My favourite part of how he confronts the war council is how he refuses to abide by tradition to take stilgar's life and straight up calls them out on the absurdity of the notion of killing perfectly competent comrades. The line where he goes "would you shatter your knife before battle" sounds so cathartic when he yells it out.

Really? I absolutely adored this movie, seeing it in IMAX was something else however that scene was so underwhelming, it was somehow even more so than the fight between Paul and Jamis at the end of the first one. It also really annoyed me that the Emperor and Princess Irulan were just sort of…standing there at the side instead of being perched on thrones to see the fight, there was just no awe or decadence to the Emperor in the movie and it kind of felt like a waste tbh. However mostly everything else was absolutely amazing and I loved it so much and definitely seeing it again

Crazy how Disney and Marvel movies have double the budget and look like CGI garage!!! Dune, take a screenshot at any moment and it would be an art piece!

I don’t usually give praise like this, but that scene of Paul approaching millions of his followers as he steps into his power…that was the coolest, most exhilarating entrance I’ve ever seen in a movie.

The Chani closeup during the final big fight mimicking the first film's vision (that was played in the trailer forever) got a gasp from me. Wow. Chani in the last 15 minutes also got me a few times like damn I feel so much for her. Paul's turn in front of all of the Fremen was insanely powerful from Timmy and as a character for Paul. Paul's first worm ride scene was absolutely thrilling. Sound was thunderous and scale was epic.

From someone very skeptical of Zendaya as Chani.. the slow transformation to a tormented lover at the latter third of the movie - even though this was not in the book - drove home the heart wrenching experience of seeing someone you deeply love and adore become the very person you will blame for causing galactic pain and sorrow. And Zendaya nailed that pain and anguish. She did a solid job as Chani. She became the heart of the movie adaptation of Dune, and frankly I'm slowly coming to like DV interpretation of what Chani should be going through in the lead up to Paul's transformation to become Lisan Al Gaib.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen many people talking about this, but I feel like Denis is setting up a “Dune: Part 3” rather than “Dune: Messiah” if you know what I mean. We end off on such a different place after Part 2 and the text of Dune: Messiah does not lend itself to being a very cinematic conclusion to a trilogy. I think we will see an adaptation of the holy war that spans some of the time between the two books as well as intertwining major plot points from Messiah, ending the film where Messiah ends.

Felt very similarly to you on all points. Re: Paul’s “abrupt” turn, the before and after made sense to me and didn’t feel abrupt or rushed, but I understand how a viewer could feel that. I had a friend who also just wished he’d seen more of Paul’s visions and thought that maybe that would have helped understand that turn and his decision, but I love that they chose to keep that out of view. We weren’t seeing it from Paul’s perspective, we saw his decision from Chani’s perspective, very literally in the southern council scene. You feel like a spectator alongside Chani and Stilgar, and so you don’t see his visions or fully understand what he’s about, but you see him working signs and prophecy. The film really allowed the viewer to make their own faith decision about Paul’s messianism. And it made me really think about the fundamentals of what is faith? What is truth? What is a real messiah? Stilgar seemed like the true believer but his faith was much more the zealot who wants to believe because the point of his faith was a messiah who would lead them to freedom and victory, not a messiah who had some other message like living simply and humbly in love and service or something.

@jadencasto

Great take. Everyone loves to bash on the Fremen and their supposed “blind faith,” but Paul is literally fulfilling prophesies that are centuries old, and then he does lead them to victory and liberate them from their captures. Now, Messiah will explore the other ramifications of all that happened in Dune, but the idea that the Fremen were blind, mindless fanatics is unfair.

