Does this film, unlike the first one, have some sort of conclusion or fulfillment at the end? You know a fully closed narrative, some conflict resolution, the idea that if no further sequels arrived it would be a satisfying ending? I obviously know there’s a part three but part one felt like a waste of time given the lack of any sort of finality. It really doesn’t feel worthwhile to buy a ticket and watch a 3 hour film just to be blue balled at the end.
I could debate whether or not the separate parts of a planned trilogy can even have any merit as individual films but I’ll spare everyone and just ask, is it as unfulfilling as part one? If so I’m skipping a theater viewing and waiting for this to hit MAX.

For reference, I hate the ending of Empire Strikes Back. The movie is pretty good but if I’d seen that in a theater I’d have been pretty annoyed that it’s basically “to be continued” at the end. Where as Star Wars (“Episode 4: A New Hope”, if you’re a child) , since it wasn’t planned as a part 1, has a satisfying ending in that the conflict is resolved and the character arcs are, while not remarkable, completed.
It has 99% of the things from the ending of the Dune book, part 1 felt unsatisfying because it stopped in the middle of the book without resolving. Pacing was a little rushed at the end to get everything in but it wasn't as severe as Lynch's Dune. Dune Messiah "finishes" the story but a movie of that is at least 5 years away.
>Pacing was a little rushed at the end to get everything in but it wasn't as severe as Lynch's Dune.
it was still pretty bad though. Still felt like scenes were missing. It's hard to feel any attachment to anything when it skips ahead like that.
>It has 99% of the things from the ending of the Dune book
lolno. They vandalized the book and made it woke in really insidious ways. They de-fanged some of the more "problematic" and dangerous ideas.
If you turn your brain off and ignore the look Jessica gives Paul when he shuts down the reverend mother sure you could come away with that conclusion. You could also just have media literacy and understand the films you watch instead of crying about women. Stick to star wars?
She’s always undressing him with her eyes, it’s distracting
Tbf I’m always doing the same to her
If you want finality, dune ain't for you considering you might have to wait for atleast a decade or more for Deni to complete the series. Dune 2 is only worth watching on IMAX or Dolby because it's more of a visual and audio spectacle than a traditional movie with actual dialogue. So if you can't, don't watch it.
>Dune 2 is only worth watching on IMAX or Dolby because it's more of a visual and audio spectacle than a traditional movie with actual dialogue
>it’s only worth seeing a movie in theaters if it has boom boom bang bang scenes
Why do absolute morons like you infest Cinemaphile these days?
>it is generally favorable to watch large scale movies like dune on a big screen and surround sound so you can best take in the atmosphere
>lol shut up moron
Okay then, watch a camrip on your phone.
I’ll just wait until it’s streaming, as I said in OP. And I’ll watch it on a nice big television because I’m not a pajeet or off-white zoomer.
The point I made was that action is not a reason to go see a film in theaters. Only zoomers, hispanics and autistics think this. Watch more actual films in theaters, Paco.
You seem really bitter and annoying. Did you really just make a thread demanding attention with a thinly veiled dunc related OP?
Why not make it a mini series or film it like LOTR? Seems absolutely moronic to take three years off in between a planned series. Nine years for a three part series is insane. 15 years for a 5 parter if they go through with it? And each is 3 hours long with PS2 graphics? Seems absurd to approach it this way just so zendaya can make lgbt propaganda for HBO and and Tim can make shitty Wonka remakes.
you are grossly simplifying. Franchises need time and planing otherwise they end up being slop.
FOTR and Two Towers are both individually better than Dunc 1&2 you’re a brain rotted zoomer to think otherwise.
LOTR is a perfect example how from the great first film it turns into protocapeshit tier franchise slop in the sequels.
With DUNC 2 it's more of a star wars A New Hope > ESB situation.
I need you to take a year off from the internet and see if you can form a full sentence without this buzzword word salad spilling out of your mouth. It might not be too late.
The main plot that was set up in the first movie is concluded. However, it has an ending similar to AOTC with there obviously being new events happening that we don't get to see.

