It was pretty bad. Calling it a masterpiece is crazy. People literally getting offended when you say you didn't like it.
Hahaha trust me I been catching hell all weekend
Yes, think of sci fi films that are masterpieces and Dune does not belong in that category .There are hundreds of sci fi movies that are more deserving too be called a masterpiece
I'd get offended if you said you did like it
@@darkgoth69 haha I hope I didn’t disappoint
People who hate it simply lack cinematic literacy. Which is fine, cinema isnt for everyone.
For example the number 1 reason people who dont like it seem to always say it was because it was boring... well that's all i need to know that they lack literacy of the medium if they felt that way because the depth of this story isnt told to you through exposition, it isnt even told to you through characters and dialog in some cases, every little thing you see in every shot is a story telling element. the way objects in the shot are aligned, the colors that are used, the lighting of a shot, and even a subtle blink and you will miss it change on the actor's face. THESE are the elements that tell the story. Not the dialog. They say it takes multiple viewings to even catch it all and i agree because there was so much to rediscover the second time i watched it and the first time i felt it was overhyped too until i watched it again.
There is a reason some of the greatest directors of our time like Steven Spielberg and christopher Nolan praise this movie as being one of the greatest sci-fi films they have seen in their carriers and put Denis Villeneuve among the greats like Peter Jackson and George Lukas.
if the reason is simply because you aren't a scifi fan and that fact poisoned your ability to enjoy it before you even walked through the doors of the theater, well then that's just a you problem and is simply an irrational bias you have. Because storytelling is story telling, it doesn't matter if it takes place in historical, modern, or future contest; all 3 categories can have great storytelling and bad storytelling.
It's a mass hysteria because it had better effects than a Marvel Movie. But it was style over substance.
I definitely see where you coming from
@@RejectedHeroesMediaI watched the film earlier today and it was average at best, you cannot trust mainstream media reviews these days. Sci-Fi isn't my genre anyway and based on the reviews I wanted to like it more than part one going into it but in the end it was average at best, man. On another note, you should watch the HBO/Max series Tokyo Vice (season one was great and season two is currently showing on Max). Great Yakuza crime drama series based on true events with the 1st episode directed by Michael Mann 👍🏽
@@enterthebruce91 appreciate you friend and thank you for the recommendation I will deff watch them this weekend since it’s a dry weekend for movies. Thanks again ❤️
@@RejectedHeroesMedia No worries bro, feel free to get back to me and let me know what you think of Tokyo Vice, it's soooo underrated and hardly anyone even knows about this show in the UK so I'm telling everyone about it. Blessings 👍🏽👊🏽
@@enterthebruce91 thanks again cheers again & thanks again for taking time out to watch and comment
Way way too overhyped. My God.
Very much calling it a masterpiece. Smh
Do i think it was as great as say, the lord of the rings or as groundbreaking for screenplay as The Godfather Part 1 and 2? no. But it is a significant piece of film and will likely become an instant classic in the years to come. So, people who just straight up hate it simply lack cinematic literacy. Which is fine, cinema isnt for everyone.
But for example, the number 1 reason people have told me they dont like it seem to always say it was because it was boring... well that's all i need to know that they lack literacy of the medium if they felt that way because the depth of this story isnt told to you through exposition, it isnt even told to you through characters and dialog in some cases, every little thing you see in every shot is a story telling element and you wont understand or appreciate what is being told if you don't notice or don't read into these elements because you are distracted or falling asleep. The way objects in the shot are aligned, the colors that are used, the lighting of a shot, and even a subtle "blink and you will miss it" twitch on the actor's face. THESE are the elements that tell the story. Not the dialog. They say it takes multiple viewings to even catch it all and i agree because there was so much to rediscover the second time i watched it and the first time i felt it was overhyped too until i watched it again.

But if that's the reason you dont like it, i don't hold that against you because it takes skill to be able to adapt good cinematic literacy and appreciate the medium to it's fullest.
However, if the reason is a shallow one like you simply aren't a scifi fan and that fact poisoned your ability to enjoy it before you even walked through the doors of the theater, well then that's just a you problem and is simply an irrational bias you have. Because storytelling is story telling, it doesn't matter if it takes place in historical, modern, or future contest; all 3 categories can have great storytelling and bad storytelling and there is something we can take away, learn, and apply to our everyday lives from a good story despite it being told in an imaginative world.
@@ga1actic_muffin alot of the crap is coming from kids in their early 20s who grew up watching marvel movies so it makes sense that their biggest and only criticism seem to be it's "boring"
@@themanwithnothingtolose yes we seem to have forgotten how to watch slower paced cinema where the story is being told through more ways than just dialog. sometimes just soaking up a scene that lingers around for a while, can give us a better understanding of what a character is going through or the importance of a situation which in turn can help us understand a deeper perspective of a plot.
