieutenant Lanville. He was meant to have a bigger role in the first film, which would have paid off in the arena scene. He was a victim of how ruthlessly purposeful Denis is in the edit. It's a shame as this would have been another thread that tied the two films together.
We know that he followed Gurney Halleck around in the first film, there are several scenes with them together during the Atreides arrival and during the strategy planning meetings, so he was pretty high up in the Atreides leadership. If Gurney trusted him to be his right hand man, then he must have been an exceptional soldier.
Furthermore his power level is established. He's one of Leto's top men, he's always in his personal guard and by his side like Gurney, which establishes him as one of the finest fighters in the imperium according to dialogue in part 1.
What I loved about Bautista in this film is that he didn't just feel like a brat with a short temper. He was panicked because he knew he was about to lose control of the planet. To his little brother, no less. The undercurrent of fear that defined his character was a sight to see. Which made his retreat from Paul even more interesting. He was more afraid of Paul and the Fremen than he was of losing everything he had ever worked for.
@@elijahalbistonalso a voice against over-sexualization of men in movies (it’s a problem for either sex, but you don’t see the discussion being about the men’s side of things often), which is nice. He’s been cast as “big buff guy who has to have at least one shirtless scene in the movie, if he’s not just walking around shirtless all the time” so often that it started making him uncomfortable.
LOL!! No, really. I lol'd in the theater listening to it thinking what a crappy ripoff of Zimmer's Bladerunner and Lion King, not realizing it was Zimmer. Then I knew he just repurposed and threw together unused tracks from those 2 movies for a quick buck. The score was not good, it was discount Hans.
There are two things specifically I love about this movie: 1. After becoming the kwizats haderach, in my opinion Paul doesn’t make any more decisions: we never see him doubt or hesitate, he is simply doing exactly what he knows will work, he's almost inhuman and I love it. 2. Stilgar goes from a measured and respected leader to an absolute fanatic, the look in his eyes when he falls to his knees after Paul proclaims himself Lisan al Gaïb really shows just how much he is being manipulated, a lessening of a man, if you will EDIT: Oh how ignorant is mankind about the impact it can have, the fool wanted to simply leave a comment about a few things he liked about a movie, and he shall be punished with unending notifications about a comment chain discussing religion and the nature and definition of a god. For the fool did not consider the impact his words could have... Woe is me
1. Paul becomes a God 2. Stilgar worships his God The first point totally invalidates your idiotic second point which is the same idiocy that Herbert intended to insert with his own Transhumanist Liberal religious dogma. Stilgar has the normal human reaction to being in the presence of divinity... the problem isn't with Stilgar, the problem is with Paul thinking that there's a problem with Stilgar. That failure of Paul is why he dies alone in the desert broken & blind... while leaving the terrible burden of being the God-Emperor to his son Leto II. THAT is Paul's failure... his rejection of his own divinity
Saw it 5 times in IMAX, once a week untill it left the cinema. I tried to watch Dune 2 webrip, but it does not have the same impact, the sheer power of the sound design, the IMAX ratio (1.9, unfortunately could not watch it in 1.43). I might sound elitist, but you havn't really seen Dune part 2 until you saw it in a good IMAX theater.
A part in the film I absolutely love is when, after Paul defeats feyd and he is asked what the next move is, is the way he says: “lead them to paradise”. The emotion in his face seems almost sad, and the way he says it feels reluctant, like he doesn’t want it but it is the future he sees.
He basically has lost control over his own creation at this point. The Fremen don't even bother to ask what their chosen one actually wants - it doesn't matter. This is imho the prime lesson Frank Herbert tried to teach when writing this book: beware of charismatic leaders.
Strangely, the actual narrative of Rebel Moon is what would happen if Paul was The Emperor. The entire Universe is subjugated and broken, due to fanaticism. However, there is no ideology inherent to Rebel Moon, unlike the danger associated with religious fervor which Messiah will have to tackle.
i also really love that the lazers arent just some projectiles, theyre actual light, as theyre supposed to be. its the sense of sci-fi plus realisim that really gets you immersed bc it feel like its actually happening
I also loved the small details that in Dune universe hitting a shield with a laser results in a nuclear explosion either on the target or the one shooting the laser. And Fremen were shooting unshielded machinery with laser and did not shoot the shielded ornithopters with lasers because they are not suicidal...
@@MirecUcreates a fission reaction at both the shield and the end point of the laser, both go boom. It’s straight up banned by the landsraad, being equated to using the house atomics.
The real test moving forward is how the audiense resonates Dune Messiah. It's DLC to finish Paul's Tragedy but we love tragedies like Hamlet so we'll see
The thing is, as someone who has read it, It would be pretty boring if someone adapted it into film. Possibly, denis could save this by actually showing the Jihad, but other than the stoneburner scene and a few others, I think the action movie conditioned audience wouldn’t find it interesting.
@@h0rn3d_h1st0r1an I think it will appeal to what people loved about early season Game of Thrones, the endless plotting of characters. Game of Thrones didn't become must see TV because of the action, it came must see TV due to how the characters worked off each other. Messiah has the plotting in droves, the entire story is driven by basically the 3 villains, Scytale, Irulan, and the dwarf. Denis can make Messiah work by just leaning into that.
@@h0rn3d_h1st0r1an See, I also thought that about the Dune movies because the book is nearly half characters having internal monologues, but these are now some of my favourite movies. I still have doubts, but I want to see what Villeneuve can come up with.