My only real criticism is I wanted to see more of the battle and more of Paul falling in love. That part felt slightly rushed. I want a 4 hour movie 😂 when they are this good movies being long don’t bother me at all. Best scene was the Paul silencing the Reverend Mother. So good

Drinking the Water of Life and undergoing the Spice Agony did not "mess Jessica up". What it did do was make her a full Reverend Mother and opened up Other Memory to her, the ancestral memories of all the Reverend Mothers that came before her. It also greatly expanded her powers and her consciousness. As a Bene Gesserit Sister, Jessica spent her entire like training and preparing for the Spice Agony, a sacred ritual that could have also killed her. What she did after was in accordance with her bound duty as a Reverend Mother to help achieve the plans set forth centuries earlier in the Missionaria Protectevia which seeded religious beliefs on Dune (and other planets) to help achieve the Sisterhoods goal of creating the Kwisatz Haderach and steering the course of human history. Once Jessica became a Reverend Mother, she was then on the same level as RM Giaus Helen Mohiam with the same sense of responsibility at ensuring the Sisterhood's millinia long plans. As for Paul drinking the Water of Life, that's another complicated story because he was a male.

Having read more into the book series, while what Paul sets in motion is bloody and tyrannical, it's the best possible path to salvation. It's explained more in book 4, God Emperor of Dune.

Up until the very end, I did perceive Paul as the hero and thought I was watching a true "savior" story. When it hit me that that's not what I was actually watching....that's when I realized how f'n amazing this movie and story is. Got the book ordered, can't wait to read it.

From the very beginning there were these very small moments that already had me in awe of what Denis and his team did for Dune. One example is with our first shot of Paul lying in the sand, listening, waiting. He looks over to Stilgar, yet we don't know that Stilgar is there. Instead it's as if he's looking at us, and the shot lingers a bit. Something about that felt poetic, and I thought that I was about to watch something profound. Then, on a larger scale, there is the scene in which Paul gives his speech to the Fremen. I was fighting myself with tears and a quivering lip, trying not to sob out loud in the theater. That scene was so powerful to me that, as an atheist, I was emotionally, even physically, reminded of how people could come to believe, with such fervor, in a religion, in a god. I feel so grateful to be alive during this period in film history. To experience Dune in IMAX, both Part 1 and 2, feels like a gift.

I’m going again on Friday. So excited

As someone with a similar experience with religion and revelation, the parts in the movie that dealt with belief Vs non-belief really resonated with me. It was brilliantly handled.

Are you gonna do another Denis Villeneuve tier list or another Christopher Nolan vs. Denis Villeneuve tier list in honor of Dune: Part Two?

Dune part 2 made A LOT of major changes from the book to the movie, the biggest one being Chani’s and Paul’s relationship, which will heavily impact the next movie. The next movie is up in the air for how it’s going to go for sure, and I think it’s going to be very detached from the book. I personally believe that the next dune movie will not do the 12 year time leap and take place shortly after the events of part 2, giving us a look at the holy war while trying to incorporate the events of messiah as well

I'm right there with you, my brother. This film is a masterpiece. I've watched it 2 times and this week week I'll watch it again.

@Austin Burke do new villeneuve ranking

[WARNING: MESSIAH & DUNE BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD!] In the novel Dune, the Fremen are all true believers including Chani. I like Denis making her and the younger generation skeptics while the elders & Stilgar were the true believers because it gave the Fremen as a whole more depth and dimension. In the Dune novel there's a two-year time jump after Jessica takes the Water of Life and becomes the new Reverend Mother to the Fremen. In that time Paul and Chani have a son who is later murdered by a Sardaukar attack in a southern sietch where they've hidden him towards the end of the novel. Alia has become a 2 year old toddler with the same other memories, knowledge, and experiences of all the Reverend Mothers that are now inside Jessica (which happened when Jessica drank the Water of Life while pregnant), and everyone is terrified of her because she's weird AF (and they should be.) There's a 12-year time jump between Dune and Dune Messiah. Paul is Emperor, has married Irulan as a purely political move and never touched her. Chani is Paul's bound concubine like Jessica was Leto's. They've been trying to have another child but Irulan has secretly been feeding Chani contraceptives in her food because she thinks Paul will eventually turn to her to carry on his bloodline and give him an heir. Alia is 14, and falls in love with a ghola (fully formed adult clone) of Duncan Idaho created to serve and eventually be triggered into killing Paul. I don't see Denis going completely rogue and changing Messiah too much, so I've no idea where he picks up the story - after the time jump? How do Chani and Paul reunite, because she's integral to the plot of Dune Messiah and the sequel, Children of Dune (which finishes Paul's story.) Giving that role to Irualan would I think be a bridge too far for book readers, as Irulan is (understandably-mostly) horrible, and Chani & Paul are one of the great love stories in modern fiction. (Maybe... due to his heightened prescience now that he's taken the Water of Life he knows where her Sandworm will exhaust itself and he's there waiting for her (having taken a thropter), and explains to her(quoting from the book): "{she} shall have no more of me than my name. No child of mine nor touch nor softness of glance, nor instant of desire.” They reunite, and then there's a 14 year time jump.)

