Princess Irulans main role takes place in Dune Messiah. Kinda like how zendaya had a smaller role in Dune 1 but becomes a coco-lead in Dune 2, in the next movie Florence Pugh is gonna be a co-lead
Saw it last Sunday... It's honestly a masterpiece. A once in a decade film. 10/10. I'm going back this Friday... First time I've been twice to a movie theater since Return of the King.
I was floored at the cinematography and ingenuity of the art direction -- as a sci-fi fan I thought I had seen it all but just WOW. What a stunning film
I saw Dune Part 2 last night (Thursday) in the opening screening for my local AMC. This movie is audacious and stunning film making on a massive scale. The cast is outstanding and the visual effects are better than anything I have ever seen (eat your heart out Avatar!). The visuals are very effective when it comes to story telling. As Brian said, the visuals and the action is not meaningless for once! There is a particular sequence that is truly exhilarating to watch. I saw it at a regular screening and think this movie is the rare film worthy of IMAX. Dune Part 2 will be among the Best Picture nominees next year. I also think Timothée Chalamet will get his second Best Actor nomination. His performance is so strong and handles the gravity of the arc and storyline. Austin Butler is freakin' fantastic as Feyd Rautha and could have a shot as Best Supporting Actor. Denis Villeneuve will also be nominated for Best Director and deserve it! I am sure there will be a string of technical nominations for visual effects and sound. Make up and costume design are in play as well. Dune Part 2 is just that good! The other thought I had while watching this movie was, this is what Star Wars wishes it could be when it comes to the extremely high quality of film making. I am so excited to re-watch this movie for years to come and to see Dune Messiah. Go see this movie everyone!
So when the first Dune came out I was excited and I saw it on digital but to be honest I was not patient mostly because fantasy is not my type of genre so i did not finish it but i decided to see it last week and this time i turned my phone off and actually payed attention and I was captivated by the movie no it’s not my favorite but it got me excited for part so I’m planning on see it and I’ve only heard good things about it so far
I loved this movie. The only thing that bothered me was someone in front of me checking their phone constantly. Truly an insult to the cinematic experience as a whole.
Dune I think is comparable to Avatar. Both feature exotic alien worlds that are just so fleshed out and developed with intricate attention to detail, and no expense is spared in the visuals and audio, so when you watch the movie it feels like you're there in the world. That level of impressiveness is so good that the watching experience alone is enough to make any story issues like pacing or acting feel like minor gripes. However the difference is that unlike Avatar where the story is fairly basic and easy to digest by a mainstream audience, Dune is more slow-burn and complex. It is not a straightforward good vs evil story like Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. I can easily see how a mainstream audience may get turned off when they realise the hero they were rooting for turned out to have a dark side or even become morally grey and willing to cross certain lines. For example remember how audiences reacted in Man of Steel when Superman killed Zod, the sheer controversy it raised when a hero commits an act of taking a life. So many characters in Dune are exactly like that, even the 'protagonists'.
CGIs in avatar were cartoonish, in Dune they look natural. Story in avatar was pretty flat here the story is much more complex. These movies are in different league.
First one is tonally sound, has promising story to come. Part 2 falls flat in delivering simply because Villeneuve tried to stay true to the material as much as possible (excluding the fact that Chani was Princess of Arrakis, whereas Chani in a movie is actually a californian sassy teenager of the 21st century). Weird decision plotwise, because as a movie it fails, since we actually have one 5,5 hour long movie and its final act is pretty anticlimactic. Part 1 had also Oscar Isaac and Jason Momoa, 2 movie stars that brought their own characterization ( Villeneuve has problems /struggles with dialogues and characters
The big what if I have is what if Dune had been released last fall as originally planned pre strike? Because the way people have been talking about it, Villeneuve probably would've been nominated for Best Director, Greig Frasier would've been nominated for cinematography, multiple acting noms, and it certainly would've up for Best Picture. I would've loved to see how it would've matched up with Oppenheimer but on the other hand I know the Academy hates sci fi for the most part.
In this year's Oscars, I don't know if it would have managed to get acting noms, maybe a Supporting Actor nom for Butler? But I believe it would be the frontrunner for Cinematography and Visual Effects, perhaps Sound as well.
@@charles-edouardmorel3173 I could see that. I'm going to see it this week because I have a couple of days off, everything I've heard has been how amazing the visuals are in particular.
It's a great movie but nothing compared to The Two Towers from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Villeneuve is not as excellent as Peter Jackson when it comes to dialogues.
Watched the Dune 1984 Alternative Edition Redux again yesterday and YES it is technically not as perfect as the new Dune movie but has better music and better actors and much more magic and mysticism than the new sterile movie. Despite all the bombastic efforts, the new movie doesn't grab me! It's just pure Hollywood digital cinema that lacks the essential flair. I absolutely cannot understand why this remake has produced so many enthusiasts. Everything left me quite cold and many actors are absolutely disappointing for me. All the mental explanations won't change the fact that this remake simply lacks that certain extra something and spice❗
@@DarkoFitCoachThat is GOOD and proofe that i am on the right track ;-) Mainstream taste was never brilliant and on the point. Thanks for your comment, it make my day 👍
ZzZzpectacular… The trailer gave away all of the actions scenes… nothing happens on the first hour, and a half; visually stunning, and that’s it. The narrative is basic and boring (White Savior Syndrome)-- & everybody’s eating this up just because the cinematic experience is dying; people got tired of comic books films and now they want to recycle the same story of pretty much every sci-film after Star Wars; but disguise as "ART” zzzZzz.
This is so untrue lmaoooo Dune is much more complex than that. Just say it's not for you and keep it pushing but anyone who's read the books knows that this isn't really an accurate criticism due to how complex the execution of these themes was in the source material. Not saying you have to like it but dismissing a piece of media due to superficial analysis is just bad faith criticism.
@@joser1853 What?? The 3 so-called action pieces only lasted like 10Min max- Timothee riding sandworm? Austin Butler anti climatic death- is all Auteur Bullsh*t.
Absolute masterpiece. I can't believe a $200M blockbuster is allowed to be this unapologetically artistic and bold