I was extremely disappointed…. They glossed over so many details and had a very unsatisfying ending.
These films are so overhyped. Completely boring in parts … 6 out of 10 for both films.
Hahaha better rating than I would have gave it lol
@@RejectedHeroesMediai was just being generous for the cinematography. Maybe a 4
I didn't like it at all too. Zendaya sulking for three hours. Awful.
I agree. Zendaya kind of ruined the whole movie if I’m being honest.
Chamlamee and Zendaya's acting was too cringe for me.
Zendaya being zendaya huh lol
@@RejectedHeroesMedia🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zero chemistry
zendaya is not a good actor, and chamlamee was a miscast
Villeneuve believed that the main theme of Dune was teen angst.
Bro I thought I was losing my mind not liking this movie , shit was trash truly thanks for your honesty
Thank you for taking the time out to watch my video 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Dune 2 sucked. It’s boring, slow paced, there are no likable characters. Between Paul atreides, lead singer of a South Korean boy band, and miss chani pouty face…I don’t want to see another sand dune on film ever again.
I felt this comment
Slow paced??? Gotta lay off TikTok. lol
@@frankvee Nothing wrong with a movie taking it's time .. But what he's saying is IT'S BORING. Just because a movie is a slow burn doesn't necessarily mean it's good. DV makes BORING, lifeless and sterile movies. They look nice, but they're dull.
@@Fiveash-Art you obviously grew up watching marvel movies
@@themanwithnothingtolose You 'Obviously' are making assumptions that completely miss the mark. That's a major problem with people like yourself. Always creating imaginary scenarios in your heads about people you know nothing about, but pretend you do, just because you don't agree with them about a particular subject. You sound like your typical American voter. Sorry man, I'm not a programmed automaton like yourself. You've bought into a brand just like those 'Marvel people' you're talking about. Dune is just as shallow as any of those movies. It's just another tentpole popcorn flick with a veneer of profoundness and artistry. Hollywood has all you people fooled just like everyone else.
It was tedious and disappointing. I left the cinema after an hour. People repeat the words of others. The scene with the Emperor at the beginning sitting in the garden was odd. Here was a man who instigated this devastating war and he looked like a care home resident wondering what the hell was going on
The Emperor was weak that's why he had Leto killed.
Still didn't look like an emperor. Not even a weak emperor.
Even his clothes looked old. 😒
This movie was terrible, but a lot of people are being gaslighted by the amazing cinematography and special effects and Austin Butler’s excellent performance. But there was barely any plot or story in a near 3 hour movie, and that is a ridiculous amount of screen time to waste. The movie expects you to have read the book to fully understand it, which means it’s a bad script. I’ve never read the books, tell me why am I supposed to care about Anya Taylor Joy’s character or Lady Fenring? I heard that a lot was cut from the book that would’ve made things much clearer for the viewer. I also noticed that if you search “Dune part 2 sucks”, UA-cam doesn’t save it in your search history 🤣🤣
Austin butler is the only person ill remember in the movie wish he was in more of the forefront
I am dumbfounded by comments from people who claim to have read the books and think the movie was a masterful adaptation. "best one since LotR". It's a disaster in it's own right, if you've read the books it's an even bigger disaster. I came to the same conclusion as you did, waste of screen time. Besides no plot, there's no subtlety in the characters. What I loved about the books is how complex and nuanced motivations are described in a very rational way, also there are some really trippy scenes that are crucial to the plot. The movie completely ignores any attempt at making the audience understand who the characters and cultures actually, what the actual plot is about, and substitutes that with a very boring idea "Yeh revenge for my father we will go to victory. -Fuck yeah' said the Fremen. 'Lisan Al-Gaib' said Stilgar" with Zendaya's boss bitch attitude sprinkled to make it...interesting? The stupidest thing is is that it's 2.5h of wasted screentime and barely 200 pages of book material to cover.
I'd rather just watch The Room for the rest of my life than this. At least it's funny when it's bad enough.
@@RejectedHeroesMediaPheyd carried this movie shit I wanted him to win.
@@josephbanks888 haha elsewhere in the multiverse he did
I left the theater. I could not finish it. Maybe it is different for people who read the books. The acting was ok. The characters were one dimensional. The scenes were visually appealing. The plot was everywhere. They could have cut 30 minutes and still given you a less boring movie. I was waiting for things to happen, hoping something great would happen. They sped through areas they should have elaborated on and slowed down for sections that didn't need thag much detail.
