Dune: Part Two
Initially leaving this film I was annoyed. Annoyed at the fact that my lord and savior George Lucas is possibly fraudulent and has copied from the masterpiece that is dune as there is just so many comparisons
From the bene gesserrit being the night sisters from dathomir the Harkonnens being the first order , bacta tanks keeping people alive just so many similarities.
Dune part 2 is a perfect movie there is nothing bad about this film. On the drive home I tried to think of something for ages but nothing came to mind. Firstly , the cinematography is unbelievable how is it possible that looking at sand for 2 hours so fucking beautiful it’s just obscene hahahah. Black and white shots are truly back aswell from Oppenheimer to this they are truly stealing my heart makes the scenes so much sharper and brutal. For the CGI, it was all truly amazing but the floating harkonnens at the start truly wowed me st how cleanly it was done.
Now regarding the story again I hate to say it but it’s a 5 it truly is a 5. It gave me everything I would want from a Sci-Fi film and I can’t stop thinking about it. From the shocking twist moment, the beautifully executed love story and just a consistently good flow throughout the film. Of course it’s going to feel long it’s nearly 3 hours and I’ve the attention span of a gold fish.
Onto the characters , they were unbelievable and the performances aswell were all great. Rebecca Ferguson was so unbelievablely fucking annoying and creepy proving she’s got more depth than just the mi films. Zendaya was great you kinda know what your going to get from her at this rate. Austin Butler , you fucking little sicko I wish he got more more screen time they should have binned off bautista earlier wannbe fucking vader. He reminded me so much of Darth Maul , how barbaric and bestial he was.
I Know this is a ramble but by far the best thing about this film is Paul Arteides. I am an absolute sucker for a fallen hero trope and is executed fucking perfectly in this film. You can see as the bluer his eyes turn the more of an anti-hero he turns into simple things that beautifully portray his character development. Chálamet was a perfect casting for this alternative dimension of Anakin. For me to think a brand new character is on the same level as anakin is more than remarkable it’s fucking unheard of. Which means I have to give this film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
P.S you know empire is goated when the spoilers button for this app is literally vader