The idea of elevating another character at the expense of another is perfectly fine - if executed well. And Dune 2 does exactly that. If you want your character to be smart, they need to outsmart another - and that character must not be dumbed down to do so. If you want an antagonist or protagonist to climb the power rank, make them defeat a character that's powerful - don't make that character weak. The greater power of the obstacle, the greater the satisfaction and impact on the audience when it is overcome. That's why we cheer when Paul defeats Feyd - because the movie has built Feyd into the menacing, sadistic, evil and powerful antagonist, and remains true to that until the very end.
Paul's speech where he finally declares himself "Lisan al Gaib" is amazing. It hit me right in the feels. I also reminded of Leto's lesson to Paul: "A great man doesn't seek to lead, he's called to it and he answers."
When the credits rolled, the entire theater was frozen in place for like 5 min, nobody wanted to get up. People were so immersed into the movie, it was incredible.
The exceptional use of tension between Paul and his goal is what ends up really selling the second half of the film, to the point that when our protagonist becomes a genuine future-seeing prophet and the most powerful being in the setting, instead of reducing the tension it elevates it by demonstrating that this is absolutely not a good thing.
This is perfect timing. I watched Dune 2 in theaters 2 days ago and it was amazing. There were so many moments where I smiled to myself because of how good this movie is.
People saying that the battle was too 'one-sided' forgets that Paul can literally see the future now, so he makes ZERO mistakes. every move and strategy he does is based on the future where HE is the one who wins and the enemies lose - it's like playing chess against someone that already knows every single move you will do on the board; dude is too OP.
Another reason why the third act works pretty well for me is the setup for the next movie. Yes, the emperor is portrayed as this all powerful individual, but as soon as the other houses arrive in orbit and decide to watch how the conflict on the surface plays out, we realize that this almighty power is built upon the acceptance and support of these houses. This, again, diminishes the power level of the (now defeated) emperor in relation to the other houses, while elevating the stakes for the upcoming battles off-world.
People say you need to watch the first as a refresher before watching the second. I implore people to *watch the first AFTER the second* so you can notice things.
Finding an IMAX near me is like trying to find an open source of water on Arrakis. I couldn't do it, and I couldn't even see it my local theater before they pulled it.
Same, there is only one theater near me and they have only 5 screens, which means they either swap out movies pretty quickly or don't show movies at all. I have miss out on seeing many movies I was really anticipating since they just never got shown. Seeing something in IMAX is an impossible dream unless I move in the future or I visit an IMAX theater while travelling.
In the state where I live, only ONE IMAX is available. That too, the only things that they show over there are dinosaurs and shit cuz it's located in a science park.
I think that's an extreme stretch of words to say that "Better Help has tried very hard to be the most trusted..." anything. When you get fined by the actual FTC, it says a lot more.
honestly what hit me most was Chalamet's performance. i wasn't sure he could pull it off, and he did. i was convinced. also, Villeneuve's brave changes to the original story were well-made, and he knew people would freak out over it.
I've long suspected that Villeneuve loves nothing as much as seeing people endlessly debate about what his film "meant" and why he made this or that shocking or unsettling choice in how he made the film... He's an extremely talented master manipulator with a way of making filmgoers ask themselves "why am I feeling what I'm feeling after watching his film?"
I agree my only gripe is the contrast in Chani, if you read the books you know how supportive she was the whole time and I don’t understand why Denis put such an emphasis on the gap between her and Paul as he progressed closer to being the messiah but it’s something I hope will pan out in the next movie
It's incomplete though. Just slapping part 1 on it doesn't absolve that. Analyze its plot structure. There is no real third act. The problem of the first act is receiving the commission to arrakis and taking control of it. The problem of act 2 is how to escape the harkonen attack. That is the problem running all the way until the end where it is resolved by being accepted by the fremen. The fremen duel is not a third act, it is a single scene and is still properly part of act 2. There was not a denouement and introduction of a third act as can be seen by there being no release of the tension from the battle. Compare LOTR the fellowship: Act 1 goes all the way to rivendell, with the introduction of the problem coming when gandalf visits Frodo, and the climax of the act being the chase by the ringwraiths as arwen rides with frodo. Then the following scenes are calm and we establish new plot points and characters and a new problem for this act: they've gotta get to mordor as a team of 9. The climax is when the balrog and gandalf fall into the chasm. Act 3 begins with calm again, introducing Galadriel and by this point, if not earlier, establishing the uruk hai as an impending threat. The problem is the same. What was "resolved" in act 2 was that the problem changed: how do we accomplish the goal with fewer in the fellowship than we planned? Act 3 is comparably short and the climax is not merely the uruk hai attack but specifically Boromir sacrificing himself to protect the halflings after initially failing the test of power. The resolution is that the fellowship is broken up but it served the purpose of getting frodo and sam as far as they did. It's a clear 3 act structure with periods of exposition, a problem to be faced, an extended sequence of conflict, followed by a sequence of emotional calm to separate each act from the next clearly. Dune 1 didn't have this. It had a short first act with no standard conflict (the climax is instead the test by the bene jesserit) and very long second act. That's why it's fair to say it was incomplete. Even though Fellowship was the first part of three, itb was still a complete film by itself. I hope this explained the issue to you
@cosmictreason2242 Part 1 was literally the first half of the book that why they said part 1 the fuck you kn about...it was meant to introduce the characters that why 1984 Dune failed because it crammed everything. Now go watch Dune part 1 and part 2 together...you will appreciate it 👍
@@neoluthuli3254 And The Fellowship of the Ring is actually the first part of a very long book, and yet the film works perfectly as a stand-alone work.