jfc frick off attention prostitute.
>attention prostitute, the homosexual says
>while replying thus giving attention and demanding some in return
Go seethe about the literal paid shills posting 20 threads about this flick
You spent more time "debating" *cough* than the running time of the movie. You could have seen it already but nooo you have to be an attention prostitute.
>*cough* after but not before the word in question
You sound like a pajeet or a bot trying to sound like a normal white person.
The movie is for normal white people. No wonder you hesitate so much.
>reading comprehension is not my strong point because I’m ESL. Sorry sirs.
FTFY
>if I call him a pajeet first, I win
When you make it painfully obvious and then try using the same insult, you give incredible credence to it.
Things have to exist outside your head, otherwise they are an hallucination. Like being a painfully obvious attention prostitute making multiple threads about yourself.
This is another case of your ESL limitations betraying you. The subject of the thread is the film.
It's literally identical to Pitch Black, just watch that instead

A ponderous, thoughtful, dialogue driven commentary on Christian mythology, human theology, the pitfalls of perceived infallibility amongst leaders, caste systems, environmentalism, nepotism, hero worship, divine right of kings, and the extent to which man can destroy himself in the pursuit of immortality vs Vin Diesel makes bad guys go boom. But hey, they all have blue eyes I guess
>A ponderous, thoughtful, dialogue driven commentary on Christian mythology, human theology, the pitfalls of perceived infallibility amongst leaders, caste systems, environmentalism, nepotism, hero worship, divine right of kings, and the extent to which man can destroy himself in the pursuit of immortality
That describes the books not the movies.
Fair. Just seemed weird to say it was identical to pitch black and I felt like defending it.
Not that guy but yeah, it is a weird comparison. Aesthetically, sure, they are in a desert with blue eyes. Thematically though it is proper weird to say they are the exact same film
It’s better than part 1. That’s for sure. I think Ville was too obsessed with making is visual, dropping the ball in the writing and dialogue instead.
I think the problem is that the movie focuses too much on chani and her fan fiction anger at Paul. It rushes through Alia and Jessica, the baron is barely in the movie at all. And the finale feels 5 minutes short.
Was it worth seeing? Did it stay with you after you left the theater?
I thought the first movie was better, due in part to depicting the stronger half of the source material.
I thought the Rottem Tomakeks didn't like the movie.
Cinemaphile being contrarian snobs as per usual. It has to be absolute slop like Rebel Moon for the mouth breathing regulars here to think it's some kind of underrated gem.
I think it has a far worse and less satisfying ending than Part I, which ends with Paul's tragically premature coming of age and simultaneously chilling and thrilling partial fulfillment of his Gom Jabbar visions. The second one ends in a mess brought on by misguided character rewriting and separating the viewer from Paul's moral perspective. My review: In general it's a far worse film and deeply disappointing compared to the restorative, transcendent Part I. It does away with all character complexity, subtlety, poetry, and undercurrent of foreboding in favor of half-hearted humor and irrelevant action bluster. If you thought Part I was "slow" and light on action, maybe you'll like this one. If you were attuned to the nuances of Paul's relationship with his mother, with his father, and their relationship, and appreciated action that actually had implications for the characters involved, you won't.
Appreciate the review anon, avoided plot spoilers but managed to explain your views well.
Thanks anons. I don’t really want to sour anyone on it with my negativity before they see it, but it’s sad to see people saying part II is so much better than part I when part II is basically like any other flick and part I is actually well done.
spot on review.
My favorite part was when Chani and her girlfriend make fun in anticipation of Paul losing his mother to the Water of Life, when Chani had JUST lost her own mother (femKynes) at the end of Pt 1.
Paul and Chani's lovebond was spurred in the book by mutual mourning after the simultaneous loss of their fathers. The hack writers completely missed that plot device and made Chani to be a souless harpy.
Great point. The more you think about it, the worse her character gets
Great. Another poster with Chani, who is a nothing character in the book, standing in front of Paul. Villeneuve said he was going to be faithful to the story, yet surprise sur-fricking-prise, it's woke soulless shit
It’s worth it. I’m actually thinking of seeing it again.

Read the books first, then decide whether you should watch the film or not?
You zoomers are seriously completely brainrotten. It's just a damn movie, you don't have to make an entire mental map min maxing life equation algorithm out of deciding should you watch a fricking movie or not.
No wonder all of you are lonely virgins since you are so crippled by decision paralysis even for the smallest most irrelevant things.
Are you implying OP a did this? The zoomers seem to be the ones seething they arent immedaitely rushing out to consoooom. I still have yet to see it because I went to part 1 and left pretty blue balled and annoyed.
ride the worm, b***h
