Dune: Part Two
to start this review off, i did not enjoy Dune Part One because of confusion of the lore since i didn’t read the books. to end off this introduction, Dune Part Two was fucking amazing.
Denis Villenueve was absolutely out of his mind with the amazing direction of this part two. You are making a mistake if you don’t watch this film in IMAX. I caught myself being nervous for many parts of the film, especially the intense fighting in the third act, Usul learning the ultimate fremen way, and many more instances. The acting and intensity wasn’t built on its own… as Hans Zimmer was in his own world with the soundtrack, complimenting each and every scene possible.
everyone had stellar performances with Timothee Chalamet leading the way. Florence Pugh continues to impress me regardless of her minor role. The creativity of every costume was so intriguing, succeeding at catching the viewers eye each time.
Dune Part Two was a sight to see with jaw dropping cinematography. Bombs going off behind the main capture or natural lighting of a planet, regardless, the view was beautiful.
The only reason why I do not rate Dune Part Two 5 stars is because of my ignorance of the book lore. Either way, this film is definitely the best of 2024 and it will be hard to dethrone it.