@Ratchet2431 Oh remember when people said Dune was the most un adaptable book? Denis did his best with part 1 say what you want now but these 2 films are perfect
@@Ratchet2431that's debatable, the reason I never went on to watch any of the other LotR movies was the moment when it finished and I'm like "is that it where is the end?"
I know people praise IMAX, but I believe 4dx deserves some too. THAT worm ride? Felt like I was dragged along as well. Absolute blast! PS: DO NOT PURCHASE POPCORN!
The knife fight itself is like an ultra fast chess game. It's calculated and precised. That give the sheer new heights to the dynamics of both combatants.
Dune 2 is gonna sweep a lot of prizes during Awards season. I predict a clean sweep in Special Effects (VFX), Sound, Cinematography, and Director categories. It was just that good.
The final battle should've been a bit bigger, longer, and the Emperor should've been more present, but besides of that, it's very good. I have to say, the cqc scene at the end is quite thrilling, this felt real.
Great connection for game of thrones, i remember watching Battle of the Bastards, and feeling the suffocation, now i dont what its like to fight and get sliced or stabbed but suffocating not being able to breathe is pretty relatable and such a good twist to the battle
There is also some scenes in that battle where arrows, spears, and even horses, travel directly into the screen, which can cause you to jump in your seat, making you feel just how terrifying it can be to have so many chaotic things happening all around you.
Hey filmento, just wanted to check in and say thank you all the amazing, top teir content. Not only is it enjoyable but it's heavily entertaining. My favorite parts are the subtle references and jokes you throw in randomly haha. I hope you don't stop anytime soon!
The shift in pacing and how brutally one sided the third act is is honestly great foreshadowing to what Paul is becoming. It is made to make you question what comes next, how could anyone resist his forces, and what happens if he isn't a good person. And if we get more movies, we'll see exactly what happens.
Please get better help, when choosing sponsors. I understand that you have to make a living, but this company scams people in need of help, which is many kinds of disgusting..
The whole scene with the Emperor worked for me because it emphasised how Paul was changing the rules of the static society that the Emperor embodied. He and the Baron are scheming against each other, each making power plays that that in themselves are cunning and impressive. If Paul did factor into their calculations, they would anticipate "what happens if he joins our game?" But instead, he just flips the games table entirely by doing a string of impossible and unthinkable things.
i watched this movie at least 6 times in theaters. incredible work. i would tell ppl they had to see it in theaters. i’d describe it to ppl as cinema history and if you didn’t catch it on the big screen now you’d just regret it later.
The fact that Part 2 had an actual story and characters and non-verbal worldbuilding, as opposed to just endless slow-motion shots of sand and famous actors standing around in a circle, definitely helped.
To make the obvious reference at 2:02 Rabban: "Feyd-Rautha, what does the scouter say about his power level?" Feyd-Rautha: "It's OVER NINE THOUSAND!" Rabban: "What, nine thousand?! There's no way that can be right!"
Saw this movie three times in the theatre, they really nailed it. Of course some elements could have boosted the dynamic, like characters that were left out. But overall this is one of the if not the most authentic rendition of book to film I’ve seen in a while
Your reading of Dune & 2une, and perhaps the audience members you mentioned that do not grasp the deeper philosophical condemnation of our culture inherent within the Dune films and see them as "atmosphere" only serve to emphasize the purpose of Frank Herberts books, demonstrating perfectly how easily human beings can be manipulated, tricked, and controlled. Those that accept the elements of the storytelling at face value, and dismiss the significance of the beats in the film that are too complex for popcorn flick consumers add credence to the wariness Frank Herbert had for our culture's fascination with the heroic archetypes held in such high regard by our society. Dune isn't a hero's journey story in earnest. Dune challenges traditional notions of heroism by subverting and deconstructing familiar archetypes and tropes like the hero's journey, western films, and the religious texts we are familiar with. The characters in Dune are morally ambiguous, with conflicting motivations and allegiances that blur the lines between hero and villain. Yes, the Harkanans are villains, but so is Paul. The "prophecy" he fulfills and his astronomical rise to power were not organic. The Bene Gesserit (BG) have implanted prophecies and superstitions on Arrakis, including the Lisan Al-Ghaib prophecy, for insurance and to make it feel like a prophecy when it happens. The BG are known as "black arm of superstition" and have spent thousands of years breeding humans from important bloodlines to create a Kwisatz Haderach (KH) in Paul Atreides. This is Pauls "terrible purpose" that the books directly name dozens of times. And Paul is aware of this. He hurdles towards oblivion full steam ahead with the full knowledge that he is a synthetic Messiah for the Fremen who he is complicit in manipulating. Paul is more terrifying than the Harkanan who are also pawns in the Bene Gesserits plans playing their parts as the narrative's villains perfectly. If you see Paul as the hero, you've arguably missed the whole point of the Dune series.
To be fair, MOST people who have read the initial Dune novel (from the day it was published to today) also came away thinking Paul was the hero - very much contrary to its author's intent! Though Villeneuve has made it a LOT harder to come away with that view, I was surprised that my own family members still came away making excuses for him... But the story isn't over - as any reader of the extended series knows. Villeneuve is bound to deliver us a sobering end to the modern Greek tragedy that is Dune: the definitive destruction of a man through an arbitrary "curse of the gods" (without actual gods in the Dune universe) that no one can do anything to prevent - even with perfect foresight... The only question is: will he finish the story with "Messiah"? or with "Children of Dune" (when its tragedy is revealed to be a multi-generational one like the original "Atreides" story in Greek mythology)?
Saw this movie five times in the cinema, with the last viewing being the best of them. Watched it on the largest IMAX screen in the world and it was such an awesome experience! This is what cinemas are made for!