Trust me I feel you big time
I walked out also. I watch 2 hours of nothing, just boredom.

@@ga1actic_muffin -- It's funny you mention literacy. IMO, the film was made for illiterates. It's the "Feelies" right out of Brave New World -- all spectacle, no substance... or interesting characters, ideas, or dialogue. Nothing in the film makes sense if you think about it for even a second. Gorgeous visuals though, however derivative.
only peeps who didnt read the books like this crap ... Im surprized they could make out what the hell was going on with so much info cut from the script
While this film looked gorgeous in trying to be Lawrence of Arrakis, the movie's narratives was so stripped down and simplistic from the Frank Herbert's book that is could be called Dune for Dummies. I can see why the reviewer would be bored senseless and end up confusing Dune and Star Wars. Dune is really closer to Games of Thrones in every way and if it could be done in 10 or 12 episode tv series like GoT with all the backstabbing and byzantine treachery the reviewer would change his mind on that.
Its socially acceptable to admit Dune 1 and 2 Remake is a pile of dogsh*t and a failure of a series. Im suprised they even got to make a sequel given how bad the first was... Dune 1984 is the only great one. Nobody cares about movies anymore because they are woke checklist trash and these films are no exception. They stink, they are bland, the casting doesn't make sense. And there are alot of shills and influencers out in full force like a marketing firm or bots looking to prop it up.
Thank you
@@RejectedHeroesMediaIf you like, try the original Dune movie from 1984. Its alot more fun than these remake hunks of junk.
@@spencerwilliams461lol "woke checklist". Calm yourself down, bad scripts are just bad scripts.
@@paintspot1509And that's apart of it. Now quit spamming sock accounts nerd.
Wtf was woke in this movie?
Saying this movie is just ok is over hyping it by a 100 miles. This movie STRAIGHT UP SUCKS!!!! This movie makes me never want to go to the theaters again. Boring, bland and just crap.
Crap
The Dune 2 echo chamber dickriding and copium in the comments is hilarious. 200 mil to make 100 mil to market. Needs 600 mil+ to break even. It may lose money just like the first one did (although dishonest dune fans will liecand say it made money 😅).
Yeah lucky it doesn’t have too much competition till end of march with Godzilla vs kong 2
My biggest gripe is the pacing: I remember the scene where Paul had to cross the desert to reach a ridge, and was told to watch out for the Djinn whispers but that was completely cut out. Also I felt like Jessica kinda created a cult out of nowhere.
Haha out of no where
the Djinn part was cut short, yes
but Jessica? do you even watch it?
@@imp4ktth maybe u can remind me
@@monki6304 that's the problem with people, just talking shit to something they dont understand

Dune II, visually sumptuous but boring beyond belief.
Skill issue.
Boring bland concept and it’s not a pretty or visually stimulating universe like people say. Scale isn’t impressive if it’s a sea of grey and sandstone color. Score isn’t epic if it doesn’t accompany good acting or writing. I don’t get why so many people glaze this series of movies
Idk either my friend honestly
Man, I agree w. you. I was bored in the first 15 minutes and it didnt get better at any point in time.
Hahaha I feel u bro
It gets a C. This review gets an A.
Appreciate you sorry for late response
The trailer was edited in a way that made the movie look a lot faster paced, action packed from start to finish, spectacular and epic. The actual film, however, is complete meh. Not that I expected to be pleasantly surprised for once, but after all the rave reviews and glowing praise on UA-cam I was immensely disappointed tonight.
I absolutely do not understand the hype, never to mention the audacity with which they compare this to the LOTR trilogy´s greatness, and why they´re calling Part 2 infinitely better than the first part. Just because a film has excellent cinematography and earth shattering sound, it doesn´t deserve to be labelled as a masterpiece.
Zendaya always has been and still is a colossal miscast (have to fully agree on Zendaya always being nothing but Zendaya and just zendayaing all through any movie), there is zero romantic and sexual chemistry between her and Chalamet, and the character of Chani is atrocious in the second installment. They really could have spared us the angry black woman trope with the flared nostrils, and yet another woke "woman slaps (white) man" moment.
Florence the Pudge didn´t need to be a part of the cast either (as she has none of the physical and facial beauty, regalness and elegance which Princess Irulan is supposed to have).
Javier Bardem is Javier-Bardemming as in each and every one of his movies.
Christopher Walken is an Emperor on two packs of Valium and Xanax. George Lucas´s Palpatine would never!
