I honestly felt the pacing of the movie was way too fast. I think that Dune Part 2 needed it's own Part 2. This film should have been more about Paul learning the ways of the desert and fighting the Harkonnens, as well as giving more substance and believability to Paul and Chani's relationship. And we wouldn't just focus on Paul, but we'd also take the time to explore Jessica and how she converts Sietch Tabr to the prophecy, her growing powers and connection to her daughter, and make us care for the city as a whole. And we'd also give Feyd-Rautha more screentime and show more of Giedi Prime and how he's a psychopath and how he succeeds in countering the Fremen where Rabban failed. Dune Part 2 as I see it, would have ended with Paul's decision to go South. Then we open with Part 3 and that movie plays more into the revelation that Jessica is Baron Harkonnen's daughter, that Paul has Harkonnen blood because it needed to be handled better than just a couple of one-off lines. There should have been more focus on what the Water of Life did to Paul, more visions now that he can see them coherently, and his exploitation and taking control of the Fremen. The manipulations of the Fundamentalists and Paul and Chani falling out of love with each other. A better build up to the final confrontation, a more coherent final battle with the Sardaukar and later Feyd-Rautha. Also I wouldn't have cast Christopher Walken as the Emperor and would have instead cast Willem Dafoe. That way there's actual energy to the role instead of an old man in a nursing home gown looking like he wandered onto the movie set. That way the entire first book is a trilogy. I've seen it said that my ideas would make the movies too slow and plodding for the runtime, but this is just an overview of the ideas. DV and Jon Spaights would be able to make it interesting but from the narrative and visual perspective. And then with the first book being a trilogy, that allows a relative open slate going forward into Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. But hey, even if DV had to include the weirdness with Jessica talking to Alia at least he didn't have Alia as barely a toddler waddle out and end the movie by screaming 'KWISATZ HADERACH'.

Saw it on IMAX tonight. Mind blown away. Thank you Mr. Villeneuve for putting such a great book on the screen.

Amazing movie - acting, action, visuals, soundtrack - Denis is a master of immersively pulling all the elements together. Some scenes just blew me away!

Réalisateur et conteur extraordinaire. Québécois inspirant qui entre par la grande porte dans le panthéon de notre Histoire. Quel bonheur et quelle fierté de voir, encore une fois, le monde dérouler le tapis rouge pour un autre talent (ils sont nombreux) de chez nous qui parle avec son coeur et surtout, avec son accent décomplexé de Québécois tellement doux à mes oreilles. Un peu de chauvinisme n'a jamais tué personne. ;) Bravo Denis ! :D

I just saw Dune Part Two... All I can say is that thank you Mr. Villeneuve for this masterpiece...

Denis, my hero! Such a humble man that is able to create the greatest pieces of cinema out there! The way his tactile cinematography works with lots of closeups you can almost touch, the way he uses pause and silence between the characters to emphasize the drama and tension, the way he uses shadows and highlights on wide angle shots and now IR photography - is simply out of this world. Saw Dune2 two days ago and cannot wait to see it *at least* several more times in cinema.

A litteral translation to "une araignée dans le plafond" would be "a spider on the ceiling", but he's on point with the "mind"

Dennis is a very big Radiohead fan, he put Spinning Plates and You and Whose Army twice in Incendies, and Codex in Prisoners

Life is full of surprises. I'm from Quebec and I grew up knowing Denis' French films. One of them, ''Un 32 Aout sur Terre'' ( ''August 32, on Earth''), was a little romantic comedy that won awards here and there. We could already guess the greatness of the man. But if someone had told me at that time that our little Quebec filmmaker would go and direct the sequel to ''Blade Runner'' and ''Dune'' and that he would be compared to the best filmakers (the likes of Christopher Nolan), I would have said the same thing Don Rickles said to Charlton Heston: ''If you were Moses, i was a Mau Mau fighter pilot'' That's our Denis, for crying out loud. Look at him.

@@chewy1709 That was a nice thing to say. We, Quebecers, have a troubled relationship with self-affirmation as well as our place in Canadian society. When some of our compatriots such as Denis, Céline and Rocket Richard, to name a few, shine on the world stage, we can puff out our chests a little with pride.