I think the idea was, Paul and Feyd were mirror images of each other from the start, with nearly the same origin and stats. One of the points of Feyd's introduction was to kill someone roughly as good as warrior as Paul was before Paul got to Dune. This movie uses Feyd to show the audience what Paul would have become if Leto and Paul didn't have Lady Jessica as a guiding hand. The last gladiator was a Captain who served under Gurney (who became the best warrior of House Atreides after the original Duncan fell asleep forever in part one), the Captain might have been the 3rd best warrior in the army last year before they moved to Dune, which is about as strong as Paul was when he was sparring with Gurney. Though personally I would have liked to see more of a divergence between how much better Paul got after A Lot of War and practicing new Psychic Martial Arts vs the man who stayed in his office and didn't do the dangerous frontline stuff, missing out on a lot of practice & experience.
Dune 1 and Dune 2 are amazing, and they are simply literally epic. Both a lot of movie, which I think Filmento captures. It's constantly bigger, better, and culminating!
I loved the first Dune. The thing that I can't get over in Dune 2 is the fight scenes. Where did the personal shields go? The action was so much more difficult and interesting in the first film. And why was it so damn easy for the Fremen to win pretty much every battle? The problem with that is that they didn't come across as the oppressed underdogs. I was wondering the whole time how the Harkonnen were able to mine any spice at all. The Fremen seemed to have superior technology and fighting abilities.
It was the best cinematic experience I've ever had, with Inception in a distant second place back in 2010 and maybe Matrix in 99. It was also the first time ever I went to IMAX and boy it was worth every penny extra.
I remember another video making the same point as you about characters ranking relative to each others. The video talked about sans undertale and wrestling.
The thing which makes the arena kill so much more impressive is that we know atreides fighters are among the most feared soldiers in the empire, and is probably more than capable lf delivering some serious damage.
I recently watched Children of Dune miniseries (Syfy, 2003). Because I was so hungry for more Dune live action content. That’s also a really good show and lord! James McCavoy as Thimothee Chalamet’s son even though there’s like 20 years apart they do align with each other.
@@maju3606 Better Help is a data mining company and do not vet their therapists. Now they're pushing sponsorships with smaller channels bc big YT creators have cut them out
17:12 That’s funny, since my biggest critique of Dune 2 was the abscence of the feeling of risk, since Paul aces his training and they steamroll their enemies wayy too easily, in the final battle etc. Going too epic is a common problem, that eradicates the feeling of uncertainty and risk.
Hey Filmento, always love your content! Always excited for you every time you have a sponsored video, but just wanna say that BetterHelp has lots of controversy throughout the time 😢 wished you did some research prior to collaborations with brands. Keep up the good work tho!
First movie was fucking amazing, i loved it and regretted not going to the big screen to see it. So i went to see it on cinemas for the second one, and my lord. What a fucking masterpiece.
The shot of Shai Hulud bursting thru the storm, Fremen on his back, to take out the Sardaukar is just... *Chef's kiss* I don't think I've had that feeling if awe since the Return of the King. In fact, with a third movie in development, Dune has the potential to be a trilogy on oar with LOTR
Seeing this in IMax was actually incredible. It was like being on a roller-coaster! I recently got a new Bose surround system as well and have watching it at home and let me tell you, the sound and score in that movie absolutely help MAKE that movie. I just finished reading the first Dune book last night (and have been a fan since childhood thanks to my dad and the David Lynch film) and I am obsessed with this version of the story. Film perfection is right.
For me, the idea of the Fremen and Fedaykin is fucking cool. A bunch of desert people living on a scorching hot desert planet, but are also fairly technilogically advanced, as well insanely skilled fighters, is such a graat concept. The water suits are cool af, and seeing the Fedaykin emerge frim the sand and straight up rush their enemies is so badass
The fighter is Lanville from the first movie. He was in Duke Letos vanguard so he was probably a pretty decent fighter and also a friend of Duncan Idaho.
Did you know The word Fedaykin is inspired by the word (Fedayi_فدائي), which is a word given to the Palestinian resistance fighters who resist the Israeli occupation,even the way they fight is similar because they are fewer in numbers and weapons
The scene where they destoy the harvest was so intenso for me, that i almost cryed. Serious dude, was freaking awesome to watch a so well made movie in these days.
I understand why it could of been complicated to flesh out the sardukar but it was disappointing they didn’t flesh out there skills and tactical strength they’re supposed to be the best of the best of the best raised on basically a planet that was like living in Alcatraz this story just has such a rich atmosphere but villnueve has done an impossible feat for sure
the reason it's impressive that Elvis beat the undrugged Atreides fighter is because of the reputation of the Atreides, as mentioned during the Sardaukar scene in the first film
Dune Part 2 is visually a great film on its own, but a poor adaptation of Dune imo. All the departures from the source material didn't feel necessary to me, and made the resulting story worse than the original book. It also reversed several characters' motivations to add interpersonal drama where there wasn't any, and then removed interpersonal drama from where there actually was some originally.
What hit me most when watching this movie (I was taken 40 minutes outside of town to see it at a drive-in theater as a surprise [and am glad I thought to bring my glasses]), was that I now have to watch the first one so I can go rewatch this one and enjoy it even more! My late husband was a huge Dune lore nerd, and the reason I didn't have a problem following the story, and he would have loved these films. I think our son and I will enjoy them plenty on his behalf. [my only issue, if you can call it that, was that there are so many superstars in this franchise that I'm constantly distracted by the "oh, it's him! Oh look, it's her!" moments -- my problem, not a problem with the works themselves]
Hopefully this makes up for my Dune 1 video.