They actually arguably gave Pugh’s character more to do here than in the book
Not really. Irulan has personal journal overview through out the book.

Definitely a 10/10

Didn't Austin Butler play one of the Manson family in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?
(Looking it up on IMDb)......
Yeah, he played Tex Watson.

Had “Dune: Part 2” come out back in November like it was supposed to, how do you think it would’ve changed this year’s Oscar race?
Well, there’s many races. It definitely would’ve stolen some awards tho.
It might have run away with Cinematography, and we would have a clear winner for Best Visual Effects at last
Actually disagree, I think it could’ve been another hour long and I’d have been happy
Yes. It is THAT good. 🤩🍿
And the Oscar for best picture of 2024 goes to..... DUNE Part 2
Yeah, it's a pretty weak year for movies, I won't be surprised.

Glad this one is BETTER! Great cast!
Maybe this would be the new subject of Dune at the oscars 2022
Irulan will have a bigger part to play in the next movie. She is not a high character in the first Dune novel.
Everybody seems to like the 2nd one I just watched it and actually prefer the 1st

I thought it was very good but I had all the same issues you did. But a big improvement over one
11:05 SPOILER ALERT 🚨 I did not want to know this!
I love how Brian pronounces « denis villeneuve »😅
I’m french canadian and his prononciation is very good.
I did not feel the length at all, I felt like it was half its actual running time!
A spectacular 8?
I’ve heard the exact opposite. I’ve seen atleast 10 reviews say they wish they had another hour lol The Batman dragged on!
No spoilers yet shows half the movie
I think for it to be no spoilers you're supposed to listen only, the video is definitely all spoilers.
@@-Olea- Had to turn it off. avoided even watching trailers. Saw In IMAX last night..Can't wait to view again
Do you have to watch the first movie to get DUNE 2 or watch it alone???
Yes, part 1 is important in the lead up to part 2 :)
Honestly, not a DUNE fan either. J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of Lord of the Rings was not a fan either. Guess we are all in good company.
This is cinema and best picture contender.
Thats what you get not getting part 1 best picture nincompoops
It's a great movie but nothing compared to The Two Towers from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Villeneuve is not as excellent as Peter Jackson when it comes to dialogues.
The Dark Knight or Dune: Part 2; which is better?
Dune 2
Austinbutler ❤
This is cinema
Austin Butler looks like the creature from the 2009 movie Splice.
I didnt like dune.
It was huge and big and over the top but BORING
Huge score, huge set pieces, huge vfxs. The story was so dull
Dune 2 is a completely different movie. It's an action flick with a fantasticly simple but deep story
It is a masterpiece. And you should have mentioned the costume designs
It was booooring, just so much sand

@@YtuMamaTambien22 Lol, troll. Fremen fighting the Harkonen literally... Twice. Literally opening scene and at the 40 minute spot.
The movie is the highest rated on IMDB and 97% RT score, so deal with it troll. People love it. Go watch it and you'll see.