The only two people who really shine in their performances are Rebecca Ferguson and Austin Butler. The latter clearly worked his behind off - not just in terms of physical and combat preparation, but also acting, voice and accent. His psychopathy as Feyd Rautha is an absolute treat, and it´s a pure joy to see him yet again totally transform into a character that is the complete opposite of everything he is in real life.
Dune 2, for me personally, was a massive letdown.
I deff agree I wish Austin was more in the forefront of the film instead of coming in in the later second half. Also glad to see u and I both have the same feelings towards this film. I personally don’t think it’s the masterpiece everyone claims it is but hey what can u do. Not gonna follow the masses
This is how they boost ticket sales. They trick the public into thinking you will miss out on a masterpiece if you don't see it. They did the same thing with Oppenheimer which was also over hyped
I wanted to like Paul but he just kept winning too damn much. Johnny Sue, by mid movie I was like where is that Pheyd dude. They supposedly goosebumps moments didn’t get me. In all the supposedly epicness of this franchise the only epic goosebumps moment I got was in Dune 1 when we saw the Worms for the first time, they tried to replicate that and failed. Paul was just winning so damn much he went from Duke Son to Emperor in two movies. The only thing that will make these two films between for me is if the next films build our true hero up and Paul is the villain. I never even read the books is that what happens ? I hope.
@@josephbanks888Sorry to disappoint you. From here on out it´s basically a homerun for Paul (because they omitted most of Paul´s challenges and actual struggles in both movies). He faces some more tragedies until the book series ends, sure, but he essentially remains the unbeatable "chosen one" (Kwisatz Haderach) and Emperor.
This is why despite the childish, kitschy elements and corny dialogue in Star Wars, George Lucas´s story and characters remain superior - Anakin/Vader is an absolutely tragic chosen one/ anti-hero/villain/then finally hero in the last moment who loses literally everyone he has ever loved and then all of his limbs along the way, and his son Luke first gets his naive, unprepared ass handed to him and his hand cut off before he can evolve and become a Master Jedi.
I feel like im taking crazy pillz...
The book Dune was always an immediate red flag to me when people mention it. Nine times out of ten that person has never finished it and the book is nothing but another symbol of their pseudo intellectualism
U are not alone my friend
@@RejectedHeroesMedia 😅 Much appreciated. I dont hate it like I hated The Rise of Skywalker or Jurassic Park Dominion or that new Indie movie I literally dont even remember the tital of.... but still a waste of time nonetheless.
I agree. Looked great. Acting was average. "Angry Chani" got old quick. I'd rather see Godzilla Minus One for the ninth time over seeing Dune 2 for the second time. Meanwhile, I've been reading and re-reading the first six Dune books my entire life since my teen years. God Emperor of Dune is my favorite hard sci-fi novel of all time. But the movie did nothing for me.
Right now Godzilla minus 1 is deff way better than dune 2
I think no adaptation will ever truly satisfy you if you already know the source material first. When LOTR first came out, a lot of fans hated it as well since it wasn't what they thought it would be. Your imagination and your own interpretation of the source material will always be more preferable to you than seeing someone else interpretation of it.
A problem I found is that the emotional storytelling beats seem lacking to engage us so much despite the spectacular visuals. The motivations and conflicts of our characters didn't seem to be given enough time to be fleshed out to invest us so deeply and fill us with curiosity about what happens next to them.
The exception to me was the war council scene towards the last quarter of the film when Paul thoroughly convinces the Fremen that he is the Lisan al Gaib. That hit a lot of strong emotional notes for me since it's a great payoff to a lot of setups as we see the complete reverence in Stillgar's eyes as he gets on his knees and the sense of elation in Gurney's eyes as Paul dons his father's signet ring. It's a really fantastic moment.
Yet I think moments even remotely as engaging as this were very few and far between.
Take the action scenes as a simple example. If we analyze the action scenes in terms of visuals, they're arguably fantastic. Yet if we look at them in terms of the stakes and suspense involved, I think they largely fall flat because all of them are very one-sided. We just see the Fremen completely obliterate the Harkonnen and later Sardaukar without suffering any heavy casualties whatsoever. The only time we see the Fremen suffer heavy casualties is in the rather anti-climactic artillery bombings of Sietch Tabr, yet soon after, Paul drinks the Water of Life and completely conquers everything.
Book readers will probably point out here that this is the point: the Fremen are supposed to have completely overwhelmed the Hardokken under Rabban's inept leadership of Arakkis, e.g. And I agree, except this is why the books don't slow down the pacing to spend a lot of time on these action scenes, instead speeding up the pace through them to focus on more interesting forms of conflict (especially internal conflicts for our characters). It's not very emotionally engaging to see lopsided battles being won repeatedly, and this emotionally engaging aspect is what I think DV's films largely missed. The films instead really slow down the pacing to spend a great deal of time on these one-sided action scenes while largely rushing through the scenes especially focused on establishing the internal conflicts of our characters.