He basically has lost control over his own creation at this point. The Fremen don't even bother to ask what their chosen one actually wants - it doesn't matter.
This is imho the prime lesson Frank Herbert tried to teach when writing this book: beware of charismatic leaders.
The antithesis of Dune is Rebel Moon.
Even in the use of slo-mo. There's only one slo-mo shot in Dune Part 2 and because of that it hits hard. Synder uses it every two minutes.
Dune is what Snyder thought he was making
Strangely, the actual narrative of Rebel Moon is what would happen if Paul was The Emperor. The entire Universe is subjugated and broken, due to fanaticism. However, there is no ideology inherent to Rebel Moon, unlike the danger associated with religious fervor which Messiah will have to tackle.
Rebel Moon is the Feyd-Rautha to Dennis's Paul.
Fr, Dune started a lot of popular sci fi threads and a lot of media references it
Rebel Moon copied everything from everywhere
i also really love that the lazers arent just some projectiles, theyre actual light, as theyre supposed to be. its the sense of sci-fi plus realisim that really gets you immersed bc it feel like its actually happening
To be fair "lasers" in star wars etc aren't really lasers, but superheated plasma bolts or some such
I also loved the small details that in Dune universe hitting a shield with a laser results in a nuclear explosion either on the target or the one shooting the laser. And Fremen were shooting unshielded machinery with laser and did not shoot the shielded ornithopters with lasers because they are not suicidal...
@@MirecUcreates a fission reaction at both the shield and the end point of the laser, both go boom. It’s straight up banned by the landsraad, being equated to using the house atomics.
@@MirecUthat’s part of the reason the other houses reject Pauls rise. He used his house atomics to defeat Corrino and Harkonnen. Very taboo.
They somehow have impact. You instinctively know they are dangerous.
The real test moving forward is how the audiense resonates Dune Messiah. It's DLC to finish Paul's Tragedy but we love tragedies like Hamlet so we'll see
That's all i wanna see. But it would be so cgi heavy i don't think they'll do it justice
That's all i wanna see. But it would be so cgi heavy i don't think they'll do it justice
The thing is, as someone who has read it,
It would be pretty boring if someone adapted it into film. Possibly, denis could save this by actually showing the Jihad, but other than the stoneburner scene and a few others, I think the action movie conditioned audience wouldn’t find it interesting.
@@h0rn3d_h1st0r1an I think it will appeal to what people loved about early season Game of Thrones, the endless plotting of characters. Game of Thrones didn't become must see TV because of the action, it came must see TV due to how the characters worked off each other. Messiah has the plotting in droves, the entire story is driven by basically the 3 villains, Scytale, Irulan, and the dwarf. Denis can make Messiah work by just leaning into that.
@@h0rn3d_h1st0r1an See, I also thought that about the Dune movies because the book is nearly half characters having internal monologues, but these are now some of my favourite movies. I still have doubts, but I want to see what Villeneuve can come up with.
The idea of elevating another character at the expense of another is perfectly fine - if executed well. And Dune 2 does exactly that.
If you want your character to be smart, they need to outsmart another - and that character must not be dumbed down to do so.
If you want an antagonist or protagonist to climb the power rank, make them defeat a character that's powerful - don't make that character weak.
The greater power of the obstacle, the greater the satisfaction and impact on the audience when it is overcome.
That's why we cheer when Paul defeats Feyd - because the movie has built Feyd into the menacing, sadistic, evil and powerful antagonist, and remains true to that until the very end.
Disney and many parts of the entertainment industry need to learn this lesson so much
Yep, Dennis also elevated the Bene Gesserit over Mentats or The Spacing Guild. It was intentional creative decisions to keep the movies focused.
Also you can't do it too often, or it loses its effectiveness. Cf. Worf effect.
Paul's speech where he finally declares himself "Lisan al Gaib" is amazing. It hit me right in the feels.
I also reminded of Leto's lesson to Paul: "A great man doesn't seek to lead, he's called to it and he answers."
When the credits rolled, the entire theater was frozen in place for like 5 min, nobody wanted to get up. People were so immersed into the movie, it was incredible.
Even this dumbed down story was too much for their two brain cells.
@@tomigun5180 what you prefer Rebel moon?
@@h.t.creatction5321 Well, you have to understand the difference. Rebel Moon wasn't dumbed down. It was always dumb.
@@tomigun5180 i don't know man i watched Madame webb for me Dune 2 was vaccination for me
The exceptional use of tension between Paul and his goal is what ends up really selling the second half of the film, to the point that when our protagonist becomes a genuine future-seeing prophet and the most powerful being in the setting, instead of reducing the tension it elevates it by demonstrating that this is absolutely not a good thing.
Chalamet really nailed the progression of the character. He’s a completely different actor after drinking the water of life. Absolutely fantastic.
This is perfect timing. I watched Dune 2 in theaters 2 days ago and it was amazing. There were so many moments where I smiled to myself because of how good this movie is.
Same! Haven't done that while watching a movie in a long time. Speaks to how good it is if a lot of just smile out of pure enjoyment.
Real, best movie of the decade
That is rough... You missed your chance to see Dune 2 in IMAX. There are some movies you just want to see in in IMAX. That was one of them.
@@TheGoonSquadd i did watch it in imax, dw. genuinely so fucking amazibg
People saying that the battle was too 'one-sided' forgets that Paul can literally see the future now, so he makes ZERO mistakes. every move and strategy he does is based on the future where HE is the one who wins and the enemies lose - it's like playing chess against someone that already knows every single move you will do on the board; dude is too OP.