Saw it for the 4th time in IMAX, has anyone seen it in Dolby? I’m interested in trying that format

thought like the first movie, the action scenes were shafted so badly. Great setup, atmosphere and cinematography. But ends in a few shots and it cuts to the main crew getting where they need to with what it feels like ZERO resistance. Paul and gang seems like they just strolled into the Emperor's room after the worms. I guess denis Villanueve just doesn't want to spend too much time on a grand action scene, but instead give us some great long shots. But for an epic sci-fi, just chuck us a bone give us an amazing grand action sequence.

So sad that the character Thufir Hawat was not in the movie but other than that I have no complaints.

Javier deserves a Grammy for his performance

I thought the fans in the colosseum doing the same thing was intentional. Like they were synchronized in-world and on purpose, not for lazy cgi reasons.

I just realized I got Baron Harkonen mixed up with the Emporer. Not his aunt.

There's a *sinister thread* running through it, which is the *spotlight* that got me going 🤨...Initially, 'crowded' my brain, as just not 'understandable plot' *- but* the 'killing off' of each other's 'roots/bloodline' as the urgency/revenge progresses...Interesting, these people, human Father, die, and triggered, 'The Messiah' acts upon his Grandfather too! Not a 'bright Messiah' future, maybe - but it has supporters - the narrative is a little less blur now😉☺

While there are things that I like in this one over the first film, I wasn't the biggest fan of some of ways this film chose to do the progression of time and how some of the scenes transitioned to another narrative. Due to how much material is being covered in the film, some elements needs to progress in a faster pace and it sorta feels like a shock when that occurs.

I loved this movie, ive also read the books Masterpiece Cant wait for dune messiah.....

I thought he chose Florence Pugh because he had the vision of Chani dying so he’s trying to distance himself from her in order to save her. Am I interpreting that wrong?

Yes. Ultimately, he chose Florence Pugh’s character in order to solidify and legitimise his position as the new Emperor. It was a decision made out of ruthless political expediency, not because he preferred the princess to Chani.

I feel like if the emperor was forced out and Paul took over he would be legitimized without the Princess. I like my interpretation better cause it doesn’t make Paul look like a total dick 😂

@@matthewkauerauf1886 If it helps, in the books Chani understood why it needed to be done, and supported it. 😊 Paul says to her something to the effect of ‘she (Irulan) may be called my wife, but she will never have my love nor will I ever share a bed with her.’

@@matthewkauerauf1886and you have every right to take that interpretation. The movie does not explicitly declare it one way or another, and people need to remember that works of art (including books and movies) are their own entities that are not bound to the intentions of the author/creator. People have every right to interpret a story in the way it speak to them!

You should watch Yodha coming this month around 15 or 16 it's trailer is great

It’s an incredible film, and as a fan of the books I’m so happy. My only critique is the interpretation of Jessica.. She's not meant to be cold and cruel, and all of her autonomy is taken away by having unborn Alia tell her what to do. Anyone who's read the books knows how incredibly smart and formidable she is in her own right, and I’m sad that didn’t come across in the film. Especially since she isn’t really in Messiah at all, so we won’t be able to see the regret she has for being partly responsible for the jihad. IF they end up doing Children we will, but I doubt that will happen.