He’s so wonderful. What a humble good man

Loved it. Can’t wait for Messiah, the last page of that book is such a beautiful end for a film trilogy. Also I love that Colbert, as the world’s premier Tolkien fan, locks in to the created Fremen language for most of the interview. So hype!

i love this guy! every movie of his is so re-watchable, so thoughtful.

If he stopped making movies after Dune 2 he would still be considered one of the greatest directors of all time in my opinion. I can't wait to see what other projects we get from him in the future. He will go down as one of the absolute greats.

I’ve seen it twice already. Screening in IMAX is amazing

I've seen it in 70mm, which was an experience I won't forget. Will have to rewatch it in IMAX. Not to compare, necessarily, but to experience it again.

The Bends is such a niche choice for an entrance song

I just saw part 2 last night in the theater and I was blown away about how good it was/is. I plan on seeing it several more times in the theater. I would say that Mr. Villeneuve has done for Frank Herbert's "Dune" works what Peter Jackson has done for Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". A director passionate about his work, keeping as faithful to the original source as possible (the book), and a great cast that is/was equally passionate about putting out a great project. While the 1984 version starring Kyle McLachlan, Sean Young, and Sting was decent, director David Lynch (before disavowing the work and the director being reworked as the fictitious Alan Smithee) did veer from the novel in many ways. I sincerely hope Mr. Villeneuve completes his trilogy and adapts "Dune: Messiah" to the big screen.

@thefirst9500

It seems like the movie is having an excellent start so far. At least the critical reception is great (audience too I think). Here's to hoping part 3 gets made! Lynch's version at least had the merit of turning me onto the books. But I think Herbert's estate must be even more delighted with Villeneuve's movies, the book being sold out and all.

Villeneuve est un réalisateur extrêmement talentueux. L'une de nos fiertés au Québec. Sicario and the Arrival were amazing.

I love this man's work so much - his films have such a striking, sometimes even visceral, visual style watching them is like swimming in a sea of sensuality. Truly a visionary!

I’m so thankful to be around during these times where Denis and Nolan are giving us some of the most amazingly crafted film work to ever exist. Truly we should all be grateful to be around during these two’s prime.

LSSC, this interview is fantastic. An interviewer true to the books and not new to the books discussing these Works of Art with another lover of the series who happens to be the Director. Bravo Stephen Colbert and the LSSC Production team. Bravo Magnifico to the Director and entire production team and cast for 'Dune' and 'Dune part 2'. I, with near-reverence, patiently look forward to 'Dune Messiah'

Watched it and man it really stands for everything they say out there best sci-fi movie of the decade ❤.

"We did it again". That's why Denis is my favorite director. I love this man!

I am so proud to see him,... 🙂 Being a Québécois, I have known him for more than 30 years Denis Villeneuve. Bravo !

I watched Dune part 2 in IMAX last night and It most definitely does live up to the hype. I had hair-raising goosebumps pretty much throughout the entire film. It truly is a masterpiece in Sci Fi.

I do hope they don't stop with Messiah, all the books deserve a film.

Proud that we are both from Montréal, and that I had the honour of being in one of his works- a compassionate and creative soul. Mérci Denis!

Best director of the 21st century so far.

Dune 2 was completely amazing, peak scifi filmmaking ! Good job Denis, what an inspiration

There’s something about what this guy does that recalls a few of those visionary filmmakers through the decades, like Fritz Lang, David Lean and Stanley Kubrick. He’s putting a fresh battery in this thing.

This guy is fast creating a body of amazing work. The Dune films, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, The Arrival, etc. Him and Nolan pretty much run Hollywood now

Heard it here! Denis is finishing his Paul arc with an adaptation of Messiah and I am 100% ok and thrilled eith that. That's what I and many others wanted. A complete trilogy (with maybe a hint of what could happen next). I rather be in curious awe instead of force fed chapter after chapter after chapter. This made my day/night. I can't wait!

I'll be watching tonite, and again on Sunday. Dune is the only movie I've ever felt the need to watch again immediately after the first screening. I have foreseen that I will feel the same about Dune 2.