U hit the nail on the head my friend
Terrible movie. Agreed. So many issues with it
If anyone saw Godzilla Minus One, this year. It puts this boring Dune 2 to shame.
And they think they will be able to hype-train Dune 3 into mega box office?
Not after the stink of this one lingers for a while.
When I first saw it, what really stood out was the visual aesthetics and sound design. Having seen it the 3rd time, I found there wasn't too much of a character development. I found that it was plot that lead the characters to their goal. I didn't worry that any of the main characters were going to die.
Exactly well said my friend
I was predicting the generic dialogue before it happened. I lost my mind when after a total of 5 hrs between both movies, Zendaya’s character says the line “you know this is just the beginning right?”
Haha right “JUST THE BEGINNING???????”
I agree. It was overrated. The paid mouthpieces came out fast to set the tone that it was the best movie ever. It wasnt. It left out way too much of the good stuff of Dune
Big facts
If people don't believe that Hollywood knows how to manipulate Soc Media and sites like Rotten Tom, then they still believe in Santa Claus.
No dont hate. Saw it today. Erm i drifted off a few times. I was a bit bored. All the action is in the trailer!
Haha glad we can be honest about it
@RejectedHeroesMedia absolutely 💯 I'm glad I'm not the only one. Cinema I was in partly full. But everyone at the end looked like they had Sunday dinner and ready for bed 🛌 😴
Hahahaha right same when my theater was over there was An awkward pause like someone was supposed to clap and applaud like we just finish watching avengers endgame
so true
They are both overhyped and boring in large parts. People have different opinions but people saying it’s the greatest film or sci fi film of all time … what are they smokin!!!
It's being called a masterpiece because certain groups of "fans" are angry at Disney Star Wars and want to use Dune as the template of what Star Wars should be.
That’s an interesting take on it. I never thought of it that way
The books that Frank herbert actually wrote where masterpieces, inspired countless sifi, like star wars, alien plus more. Dune part one was decent, got me into the franchise. Part 2 wasn't all tha, visually was amazing, but was rushed and too many changes. Dune is famously hard to film, but alot of fantasy and sifi is like GOT, LOTR, but like star wars and Disappointney milking it, same is said for Brian herbert milking dune.
George lucas actually heavily inspired by the original dune books. The whole Spice drug, religious Warriors who use swords over guns, the chosen one, mind control, evil empire, clones of the best Warrior in the galaxy, desert world hahaha. I can go on and star wars is amazing always been a huge fan since I was young, but frank herbert was a genius, sadly he died of sadness like padme.
Dune part 2 was alright not a masterpiece, no where near. I finally saw it today and no one was there but me ans my cousin 😅 got a private showing like a tory for 8 quid.
In ten years....make that 5 years,
no one is going to even mention these movies as anything but a Hollywood over-hyped money grab.
If they mention them at all.
As for Dune 3, it may as well be in the dust bin already.
After the first movie, I don't really care to see the second. It feels like people pretend to like things because it's the popular opinion online
Most likely this movie was cool but it was way overhyped for me
The modern Cynicism crowd. This movie is right up their wheelhouse . The film isn’t romantic, it doesn’t wears it heart on it sleeves, no jokes. They had the nerve to compare this film to the dark knight, the only relation it has is this film is like Gamble from the dark knight cause he’s always so serious. Why so seriousah
Absolutely right: all those "critics", nerds and "movie reviewers" who mindlessly declared this a masterpiece are like the fremen fundamentalists in the movie.
Exactly. not me lol
I think is a movie for fans of the books, which is not me.
And I felt I didn't want to know more about the universe and Lore.
It was a tough watch, very boring. Subscribed!

It looked and sounded amazing but it could have been 1hr and 15mins. It was extremely drawn out for absolutely no reason.

Dude, I agree with you 💯.
Just didn't do it for me. The changes from the book were baffling to me, and honestly overall, even not reading the book, it was still a confusing mess
Thank you
Dune was BORING. Part 2 if it anything like the first I WON’t watch it.
Good call
The characters in this movie were basically non existent. Istg they were so watered down
Facts
It's not good, it's not terrible. It's just so so SO MIDDLE OF THE GODDAMN ROAD it HURTS.