Yup. And quite a "curse of the gods" that is going to be...
Remember the Greek myth of Cassandra!
This movie in IMAX was the best cinema experience I’ve had for a very long time.
Hear hear. For me it has been the best since Interstellar.
Another reason why the third act works pretty well for me is the setup for the next movie.
Yes, the emperor is portrayed as this all powerful individual, but as soon as the other houses arrive in orbit and decide to watch how the conflict on the surface plays out,
we realize that this almighty power is built upon the acceptance and support of these houses.
This, again, diminishes the power level of the (now defeated) emperor in relation to the other houses, while elevating the stakes for the upcoming battles off-world.
People say you need to watch the first as a refresher before watching the second.
I implore people to *watch the first AFTER the second* so you can notice things.
Finding an IMAX near me is like trying to find an open source of water on Arrakis.
I couldn't do it, and I couldn't even see it my local theater before they pulled it.
Damn...that sucks.
Same, there is only one theater near me and they have only 5 screens, which means they either swap out movies pretty quickly or don't show movies at all. I have miss out on seeing many movies I was really anticipating since they just never got shown. Seeing something in IMAX is an impossible dream unless I move in the future or I visit an IMAX theater while travelling.
In the state where I live, only ONE IMAX is available. That too, the only things that they show over there are dinosaurs and shit cuz it's located in a science park.
The movie was so worth it, I even traveled to another city to watch it in a cinema!
I think that's an extreme stretch of words to say that "Better Help has tried very hard to be the most trusted..." anything. When you get fined by the actual FTC, it says a lot more.
For real, at this point seeing anyone take their sponsorship is a bit ... odd
unsubbed as soon as I heard that.
honestly what hit me most was Chalamet's performance. i wasn't sure he could pull it off, and he did. i was convinced. also, Villeneuve's brave changes to the original story were well-made, and he knew people would freak out over it.
I've long suspected that Villeneuve loves nothing as much as seeing people endlessly debate about what his film "meant" and why he made this or that shocking or unsettling choice in how he made the film...
He's an extremely talented master manipulator with a way of making filmgoers ask themselves "why am I feeling what I'm feeling after watching his film?"
@@PeloquinDavidbladerunner 2049 is a good example of this
"Elvis Harkkanen" haha, I was wondering who the actor was playing that dude. That explained it for me without having to look it up. GENIUS
Saw both parts in IMAX 5 times, Denis Villeneuve gave us the best adaptation of Frank herbert's Dune novel
I agree my only gripe is the contrast in Chani, if you read the books you know how supportive she was the whole time and I don’t understand why Denis put such an emphasis on the gap between her and Paul as he progressed closer to being the messiah but it’s something I hope will pan out in the next movie
@@alexlehder482 I agree
I hated when people said Dune part 1 is incomplete when it literally said in the title part 1
It's incomplete though. Just slapping part 1 on it doesn't absolve that. Analyze its plot structure. There is no real third act. The problem of the first act is receiving the commission to arrakis and taking control of it. The problem of act 2 is how to escape the harkonen attack. That is the problem running all the way until the end where it is resolved by being accepted by the fremen. The fremen duel is not a third act, it is a single scene and is still properly part of act 2. There was not a denouement and introduction of a third act as can be seen by there being no release of the tension from the battle. Compare LOTR the fellowship: Act 1 goes all the way to rivendell, with the introduction of the problem coming when gandalf visits Frodo, and the climax of the act being the chase by the ringwraiths as arwen rides with frodo. Then the following scenes are calm and we establish new plot points and characters and a new problem for this act: they've gotta get to mordor as a team of 9. The climax is when the balrog and gandalf fall into the chasm. Act 3 begins with calm again, introducing Galadriel and by this point, if not earlier, establishing the uruk hai as an impending threat. The problem is the same. What was "resolved" in act 2 was that the problem changed: how do we accomplish the goal with fewer in the fellowship than we planned? Act 3 is comparably short and the climax is not merely the uruk hai attack but specifically Boromir sacrificing himself to protect the halflings after initially failing the test of power. The resolution is that the fellowship is broken up but it served the purpose of getting frodo and sam as far as they did.
It's a clear 3 act structure with periods of exposition, a problem to be faced, an extended sequence of conflict, followed by a sequence of emotional calm to separate each act from the next clearly. Dune 1 didn't have this. It had a short first act with no standard conflict (the climax is instead the test by the bene jesserit) and very long second act. That's why it's fair to say it was incomplete. Even though Fellowship was the first part of three, itb was still a complete film by itself. I hope this explained the issue to you
@cosmictreason2242 Part 1 was literally the first half of the book that why they said part 1 the fuck you kn about...it was meant to introduce the characters that why 1984 Dune failed because it crammed everything.
Now go watch Dune part 1 and part 2 together...you will appreciate it 👍
@@neoluthuli3254 And The Fellowship of the Ring is actually the first part of a very long book, and yet the film works perfectly as a stand-alone work.
@Ratchet2431 Oh remember when people said Dune was the most un adaptable book?
Denis did his best with part 1 say what you want now but these 2 films are perfect
@@Ratchet2431that's debatable, the reason I never went on to watch any of the other LotR movies was the moment when it finished and I'm like "is that it where is the end?"

Holy shit! He would do Rama justice!
the sound in the worm riding sequence is so worth going to the theatre for. it was worth it for my seat shaking!
Dune 2 is gonna sweep a lot of prizes during Awards season. I predict a clean sweep in Special Effects (VFX), Sound, Cinematography, and Director categories. It was just that good.
