Souhelia Yacoub and I were classmates together in acting school in Paris for 4 years. We spent nearly everyday together in school, she's fantastic and I'm very happy for her!
I CANT WAIT ANYMOREE. THIS IS MY SHITTTT. And yes...WE NEED MESSIAH. Such a powerfull book that would probably make this one of the best trilogys of all time!
I actually really liked the first Dune movie (though I agree that is has some pacing issues) so I can only imagine how much I will love this one if it's an improvement as big as the one from BB to TDK.
I as a dune Stan was adamant the general audience would love the second one but there was no way to do it all in one. So I get It but it was not possible
I always thought Batman Begins was an average movie but it took me years to realise just how good it was when I rewatched it a couple of years ago. I have a new found appreciation for a movie I always thought was the weakest of the trilogy.
If Rebecca Ferguson was a brown or black woman, Grace would lavish Ferguson with praise. Grace seems to be ashamed to be white, and takes every opportunity to flaunt her love of minorities to the world. As an Indian man, I find her overtures transparent and laughable. I agree, Ferguson is amazing in everything she does. She project strength, has a regal air about her, and she is beautiful while being fierce and conveying intelligence.
Grace is sometimes clueless! Like is this world in the past or future. The first movie stated at the beginning it was the year 10000 something. And computers caused the war! Amongst other things that show it in the future!
@@manantial773it was better than mediocre, not amazing, but good. Great lines from the film: “It seems you took my advice on theatricality a bit literally” “Like your father you lack the will to do what is necessary” 🤌
Grace, if it helps you to figure out whether Star Wars takes place in the past or the future, it takes place "a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away." There's a subtle clue there.
As someone who did not read the books. Oh MAN YOU WOULD NOT believe the amount of tabs I had open in order to do research for this film and the lore for everything. I am super happy and pleased that I did cause now reading about it. Its incredible. And Denis Villeneuve does a great job!
OMG! I saw it last night at midnight n it was awesome. There were no more tickets for this weekend so had to order for March 2 for my parents, my GF, n me. I really can’t wait to experience it again.
Dune part 1 was slow paced and people nowadays want all the flashy stuff right away i guess, they don't care about build up and storyline that develops things over time.....what if Dune 1 just started with the whole base scene and then jump to him right away joining the Fremen... then blah blah blah such a bad movie because everything happened so fast ugh......sometimes there's stuff that needs to be told first and it's not all action scenes, people seem to have a lot less patience
Dune part 1 was amazing, up there with BR2049 for one of my best movie experiences ever. That said, it was basically just me in the VMAX cinema. Was like being transported to a different world.
Dune part 1 didn't flesh out any of their characters. They came played their part and died. No impact whatsoever. They chose style over substance over the scenes they cut.
@@doyourmath826God Emperor of Dune (Book 4) is my favorite sequel, but the writers would have to make some significant changes to the source material in order to make an effective screenplay. That being said, I’d love to see it happen.

Dune 1 didn’t make a mistake. There was just no way to do the story justice in one movie. If you watch it again as one you will enjoy it more to those who didn’t like it.
how much of it is inspired by Islam. My friend was telling me that it is supposed to be a Muslim group (the fremen) and a lot of concepts in the novels are from islam like Fiqh, Ilm, Mesaiyah etc.
Didn't Dune part 1 release during the pandemic? I'm pretty sure that's why it didn't do very well. The Dune brand is very popular and the book was amazing back in the day. Part 1 sets everything up and part 2 should definitely knock it out of the park due to all of the reveals and events that I know will happen. Part 1 was a masterfully done.

@@C-Bee i do think the fight/invasion sequence is the climax of the story. And the ending as when they’re kind of “rescued” by the fremen. but i do think the end is kind of the beginning of the next movie.