Swear idk why people praising it soo much
I fell asleep in the cinema watching it. Woke up and it was still playing and still boring. I got up and left the cinema
Right isn’t that nuts you can fall asleep 💤 and still wake up and movie still playing
The first movie was boring to me so I didn't even bother with the 2nd
Haha good call
The Dune franchise and this movie in particular kinda feels like the Batman 2022 and Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 where the internet over hypes them but there really just alright ill be honest i need to see this movie but people just need to relax. I think people are just begging for a good movie and are just pretending for this movie to be good thats just my personal opinion.
Respect ya opinion my friend know how u feel
@@RejectedHeroesMediahey at least the those movies the comment above mentioned at least had action and likable characters
What was your best movie of 2023, I'm curious...🤔
I hated Part One, but decided to give the film another chance. Bad move. This is another experiment with sepia and gray in a wash of sandy scenes. The CGI of a worm cresting a dune was literally some kind of firecracker in a sandbox, no worm even. It feels like the lowest possible budget film for the highest possible pretense at depth, of which there is none.
*_David Lynch for the win!_*
Hahaha sorry for late responses
Casual movie goer here. Just found the whole experience confusing. Too many unresolved plot points. Not many likeable characters, and too many characters overall. No musical score to speak of. The only thing I liked was the cinematography.
U are not alone my friend TRUST ME
I swear. It was such a snooze fest. Loved your review. Agree with you. There was NOTHING in the movie that moved me. I just didn't care what was going on. Give me my 4 hrs back!!
Exactly wish I could refund your 4hrs :( thank u for taking time out to watch and comment on my video tho ❤️
Moses, Jesus, Skywalker, Neo...Mt Rushmore of cinematic Jesus's 😂
Hahah all of they above big brother
The david lynch version is unironically more interesting despite its flaws
Agreed man
I find comparing Lynch's version to Villeneuve's so fascinating since they took such radically different approaches. Lynch's approach is very surreal, expressionistic, and fantastical while DV's approach is more naturalistic and subdued. I much prefer Lynch's overall approach since it's so unforgettable and trippy.
Yet above all else from a general storytelling perspective, I think Lynch's version does a better job selling the stakes and character conflicts.
For a very simple example, in Lynch's version -- and very unlike the books -- we open already with Shaddam and the Space Guild conspiring to destroy House Atreides and with the Navigator already mentioning right at the beginning that Paul Atreides must die. "Paul Atreides must die."
In DV's version, we open to Paul waking up and the Atreides replacing the Harkonnen as rulers of Arrakis. We get some dialogue hinting at the Shaddam's conspiracy for war through Paul's exchanges with his father, but his father already has plans to thwart the Emperor's plans.
@darkengine5931 yes exactly we share the same sentiments about the plot carrying weight or not
I think Lynch version better communicates the regal atmosphere of monarchies and dynasties also
I also found the fremen more alien and convincing in the Lynch version
Finally found some one who feels same... Felt boring, in india we have watched this kind of stories a lot .
Unwanted characters un rememberable names..
Thank you glad u found my channel so u could see what I was saying
Was massively disappointed by 1 and 2.
U are not alone
it's big and grand and fcking well produced but my gooood. The story is so goddamn simple and it's being told in slo motion. This is the biggest flaw for me, like u said. I'm not invested in the story, the characters. It literally could happen anything and I would just be "shit looks cool" and that's it.
Feel me gumba 🙂↔️🙂↔️
Terrible movie. Took too many liberties with the book.
I deff feel u
When Golden Arms from Wu-Tang reviews movies. 😎🍻
😎🍻
some even dared to compare this to " the lord of the rings " lol
Wowwwwwwww
People going crazy out here 😂. It’s looked great but character was baddddd
Agreed
Nailed it. The book is amazing,. This movie has so much wrong when you look past the visuals and sound.
Just ask yourself, in 12 months time would you rather watch this again or LOTR again ?
Deff watch lord of the rings
Dune, the book was written well before Star Wars to be fair. I love the book, and still thought it sucked. "Moses vs. the Grey People." LMAO. Nice.
Hahaha that’s how I see it anyway lol
the phantom menace was more entertaining than dune 2
Hahah least that movie had cool lightsabers am I right
@@RejectedHeroesMedia ikr! the jedi are so so cool in that movie
Bro i literally thought this same thought, cant hate on episode one and say dune 2 is great
Something happened to the world and creativity... doing my research i find that this happened exactly when the internet became available in homes!!! Crazy..... rip creativity
Maybe try Power Rangers then.
