It had been 10 years since I read and you continually find new tidbit you missed before.
Looking forward to this.
I've never read Dune so Im scared to do so until the entire trilogy is over. I don't want to already know what happens like you guys. [Reply]
My wife and I finally got around to watching it on Max, yes after all this time, very unique and interesting world he's built. Haven't read the books, only heard about the movie when I was a kid that my parents watched back in the day so never saw the original film adaptation, but I'm glad he's split it off into multiple movies like this, seems like a vast story with alot of details that need to be given time to breathe. Casting was spot on, really well done, score was great, effects were great, can't wait for March 1st. [Reply]

It opens Thursday. I plan to see a midday matinee the following week. No rush, I guess. I've known how it ends for over 40 years. :-)
Yes, I will wait for it to settle down a bit before I go. I don't go to theatres often and prefer my venue to be a little less crowded. [Reply]

The Dark Knight is the best Batman. At the very least was much better than Batman Begins. [Reply]

Dune: Part Two is lightyears away from its predecessor, becoming a game changer for the science fiction genre. With powerful storytelling and a stronger cast, Dune: Part Two soars where most films dream of.

In all likelihood, Dune: Part Two will be revered in film history for years to come – it manages to be unlike anything we’ve seen before, yet comfortably familiar at the same time
Brian Eggert
Deep Focus Review
Beyond tapping into the source material’s vast potential for emotion and sociopolitical commentary, [Villeneuve] applies a formal bravado and seriousness found in history’s most substantial works of science fiction.

TOP CRITIC
It rivals 2015’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” as a staggering, monumental achievement in genre filmmaking and reminds us what truly talented movie directors can do
Katie Smith-Wong
Flick Feast
A feast for the eyes...Dune: Part Two's jaw-dropping epicness is enough to satisfy one's appetite for spice, cementing itself as one of the best sci-fi sequels of this century.
Razmig Bedirian
The National (UAE)
The film has the makings of a contemporary classic, with the only downside being that we’ll have to wait another few years to see how tensions unfold
I don't think I've seen a movie with such high praises from so many different critics. This has gotten me even more excited than I was before. [Reply]