Grace I think Nolan doing such a big IP like BATMAN for 3 movies led to his popularity among most mainstream audiences. Denis has taken properties way less mainstream and artsy like blade runner and now dune and isn’t exactly lending himself to as many mainstream ppl as Batman
The true risk of splitting the first book into 2 movies was how the public would view the first movie vs the second movie given the second movie had all the action. Being that I read the 6 books of the original dune by frank herbert, the first movie was amazing. For those who didn’t read the books, I can see how the first movie didn’t seem all that great. I am glad to see that Villanueve was successful in bringing the first book in 2 parts while remaining decently faithful to the source material. If he had attempted to deliver dune just like in 1984, the movie would have fallen flat on its face. From my perspective, villanueve was caught between a rock and a hard place and yet he yielded a masterpiece in the first film
I think it was a huge disservice to break it into two parts bc i can imagine in one sitting watching the beginning and seeing the slow downhill trajectory….I think part 2 kinda was disconnected from what happened in 1
A masterpiece for the first is a reach if I've seen one. The movie had no climax, no ending, no resolution. Can't be a masterpiece without that. It was a great movie but it very clearly ends aroundish the halfway mark in the book, so I'm not blaming Dennis. But the second movie is on another level compared to the first, something worthy of the title. Either way, I cannot wait to see what he does Messiah and how he's going to tie some of his changes that he's already made.
@@queenb2450You cannot make the first book into a singular movie though, it's impossible so he had no choice if you want it to be good. It has way, way too much content in there to rush for 3 hours. Dennis even cut a bunch of content (understandable) just to make it it fit for a 5 hour length double movie feature. There's about 8-9 hours worth of content that he condensed into 5 which was amazing to see.
The people who keep expecting Austin Butler to act like Elvis in everything need to watch or re-watch him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The guy can act and it's not like he sprouted out of nowhere to act like Elvis in everything he does going forward. Happy to hear the rave reviews he's been getting for his role as Feyd.
The Elvis movie has such a chokehold on people. When will people stop harassing Austin Butler about his temporary Elvis inflection? Johnny Depp still sounds like Jack Sparrow even though he was born in the South and nobody talks about it
Pugh is the next Scarlett Johansson....smart, beautiful, and talented. Hopefully, she won't get swallowed up by Marvel and will continue bringing herself into more projects in the future.
I think if you don’t care about spoilers for the third film you should listen to Quinn’s ideas videos summarizing Dune. The books cover more of the philosophy, reading it is really hard. But the concepts offered are really beautiful and intricate. The first 2 movies are just a taste of the iceberg. Also, finish Young Justice season 4 and watch the Arkham City cutscenes hahaha. You’re missing out on the good stuff, take your business hat off for a bit and make time for these things. Talk about emotionally moving surprises
Hey Grace, just so you know Dune part 2 is still adapting the first book, Dune Messiah is one of the most depressing books I`ve ever read, And they would have to change it immensely to make it commercial, I wonder if this movie makes a buck if they would try and even more curious if they would succeed...
Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood when I watched the first movie but it bored me. Beautiful but I often lost interest. I’ll try watching it before the sequel to see if I can learn to love it lol.
14:20 dune is one of her best performances I think she really shines in this role, I think this is the sort of role that suits her, the more serious artistic movie.
Glad you liked the movie Grace. Bear in mind the reason the book(s) were so popular was because of the complexity of the ideas - it is a science fiction classic.
The issue I had with the first movie is that they did so little to explain stuff. Like the spice. I know it’s a metaphor for oil, but I have no idea what it does in this world.
The emotion… being able to connect with the characters is the true magic of any book is what Brandon Sanderson (fantasy writer) said when describing his first ever book “Elantris” and I 100% believe that principle carries over into all forms of media
I think Denis next film will be Cleopatra starring Zendaya. He said that he was gonna do an another film before he was going to do Dune 3 and he also said he isn’t doing Dune 4.
Freemen struggle with colonisation? Wait till we get to God Emperor of Dune . Also the Freemen were colonists too , from before the tech wars against AI . That is why they are gene moded (just like bene gesserit, and later fish talkers) , savage , but access to some tech bordering on "magic" .
I love how they have accurate eye colors in this movie. More casting issues would be solved with eye color contacts and proper color hair colors. Excited to see this.
First dune was way better! part 2 felt rushed at the end. They was also some weird editing going on when Paul was riding the sandworm. Oh and you could tell that there were reshoots. Stuff was definitely cut out.