I’m glad I’m not alone. I skipped out on 2021 Dune and watched it last night. I absolutely loved it. I couldn’t wait to get into the sequel. Got out of the theater a couple hours ago and man I just could not get into the plot at all. It just wasn’t interesting to me. Don’t get me wrong there are parts that are great but it was hard to stay engaged with them when I come out of 30 mins of dialogue to get 5 mins of action. It just felt like a bridge to get us to the finish line with part 3. I’ll have to give it a rewatch when it hits streaming to see if anything changes for me. Overall, if you’re a Dune fan you’ll probably enjoy it but I wouldn’t recommend it to the average viewer. 2.5/5
Agreed with everything you said. It’s good in parts but overall I don’t see the hype
This movie was so ass I completely agree with you man I don't understand the hype about it and people people are getting so upset when I say I don't like it. Like i HAVE TO ENJOY TRASH. shit was dookie...great video and effort u put in brother thank you!
Exactly say it again “U DONT HAVE TO ENJOY TRASH”
Wish they build up their characters for us to connect to them. Their history, their conflicts, etc. The first movie was a snoozefest. Not gonna watch the 2nd one. 😅
Agreed
I was on the fence about going to see it today and googled "is dune 2 as boring as dune 1" and found your video. Thank you for reminding me of all the reasons I probably would regret going. The endless beige and grey, the characters I didn't care about, the dreary storyline... I am a fan of Chalamet so I might check it out when it's streaming and I don't have to venture out into the freezing rain to potentially be disappointed.
Also, just to say I like the respectful way you conduct yourself in the comments. A lot of people could take notes.
Appreciate you taking time to watch my video and comment. I deff agree that maybe streaming it when it comes on max could be a better root cause sitting through this 2 hr 40 min monster is rough ESPECIALLY IF U AREN’T ALREADY INVESTED. At the end of the day I’m happy and glad as many people are coming out to the theatre to see this film and they got their money well spent and enjoyed the film. Don’t wanna take any joy away from them :)
@@RejectedHeroesMedia That's right, lots of people like it and that's cool. You can't please everyone all of the time. My friends that I saw the first one with loved it. Funnily enough, I actually think the monochrome landscape was a big factor for me in why I found it difficult to engage with. My brain begins to switch off without some diversity in the surroundings keeping things interesting and it's harder to become invested. The time in the theatre was the deciding factor - if you're going to commit you have to be SURE! 😄
@@sallym2827 deff agree cause u feel every ounce of the run time
Boring, cringe, characters are flat, effects were decent but for what?
Exactly
Agree with your review. It was boring and way too long. I did like some of the visuals.
Thank u for seeing what I was trying say
And worms are like uber in dessert 😂😂😂
Hahaha Uber worms lol
100% agree bro, i h#ted the movie! I didn't like the first film either. It was so boring.
Thank u glad to see I wasn’t alone in this thinking
i liked austin butler in dune and i have never really liked him in anything. however the movie was a snooze fest. and i came in looking forward to chris waken, anya taylor joy and austin.
I agree, glad I’m not the only one
Together
I couldn't make it through the entire running time. It stunk!!
I made it to Feyd's gladiator fight, which ppl I heard liked. Then he was like told how to proceed by some chick. The harkonnen all white skinhead, so uninspired. 1980s Sting more intimidating. I looked over at my sleeping companion and hoped right out. Not even gonna bother with Furiosa.
Yeah, agree. It didnt really have the stakes and structure of the first. I felt something 3 times and it was because the score was so loud and epic.
Yeah, meh.
I foun Paul muttered about not being the one....and then changed his mind for some unclear reason....then yelled like a man about he was, not a terribly compelling change for me.
Technically great, good performances, designs, sets - but...for what?
yup, he "changed" because the voice "told him to to"
Glad to see I’m not alone on my feelings about this blockbuster
@@RejectedHeroesMedia they cudve made a GOT kind of series, long enough to describe the character developments
@@dhruv20 u know Warner bros THEY WANT ALL THEY MONEY RIGHT NOW QUICK FAST IN A HURRY regardless of production
Yeah I agree with “so what” WHY should I care? The movie never compelled the audience to care about the characters. It was so weird. Like on one hand the movie has amazing audio and visual plus stunning performances from Ferguson and butler, yet the movie just felt boring with a predictable yet confusing plot.
It was too long, too slow, too full of cliches. It had very impressive visuals, but there were so many things that felt novel at the beginning but never got any deeper and just kept doing the same thing over and over again for the next 2 hours. I was sick of the characters by the end. Too flat.
Thank u for sharing your thoughts with me and seeing where I was coming from. Deff movie isn’t the best thing since sliced bread
Totally agree with you guys. Glad I found this review and someone else that didn’t think it was a perfect 10 😃
Movie was meh. First half was good. After that is was boring. They tried so hard to make the Harkonnen dude seemed scary way too long. Plus, its way too serious. Crack a fucking joke or something 😂😂
Hahaha feel me
Exactly. Everybody was serious like damn.