Don t worry Filmento, you are my Lisan al Gaib, my kwisatz haderach
Just got my dinner, and filmento drops this banger. Much love from South Africa Filmento!
same here, filmento videos and dinners make a great combo
The final battle should've been a bit bigger, longer, and the Emperor should've been more present, but besides of that, it's very good.
I have to say, the cqc scene at the end is quite thrilling, this felt real.
Great connection for game of thrones, i remember watching Battle of the Bastards, and feeling the suffocation, now i dont what its like to fight and get sliced or stabbed but suffocating not being able to breathe is pretty relatable and such a good twist to the battle
There is also some scenes in that battle where arrows, spears, and even horses, travel directly into the screen, which can cause you to jump in your seat, making you feel just how terrifying it can be to have so many chaotic things happening all around you.
BoB was ridiculous tho. That battle made litteraly zero sense.
Actual masterpiece. Been a long time since I’ve been blown away by a movie like that
this movie in Imax was the best cinematic experience of my life
Hey filmento, just wanted to check in and say thank you all the amazing, top teir content. Not only is it enjoyable but it's heavily entertaining. My favorite parts are the subtle references and jokes you throw in randomly haha. I hope you don't stop anytime soon!
Loved the part where we are duning in the IMAX cinemas with our Dune popcorn bucket.
It's dunin' time!
What you dunin in the dune bucket 😮
yikes
The shift in pacing and how brutally one sided the third act is is honestly great foreshadowing to what Paul is becoming. It is made to make you question what comes next, how could anyone resist his forces, and what happens if he isn't a good person. And if we get more movies, we'll see exactly what happens.
Please get better help, when choosing sponsors. I understand that you have to make a living, but this company scams people in need of help, which is many kinds of disgusting..
This comment is confusing, I'm assuming you meant something along the lines of "Please don't get Better Help as a sponsor"
I'm curious to read your thoughts. I started Better Help recently. They scam people?
The whole scene with the Emperor worked for me because it emphasised how Paul was changing the rules of the static society that the Emperor embodied. He and the Baron are scheming against each other, each making power plays that that in themselves are cunning and impressive. If Paul did factor into their calculations, they would anticipate "what happens if he joins our game?" But instead, he just flips the games table entirely by doing a string of impossible and unthinkable things.
i watched this movie at least 6 times in theaters. incredible work. i would tell ppl they had to see it in theaters. i’d describe it to ppl as cinema history and if you didn’t catch it on the big screen now you’d just regret it later.
The fact that Part 2 had an actual story and characters and non-verbal worldbuilding, as opposed to just endless slow-motion shots of sand and famous actors standing around in a circle, definitely helped.
To make the obvious reference at 2:02
Rabban: "Feyd-Rautha, what does the scouter say about his power level?"
Feyd-Rautha: "It's OVER NINE THOUSAND!"
Rabban: "What, nine thousand?! There's no way that can be right!"
I like how when he uses the voice it's like he's using Conqueror's Haki
Saw this movie three times in the theatre, they really nailed it. Of course some elements could have boosted the dynamic, like characters that were left out. But overall this is one of the if not the most authentic rendition of book to film I’ve seen in a while
The orchestral music feels heavy and I like it. Some reason, reminds me of Tenet.
im still getting goosebumps from watching Dune from here, what a movie
Your reading of Dune & 2une, and perhaps the audience members you mentioned that do not grasp the deeper philosophical condemnation of our culture inherent within the Dune films and see them as "atmosphere" only serve to emphasize the purpose of Frank Herberts books, demonstrating perfectly how easily human beings can be manipulated, tricked, and controlled. Those that accept the elements of the storytelling at face value, and dismiss the significance of the beats in the film that are too complex for popcorn flick consumers add credence to the wariness Frank Herbert had for our culture's fascination with the heroic archetypes held in such high regard by our society. Dune isn't a hero's journey story in earnest. Dune challenges traditional notions of heroism by subverting and deconstructing familiar archetypes and tropes like the hero's journey, western films, and the religious texts we are familiar with. The characters in Dune are morally ambiguous, with conflicting motivations and allegiances that blur the lines between hero and villain. Yes, the Harkanans are villains, but so is Paul. The "prophecy" he fulfills and his astronomical rise to power were not organic. The Bene Gesserit (BG) have implanted prophecies and superstitions on Arrakis, including the Lisan Al-Ghaib prophecy, for insurance and to make it feel like a prophecy when it happens. The BG are known as "black arm of superstition" and have spent thousands of years breeding humans from important bloodlines to create a Kwisatz Haderach (KH) in Paul Atreides. This is Pauls "terrible purpose" that the books directly name dozens of times. And Paul is aware of this. He hurdles towards oblivion full steam ahead with the full knowledge that he is a synthetic Messiah for the Fremen who he is complicit in manipulating. Paul is more terrifying than the Harkanan who are also pawns in the Bene Gesserits plans playing their parts as the narrative's villains perfectly. If you see Paul as the hero, you've arguably missed the whole point of the Dune series.
To be fair, MOST people who have read the initial Dune novel (from the day it was published to today) also came away thinking Paul was the hero - very much contrary to its author's intent!
Though Villeneuve has made it a LOT harder to come away with that view, I was surprised that my own family members still came away making excuses for him...
But the story isn't over - as any reader of the extended series knows. Villeneuve is bound to deliver us a sobering end to the modern Greek tragedy that is Dune: the definitive destruction of a man through an arbitrary "curse of the gods" (without actual gods in the Dune universe) that no one can do anything to prevent - even with perfect foresight...
The only question is: will he finish the story with "Messiah"? or with "Children of Dune" (when its tragedy is revealed to be a multi-generational one like the original "Atreides" story in Greek mythology)?
