SPOILERS STARTING ON PAGE 3

The “Lawrence of Arabia” of sci-fi according to some critics

The French premiere was yesterday and although the social media embargo doesn’t end until Thursday, several reactions have been posted. I’m not going to pretend to know the qualifications of these people with the exception of one, but I don’t doubt the authenticity of their reactions.
quote:

“I wish all future science fiction films the best of luck for the next decade, as this one sets the bar so high. Truly exceptional." (@Siphano)

quote:

Bigger, more epic, more intimate... Denis Villeneuve delivers a second opus that elevates the DUNE saga to the ranks of the greatest modern sci-fi blockbusters." (@DailyPop)

quote:

"I wasn’t a big fan of the first ‘Dune’, but ‘Part 2’ was something else. I was blown away by the film's epic and grandiose." (@Les_Bonhommes)

quote:

"I don't know what to say after this big slap in the face, but long live cinema, long live Denis Villeneueve, and long live the perfection that is this film." (@Kellie0210)

quote:

"The “perfect film” exists, and it's called “Dune Part 2”. Denis Villeneuve thank you for existing, you are the King." (@M0ithis)

quote:

"For me, I don't think it says too much to say that if Dune: Part One was Star Wars, this to me is very much The Empire Strikes Back, which is my favorite of the Star Wars films. I just think it's an incredibly exciting expansion of all of the things you introduce in the first one." - Christopher Nolan

DV is the GOAT. Should have gave him Star Wars

Good to hear but not much of a surprise. We already ate the first half of the pie so we know the second half is going to taste good.

Don't know what it is. I never could get into Dune.

One day I’m actually going to see the first one from start to finish. I always seem to find it on when the kid is dealing with the old lady and the pain box then get tied up in other things right after they save the crew from the big worm from Tremors. I like what I’ve seen, but just haven’t found the time.

Got my tickets for the opening Friday. So pumped.

I'm surprised that one poster isn't already in here telling everyone how dumb they are for liking these movies. That the movie isn't a finished story and DV is ruining movies by taking two movies to finish a story.

These reviews are great. The Nolan one really excites me since I value his opinion. I’m so pumped for this movie

Definitely the popcorn part of the novel. If you liked the first one, the second should crush.
Pugh looks great as Irulan.

No surprises here. I loved the first one, and walked away thinking that if that one was so well received then the sequel, where most of the action and most interesting parts of the book happen, is going to kill

The less I know about this movie before seeing it in theaters, the better.

And my coworkers were ranting about “stupid sci fi shite” and “if I was interested in this sort of shite, I’d have read the book”…..

Extremely long. Great movie, but long.

And Chani sucks, totally made her different than in the book. They just had to give her the girl-boss treatment. Stupid, but I can look past it.
