    Let me know if there are any specific questions or topics you would like me to discuss in future "Dune" related videos! Books, movies, lore, specific characters - let me know, I'm looking for suggestions and I'm interested in making more discussion type videos about the "Dune" universe going forward.

    Dune Part 2 is the only film I've looked forward to seeing since Part 1.
  • @bruh_hahaha
    Great review! You are one of the best film commentators on YT and your videos are so well presented and produced. 🏆🏆🏆
  • It's so nice to KNOW that you are going to be blown away by a film nowadays. With all the disappointments and god awful films, to know you are in good hands that care about your time is truly a wonderful feeling. Thank you Villeneueve, the best working today!
  • @seanmerchant312
    Villeneuve is the one that points the way. LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

    It's funny hearing people hated the lack of action in Part 1, because personally I have the opposite issue. I felt Part 1 was very lacking when it came to dialogue scenes and politics, for example the scenes with the Baron being super short and very sparse. Or the Bene Gesserit scenes on Caladan being super super brief ... when I was craving more dialogue from the Reverend Mother to Paul for example. Maybe I'm nitpicking, because I still liked Part 1, but this is where Part 1 faltered for me personally and took me out of the movie. I'm curious if Part 2 is similar in its approach to dialogue and politics compared to Part 1, or if it handles it worse / better? Love your review, thanks!

    Great review. Totally agree that changes needed to be made to fulfil the needs of an adaptation brought to the screen to enable general audience appeal and provide necessary funds to make it all possible (at the end of the day). DV is a true fan of Frank Herbert’s material and we are so lucky to have him as the film version creator of this Duniverse. 🤓😍

    In as much as many details in the written book would be impossible to completely interpret in film, that scene with Paul on his first solo worm ride is one thing that was done better in this film format.
  • @timstalam
    as a fan of the book, this review confirms that the movie accurately adapted the story! the pacing of lots of lore first -> lots of action, is how the book was meant to be. can't wait to see it
  • @jneumy566
    I like how even the reviewers aren't saying anything about Alia, not even the slightest. Thay could be a good or a bad thing, guess we'll see when it comes out, but I like how they're staying as quiet as the people who worked on it
  • @karabokhanyile
    This is the best review I've seen as a first book reader,thank you
  • @superherofan198
    Cannot wait! Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors of all time! He’s a genius!
  • @sgtjarhead99
    I really like your Two Towers analogy to this film over Nolan’s Empire Strikes Back comparison. Very astute.
  • @maupach2022
    Bought my tickets for March 2nd, cannot wait!
  • @dukecunning7046
    WOW! I have seen about 20 reviews of this movie, Dune 2. Each reviewer (including you) has, surprisingly, blown me away. I have stopped caring about movies because of the trash Hollywood industry; but I am surprised at the phenomena of this movie: the making of it and its director. I actually might go to the movie theatre to watch it! Thanks for such a great, thoughtful review!
  • I can’t wait! I have tickets for IMAX 70mm for next Saturday, and my excitement is through the roof. Bless the maker and his water.

    I just saw the early Dune 2 screening and was blown away. I think the departures from the novel by Villeneuve worked really well for the screen. The exception would be the relationship between Paul and Chani at the end of D2 because in the novel Paul did the right thing and Chani understood with the support of Jessica. I don't want to get into spoiler territory just yet.