I’ve had Dune:Part 1 on my DVR since 3/26/2022 when it premiered on HBO and was reluctant to watch it because I was a fan of Dune 1984 and was afraid it would be a letdown from Lynch’s Dune. I FINALLY decided to watch it this morning and now I can’t wait to see Part 2 at my local IMAX theater. 👍
Thanks, Grace! I already knew I was going to like it (Imma die-hard Duner) but knowing you had such a great experience with part 2 makes my anticipation all the better. Can. Not. WAIT!
Glad you liked it! I plan to see it twice to support it. I feel the issue is that this isn't a sequel - it's the remaining acts from the first movie. I didn't even want my wife to watch the first movie until now so it's fresh going into this. I still recommend you read the source. DV has worked hard to stay true to it which I respect and I believe you'll get a lot out of it. Yes I want Dune Messiah, but know that there's no other point like the second half of Dune. It's great and it completes the story of Paul, but think of it like Godfather Part 2 vs 1.
As an outsider who hasn't seen Dune 2, I don't know why Grace Randolph says this movie is based on Dune Messiah since I've assumed Dune 1 and 2 are based on the original Dune novel while Dune 3 will be based on Dune Messiah (Frank Herbert's second novel of his Dune books). Is Grace hinting that part of Dune Messiah novel included in the second movie?
You’ve had the best review so far lady! Whether you like something or not you at least explain your opinion. So many don’t and that shows lack of credibility and objectivity. Your non spoiler analysis is awesome. Personal opinions are welcomed but a critic needs to go deeper and step outside of themselves. Solid 👏
If we get Sicario Denis, instead of Blade Runner/Dune 1 Denis, it stands a chance to be a commercial success, and start a Nolan-lite ascent. I love cerebral sci-fi to death, but I don’t repeat view at the theater Of course, I’m the type of person who thinks the first half of Lynch’s Dune is near perfect. It’s just the latter half that’s a wreck
Grace Dune 1 did very well considering it came out during Covid. This sequel will do very well as they are promoting the hell out of it and word of mouth will be good.
Been following you for 10 years now. And I’ve got to say, this is my most anticipated review from you EVER! So glad you loved it as much as you did. I wanted to thank you for all the videos those ten years of following you. As an aspiring journalist and hopefully future movie critic, I learn loads from your channel. Thank you for that Grace ❤
No comment on Audio? Next to the visuals that was one of the best parts of Dune one. Effort and attention into the sound was incredible. Great review though
14:17 Zendaya’s great. Her development has been a joy to watch. And she IS 1000% ready to shoulder movies on her own. It’s really great to see a young actress hold it together in this day & age, get better, and on top of that, choose great projects. Not sure how long she’s been in the game. Often it seems like they just show up as a lead one day, when in reality she’s probably been acting since she was a young child. Certainly her early music career made her comfortable in front of audiences and physically able to do different things. I’m really impressed by her.
The Bagpipes were used to take Scots regiments and warriors into battle. They marched at the front. It worked. All to inspire the men. There's reason why the German's called them Devils in Skirts. As for the second film, eh, wyat did you think it would be? Hardly an unknown story.
Great review, Grace! Can’t wait! IMAX and premium seats are filling up fast here in Dallas for opening weekend! Even some theaters with basic seats and screens are filling up. I really think opening weekend is gonna be big! $150M opening weekend big!

When will people stop harassing Austin Butler about his temporary Elvis inflection? Johnny Depp still sounds like Jack Sparrow even though he was born in the South and nobody talks about it
Even though Grace doesn't bother to mention it, Hans Zimmer's score is outstanding in this one!
It's not a white saviour kind of story. Read the books, Grace. D books warns against d dangers of making saviours ans messiahs of pple
Pugh is the next Scarlett Johansson....smart, beautiful, and talented. Hopefully, she won't get swallowed up by Marvel and will continue bringing herself into more projects in the future.