Saw this movie five times in the cinema, with the last viewing being the best of them. Watched it on the largest IMAX screen in the world and it was such an awesome experience! This is what cinemas are made for!
Good lord this movie hit different.
What a ride, what an experience.
This is the most deserving movie of a “film perfection” video
Speaking of GoT, you should do a review on Shogun!
I think the idea was, Paul and Feyd were mirror images of each other from the start, with nearly the same origin and stats. One of the points of Feyd's introduction was to kill someone roughly as good as warrior as Paul was before Paul got to Dune. This movie uses Feyd to show the audience what Paul would have become if Leto and Paul didn't have Lady Jessica as a guiding hand.
The last gladiator was a Captain who served under Gurney (who became the best warrior of House Atreides after the original Duncan fell asleep forever in part one), the Captain might have been the 3rd best warrior in the army last year before they moved to Dune, which is about as strong as Paul was when he was sparring with Gurney.
Though personally I would have liked to see more of a divergence between how much better Paul got after A Lot of War and practicing new Psychic Martial Arts vs the man who stayed in his office and didn't do the dangerous frontline stuff, missing out on a lot of practice & experience.
Dune 1 and Dune 2 are amazing, and they are simply literally epic. Both a lot of movie, which I think Filmento captures. It's constantly bigger, better, and culminating!
Saw it twice in Dolby, once in IMAX. Oh Denis how I love your movies so.
I loved the first Dune. The thing that I can't get over in Dune 2 is the fight scenes. Where did the personal shields go? The action was so much more difficult and interesting in the first film. And why was it so damn easy for the Fremen to win pretty much every battle? The problem with that is that they didn't come across as the oppressed underdogs. I was wondering the whole time how the Harkonnen were able to mine any spice at all. The Fremen seemed to have superior technology and fighting abilities.
Shields aren't used in the desert because they can attract a worm.
You must have missed the part where they explicitly say shield are a death sentence because they attract worms...
It was the best cinematic experience I've ever had, with Inception in a distant second place back in 2010 and maybe Matrix in 99. It was also the first time ever I went to IMAX and boy it was worth every penny extra.
Well, George R. R. Martin used Dune as an inspiration for Game of Thrones.

finally, ivE been waiting for this
17:12 That’s funny, since my biggest critique of Dune 2 was the abscence of the feeling of risk, since Paul aces his training and they steamroll their enemies wayy too easily, in the final battle etc. Going too epic is a common problem, that eradicates the feeling of uncertainty and risk.
Hey Filmento, always love your content! Always excited for you every time you have a sponsored video, but just wanna say that BetterHelp has lots of controversy throughout the time 😢 wished you did some research prior to collaborations with brands. Keep up the good work tho!
First movie was fucking amazing, i loved it and regretted not going to the big screen to see it. So i went to see it on cinemas for the second one, and my lord. What a fucking masterpiece.
Saw it twice in theaters. Fucking phenomenal.
The shot of Shai Hulud bursting thru the storm, Fremen on his back, to take out the Sardaukar is just... *Chef's kiss*
I don't think I've had that feeling if awe since the Return of the King. In fact, with a third movie in development, Dune has the potential to be a trilogy on oar with LOTR
Seeing this in IMax was actually incredible. It was like being on a roller-coaster! I recently got a new Bose surround system as well and have watching it at home and let me tell you, the sound and score in that movie absolutely help MAKE that movie. I just finished reading the first Dune book last night (and have been a fan since childhood thanks to my dad and the David Lynch film) and I am obsessed with this version of the story. Film perfection is right.
Did the exact same thing, read the book over the last couple weeks and all of the story choices and cuts they made for the movie just make sense
1:58 was a perfect transition from it punching the ground to him head butting the ground
For me, the idea of the Fremen and Fedaykin is fucking cool. A bunch of desert people living on a scorching hot desert planet, but are also fairly technilogically advanced, as well insanely skilled fighters, is such a graat concept. The water suits are cool af, and seeing the Fedaykin emerge frim the sand and straight up rush their enemies is so badass
I actually loved your previous Dune video. It’s a shame to hear that it was so hated.
You tought me everything I know about storytelling. I can’t wait to put it all into my craft❤

The fighter is Lanville from the first movie. He was in Duke Letos vanguard so he was probably a pretty decent fighter and also a friend of Duncan Idaho.

Don’t sponsor better help, they scam you!!!!!!
the reason it's impressive that Elvis beat the undrugged Atreides fighter is because of the reputation of the Atreides, as mentioned during the Sardaukar scene in the first film
Dune Part 2 is visually a great film on its own, but a poor adaptation of Dune imo. All the departures from the source material didn't feel necessary to me, and made the resulting story worse than the original book. It also reversed several characters' motivations to add interpersonal drama where there wasn't any, and then removed interpersonal drama from where there actually was some originally.
What hit me most when watching this movie (I was taken 40 minutes outside of town to see it at a drive-in theater as a surprise [and am glad I thought to bring my glasses]), was that I now have to watch the first one so I can go rewatch this one and enjoy it even more! My late husband was a huge Dune lore nerd, and the reason I didn't have a problem following the story, and he would have loved these films. I think our son and I will enjoy them plenty on his behalf. [my only issue, if you can call it that, was that there are so many superstars in this franchise that I'm constantly distracted by the "oh, it's him! Oh look, it's her!" moments -- my problem, not a problem with the works themselves]
That Atreides soldier Feyd killed was someone good. It was Lt. Lanville. The Duke's body guard and Hallecks right hand man.