Absolutely agree - Dune 2 was boring.
Big facts
Wish i watch this review before. I went yesterday to cinema with my son, with big expectations,
We left after hour and 30 minutes, we couldnt no more :(((
Awwww man couldn’t make it to the 2 hour mark huh
I just left the theater…. early….. by like an hour.
And I’m very glad. I regret even watching this movie.
Hshshs did u get to see the sand worms
I thought it was just me... I feel asleep... I was thinking maybe I'm just getting old and need to see an earlier movie... but then I finally woke up and saw other people in the theater not to enthusiastic
The movie looks beautiful but its still boring... in my opinion.
Trust me u we’re not alone in this 3 hour fest
I struggled getting through the first movie. Boring and the only thing keeping that one up was CGI. No problem about the bs people are talking about the white savior shit etc. Actors acted like they did not want to be there..or they are bad actors OR they got shitty script. Who the fuck knows. But this was not the worth of the hype in any ways.
Agreed
The movie is BORING. Characters stand in the desert and whisper about drug control and planets. The action and casting are poor. Zendaya and Chalamè are OVERRATED. More effort was put into marketing than the movie itself.
I’m glad I’m not alone lol
It was long and boring, except for those action scenes.
Agreed
Unfortunately even the action scenes weren't that good
average movie watcher
Masterpiece is subjective. I know some people who think Zoolander 2 is a masterpiece. All I can say to them and here is it's in the eye of the beholder and I can totally see why some would rather take a nap than watch this movie in its entirety. I am just pleased this video didn't proclaim the movie is offensive or an example of oppression for whatever made up reasons. While I loved it, I'm sorry many folks felt like it was a waste of time, but I totally get why people would feel that way with out a deep interest in the story or its characters. Great review tho.
I almost fell asleep.... man this movie was so boring that I just was clapping for it to end.... agonising experience 😢
Hahah what part did u almost sleep on
Too much noise, too long. Didn't connect with any of the characters. Christopher Walken looks Like he just woke out bed!
Haha maybe that’s why it look like he was wearing a night robe lol
Too much noise. Yeah damn right.
Thank you for this review! I thought I was going crazy or maybe watching a different movie. 😂 It was soon boring, I was waiting for it to be over just to say i saw it.
Agreed deff don’t need to watch again. Thank u for taking time to watch and comment on my video :)
I watched it on bootleg 😅
Lol oh damn
Thank YOU! I watched the first part right before the 2nd one too, was pretty excited and hopeful but damn did this movie bore me to tears
I did the exact same thing and felt the same like damm
Im so glad I read all the books way before any of the movies (including the tv series) came along .... at least I know how the actual story goes and where it heads to .... which is so far away from this piece of crap version 🙄
... tbh ... if you want a better insight to the story of Dune without reading the books, watch the sci-fi tv mini-series which covers the first 3 books (Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune) ... even thou the visuals are a bit on the budget side, its quite faithful to the books ... way more enjoyable than this new trash version 😃
Whenever a movie is hyped to the level this one is, be afraid… be very afraid
Yeah it’s wild cause I haven’t seen a movie this hyped hyped up in a while. I don’t even think Oppenheimer was this hyped
Afraid of too much fun?
No, afraid of BS, of course.
Terrible movie! I can’t believe people think it’s good.
Aye. Some people like what they like. Long as they having a good time
What makes it terrible?
Too many Marvel actors in this dung heap.
😅😅😅
Movie was such a piece of shit. Such a waste of time. I watched it imax because of all the hype on UA-cam. Such a disappointment. I came out in the middle of the movie
Damn didn’t see the end huh
@@RejectedHeroesMedia No Bro, i didn't have the patience to watch till end. It's was fking boring
Disney Starwars for adults 😅which isnt saying much
😅😅😅
When everything is shit a shinning piece of iron is diamond 😅 I respect the effort of the team but the end result was dull 😅
Exactly my friend
The fact that this very bland movie is so ludicrously overrated goes to show the TERRIBLE state of mainstream cinema these days. Dull, bland, boring. People say it's "visually stunning", that's funny. Stunning if you like beige I guess.
lol yeah the color scheme wasn’t very vibrant in most scenes
Compared to what we've been getting out of Hollywood, Dune 2 was transcendent.
I will say that being a sci fi fan will help with anyone's opinion. It's pretty hard-core for that genre
Movie made me fall asleep twice
Ouch twice
