Dune Part 2 does not live up to the hype.

I was hearing it was a top 3 sci fi film ever..I saw someone in another thread calling it on par with Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back...Laughable. It was visually gorgeous and the sound design was incredible, it should win both, but the scattered clapping in the sold out theater did not feel as if I just watched one of the greatest sci fi films ever.
Fury Road was the last one I went to that I remember the audience having a visceral response.
ETA: No chemistry between Zendaya and Chalamet

I enjoyed it a lot. A whole lot.
But the hype was greatly overblown.
Good to very very good movie but nowhere near the best scifi movie in the last whatever years. I’d rather watch Interstellar, Fury Road, Gravity, Arrival, or BR2049.

It was mostly boring but the ending was good. Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler had really good performances. Overall I still say the Lynch version is better in just about every way but the Villeneuve movies have their merits.

Ending was super meh.

I thought it was a good, not great film. There was a lot going on and a lot of it wasn't fleshed out enough.

Zendaya
Easily the worst part of the movie.
The dozen or so scenes of her just staring with her stupid face were annoying.
But it was still a great movie.
I prefer the first one but I really enjoyed this one as well.

Despite not really buying TC as being a badass, I thought it was one of the best scifi movies ive ever seen

Doesn't get you emotionally. There's no pull or tug. I mean, in LOTR, we start identifying with Frodo or feel for him and Sam. Paul, we really don't in this movie. He's not a bad actor. I liked him in The King. It's more the scriptwriting than anything.

It was really good, but I enjoyed Dune part 1 significantly more. Oscar Isaac in particular was missed.
Hot take: the first 1/2 to 2/3 of Lynch's Dune was just as good. It just fell apart after Paul joined the fremen. The special effects hold up, including the sandworms. Sting as Feyd >> Austin Butler as Feyd and I'm not kidding.

I agree. Reviewers comparing this to Empire Strikes Back and a new standard for sci-fi films got me pretty hyped up. I think years of shitty movies has lowered the bar a lot.
Very good movie that I would watch again. But I didn't walk out of the movie feeling amazed. Would say it is in the same tier as Fury Road, Blade Runner 2049, Dred.

If you don’t think it lived up to the hype, fine. But yall can get right the frick out with thinking that cheesy 80s movie holds a candle to either film

If you think fury road was better than Dune 2 you’re flat out stupid.
Posted on 3/9/24 at 12:02 pm to LawnmowerMan
Thought it was a great film with a lot of flaws
Posted on 3/9/24 at 12:09 pm to LawnmowerMan
I think the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Dune 2 is partly because of the recent failures of Marvel and Star Wars
With that said, Dune 2 is still pretty good

Dune 1 was better. First 2/3rd’s of Dune 2 were slow.

Terrible film. Visually impressive until they start riding worms. Ridiculous in its conception and in delivery. The laws Of physics and every character’s motivations (except Anton Sigur) are inconsistent and often contradictory. This guy who played Elvis once appears to be playing Elvis in every role he’s in, including the bickered and dune 2, except he was doing an impression of skellen skarsgard in this one. Piece of shite. Terrible movie. The only sympathetic character is zyndaya. Christopher walken made it unwatchable. Kept waiting for him to introduce the fooFIGHTAHS.

Saw it in IMAX, was blown away by the cinematography. We were on the second row so not the best place to sit, looking up the whole time. Anyway, I wish they could make this into a theatre mini-series. As much as I liked it, they could have "fleshed out" as some of you call it so much in the middle of the movie and it would have made sense to everyone. To truly do justice to the book it would take 5 or so movies imho. But what do I know. I'm going to see it again in a few days.

The guy that said this is Christopher Nolan. I'd imagine he knows a thing or two about making a movie.

I loved the movie but I felt that the Baptisa character turned into a puss in this one. Killed like a little bitch in a few seconds man