I think if you don’t care about spoilers for the third film you should listen to Quinn’s ideas videos summarizing Dune. The books cover more of the philosophy, reading it is really hard. But the concepts offered are really beautiful and intricate. The first 2 movies are just a taste of the iceberg. Also, finish Young Justice season 4 and watch the Arkham City cutscenes hahaha. You’re missing out on the good stuff, take your business hat off for a bit and make time for these things. Talk about emotionally moving surprises
Fine I will go see Dune 2😎🤣🎥
YESSSS CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE AND ZENDAYA. THANKS FOR THE REVIEW GRACE ❤
The ambiguity is so important. It's the one major thing the Lynch version and the SciFi mini series just didn't understand.
Batman Begins to The Dark Knight is INSANE
Hey Grace, just so you know Dune part 2 is still adapting the first book, Dune Messiah is one of the most depressing books I`ve ever read, And they would have to change it immensely to make it commercial, I wonder if this movie makes a buck if they would try and even more curious if they would succeed...
Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood when I watched the first movie but it bored me. Beautiful but I often lost interest. I’ll try watching it before the sequel to see if I can learn to love it lol.
Definitely watch both parts at the cinema 🐛
14:20 dune is one of her best performances I think she really shines in this role, I think this is the sort of role that suits her, the more serious artistic movie.
Glad you liked the movie Grace. Bear in mind the reason the book(s) were so popular was because of the complexity of the ideas - it is a science fiction classic.
The Batman comparisons has me so excited. Tickets already purchased for Dolby on the 29th
The issue I had with the first movie is that they did so little to explain stuff. Like the spice. I know it’s a metaphor for oil, but I have no idea what it does in this world.
HERE’S TO MARCH 1ST!!!!!
Thimothee Chalamet hes just a generational talent. The last one who get that impact its maybe Leonardo Dicaprio !
I love how you say Pew with a higher pitch.... Every. Single. Time. 😂
So IT IS the Empire Strikes of Star Wars
No The Empire Strikes back is the Dune Part 2
We Dune book fans have been singing the praises of this story since the first movie, our faith is now being rewarded!
The emotion… being able to connect with the characters is the true magic of any book is what Brandon Sanderson (fantasy writer) said when describing his first ever book “Elantris” and I 100% believe that principle carries over into all forms of media
I loved the first Dune. I rewatched recently and really don’t understand the boring claims.
I think Denis next film will be Cleopatra starring Zendaya. He said that he was gonna do an another film before he was going to do Dune 3 and he also said he isn’t doing Dune 4.
Freemen struggle with colonisation? Wait till we get to God Emperor of Dune . Also the Freemen were colonists too , from before the tech wars against AI . That is why they are gene moded (just like bene gesserit, and later fish talkers) , savage , but access to some tech bordering on "magic" .
I actually prefer Batman Begins. That's my controversial post for the day.
My brother said he fell asleep during Dune 1. He read the story synopsis and said the movie sounds like it was good. Lol
I love how they have accurate eye colors in this movie. More casting issues would be solved with eye color contacts and proper color hair colors. Excited to see this.
GOD I cannot wait to see this move like 10 times over. IMAX, Dolby and RPX.
First dune was way better! part 2 felt rushed at the end. They was also some weird editing going on when Paul was riding the sandworm. Oh and you could tell that there were reshoots. Stuff was definitely cut out.
*The time finally arrived*
I’ve had Dune:Part 1 on my DVR since 3/26/2022 when it premiered on HBO and was reluctant to watch it because I was a fan of Dune 1984 and was afraid it would be a letdown from Lynch’s Dune.
I FINALLY decided to watch it this morning and now I can’t wait to see Part 2 at my local IMAX theater. 👍
YESSS! My most anticipated film of the year, I LOVE the book series. Can’t wait!
Thanks, Grace! I already knew I was going to like it (Imma die-hard Duner) but knowing you had such a great experience with part 2 makes my anticipation all the better. Can. Not. WAIT!
This is one of your best reviews! Thank you! I am so excited to see this movie! It looks so epic and fantastic.
Everyone who read the book knew that the second part would pack a lot more action, and it delivered
Dune 1 was awesome, so I can't watch the rest of this review 😅
Glad you liked it! I plan to see it twice to support it. I feel the issue is that this isn't a sequel - it's the remaining acts from the first movie. I didn't even want my wife to watch the first movie until now so it's fresh going into this. I still recommend you read the source. DV has worked hard to stay true to it which I respect and I believe you'll get a lot out of it. Yes I want Dune Messiah, but know that there's no other point like the second half of Dune. It's great and it completes the story of Paul, but think of it like Godfather Part 2 vs 1.
As an outsider who hasn't seen Dune 2, I don't know why Grace Randolph says this movie is based on Dune Messiah since I've assumed Dune 1 and 2 are based on the original Dune novel while Dune 3 will be based on Dune Messiah (Frank Herbert's second novel of his Dune books). Is Grace hinting that part of Dune Messiah novel included in the second movie?
You’ve had the best review so far lady! Whether you like something or not you at least explain your opinion. So many don’t and that shows lack of credibility and objectivity. Your non spoiler analysis is awesome. Personal opinions are welcomed but a critic needs to go deeper and step outside of themselves. Solid 👏
Her review is horrible 😂 Dune Part 1 was great likewise to Batman Begins
@@mattymoore6981 Is that comparison the only thing you didn’t like?
her reviews are horrible . her logic for her reason i am like wow . i can’t .
It’s okay
Zendaya is not “the girlfriend “ in Euphoria and she’s awesome.
Now I’m even more excited. Couldn’t wait to see it and now I really can’t wait
When you split a book, the first half typically isn't going to be as much fun. Look at The Deathly Hallows.
Zendaya appeals to everyone! Time to level up queen! Hated dune can’t wait for dune 2 😂 🤷🏻♂️
If we get Sicario Denis, instead of Blade Runner/Dune 1 Denis, it stands a chance to be a commercial success, and start a Nolan-lite ascent. I love cerebral sci-fi to death, but I don’t repeat view at the theater
Of course, I’m the type of person who thinks the first half of Lynch’s Dune is near perfect. It’s just the latter half that’s a wreck
Isn't the bagpipe player from the first Dune movie played by Hans Zimmer? lol
It looks so much like him! Hilarious
Yeah it's him
Grace Dune 1 did very well considering it came out during Covid. This sequel will do very well as they are promoting the hell out of it and word of mouth will be good.
Only movie I’m interested in seeing in theaters this year. I’ll be there.
Book readers are screaming "read the books" 😂. We know it's good, keep watching 😉
The delay really hurts it’s awards chances. It will be relegated to only below the line, even the only VFX maybe. Regardless of how great it may be.
Even Rebecca Ferguson? Wtf, she’s always awesome
Been following you for 10 years now. And I’ve got to say, this is my most anticipated review from you EVER! So glad you loved it as much as you did.
I wanted to thank you for all the videos those ten years of following you. As an aspiring journalist and hopefully future movie critic, I learn loads from your channel. Thank you for that Grace ❤
No comment on Audio? Next to the visuals that was one of the best parts of Dune one. Effort and attention into the sound was incredible. Great review though
lol Space Karens definitely describe the Ben Gesserit pretty acurately
Buzz is great for this second Dune movie. Great to see a new generation of actors taking the forefront.
BR2049 may have tanked, but it was an excellent movie. In fact, it’s my favourite cinema experience to date.
I thought most people agreed Batman Begins was great?
14:17 Zendaya’s great. Her development has been a joy to watch. And she IS 1000% ready to shoulder movies on her own. It’s really great to see a young actress hold it together in this day & age, get better, and on top of that, choose great projects. Not sure how long she’s been in the game. Often it seems like they just show up as a lead one day, when in reality she’s probably been acting since she was a young child. Certainly her early music career made her comfortable in front of audiences and physically able to do different things. I’m really impressed by her.
and she's so beautiful 🥺
The Bagpipes were used to take Scots regiments and warriors into battle. They marched at the front. It worked. All to inspire the men. There's reason why the German's called them Devils in Skirts.
As for the second film, eh, wyat did you think it would be? Hardly an unknown story.
Great review, Grace! Can’t wait! IMAX and premium seats are filling up fast here in Dallas for opening weekend! Even some theaters with basic seats and screens are filling up. I really think opening weekend is gonna be big! $150M opening weekend big!
