Dune Part 2: Let’s first show you all the trailers, shall we?

So, where to begin? First, let’s mention that this will not be the last Dune movie. The director confirmed that he’s working on a script for Part 3…unfortunately, that is years away from happening. He said that the movie is years away from being developed…which I guess is a good thing. Because that gives the director time to work on the script and ensure it’s good…

Hey, good for him. He definitely should take his time…..also I have this 2nd movie to thank for making me have a new appreciation for Dune Part 1 that I sure as hell didn’t have when Dune Part 1 came out back in 2021……

BTW, this movie seemed like it was destined to keep getting delayed. The film was initially delayed due to the pandemic…then delayed a second-time last year. Yeah, this movie was supposed to come out November 23rd of 2023…but instead got shifted to March 1st, 2024,, why? Easy because of the writers/actors strike that went on for months…oh boy, that whole incident….yeah I’m glad this film finally came out, but we went through quite a bit to get it…so now let’s get into the rating before we get to the spoilers…

So overall, I loved this movie a lot. It’s filled with action and a captivating story that’s filled with emotions. Still, this film has the same issue as Part 1: I’ll never be able to remember these characters’ names (hell, for both reviews, I had to look up their names) because we the audience don’t get enough time with each character and thoroughly get to like them…..I mean, we like them from a surface level but not like Pirates of the Caribbean or Shrek kind of level of liking the characters….or Star Wars, for a matter of fact…

What? I had to mention Star Wars somewhere because it’s appropriate for this since the Dune books went on to inspire Star Wars…….so overall, I’ll give Dune Part 2 a solid 9/10

BTW, the director is getting some flack for saying something in an article. He said, and I quote, “I don’t like telling stories with dialog, but instead I like telling stories through visuals.” In my humble opinion, that explains why you won’t be walking away from these two movies knowing any of the characters on a deeply personal level….

Spoiler warning from here on now, massive spoilers ahead if u don’t want to continue reading yall dont. But if yall do then plz feel free to.

So, without further due, let’s get into the review, shall we?

The movie opens up with the words “Power over spice is power over all” then the opening logos appear…

So we start off with this movie with a marathon by Princess Irulan who telling her diary that her plus everyone including her father The Emperor have been shocked by the death of Duke Leto Atreides….the Emperor thought of him as a son….but the issue is the Emperor always executed things based on power…yeah that will do it….

We then pick right up where the ending of Part 1 ended…where the group is heading back with Paul Atreides and his mother, Lady Jessica, and the bagged-up corpse of Jamis…back to their secret hideout, on the way, they have to hide because House Harkonnen sends some patrols out to hunt them down….the soldiers are wearing entirely black clothing with visors covering their faces, why because their eyes don’t do well against the sun’s on this planet…..anyways the gang hides, take down the soldiers…

The soldiers jump up to the side of uh. It’s as if there’s no gravity like there is on the moon. It’s such an excellent visual…

Also, we got a fantastic shot of Paul and his mom under the rock hiding while the dead bodies of the Harkonnen soldiers plump onto the ground beneath them one by one….thump, thump, thump…

They also use their gadgets to attract the water out of the dead bodies so they can drink, except they can’t drink this water…they say the water from the House Harkonnen men is toxic,….ok then why take it? Anyways, Lady Jessica ends up throwing up after seeing that…. get this: the Arrakis religion doesn’t allow you to waste water in any way, such as by vomiting up water that you recently drank or crying….it’s frowned upon….oh jeepers, the Fremen are strict

Anyway, now onto House Harkonnen. We see what the Harkonnens are up to, and They are still here on planet Arrakis at base Arrakeen…to collect spice…while Glossu Rabban is just yelling at his men, telling them the rats are destroying us!! (Rats being the sand people) (no, not that sand people from Star Wars)…

BTW the Harkonnens at the table wearing some sorta Headgear is giving me heavy The Borg Vibes….no seriously, go watch this movie, and you will see why…..

One of his men says, you should get some rest, and Glossu decides to repay the guy’s kindness by smashing his head into the panel…well, I feel bad for anyone who’s a right-hand man to these people. If you stare at them wrongly, you will get your head beaten in…

Glossu: Rats! Kill them all! Kill the Rats! Kill all the Rats!!

So the Fremen head back to camp, where most people immediately consider Paul Atreides their Messiah, and the others think he’s an outsider and doesn’t belong here….well this is going to be interesting….

So Stilger shows Lady Jessica their most sacred water…..it’s water that has been sucked out of the dead and placed so the souls can rest….heck we see the process happen to Jami’s corpse during the procedure they do on him to lay him to rest…..so Lady Jessica sheds a tear, and Stilger wipes it away and says don’t waste water for anything…and he licks the tear, ah eww

Anyway, things get worse. Lady Jessica is asked to become the Reverend Mother, which she doesn’t want to…., but she’s given the option to do that or die…wow what great options she has, so she takes the offer…..the ritual is painful…

They force her to drink this blue liquid called the water of life…which will cause her to die and be reborn, but also grant her the powers to serve the future and feel the pain of others (what a horrible gift if u ask me) anyways she revives now with blue eyes, but here’s a slight issue she was pregnant with a little girl so now she can talk to her unborn fetus in her stomach….ok this can get very uncomfortable for people I can tell…

(BTW, quick thing to mention: I won’t be describing scene by scene; I’m just giving the context to how we got to here, and from now on, I will be providing the abridged versions of events of the story with spoilers, of course)

Anyway, the mother is unconscious, the religious people believe that she is alive like foreseen, and Paul Atreides is the Messiah, except he points out science and logic. He says no, my mom learned how to survive this…I’m not a Messiah, yet Stilger and the others are like Nah, the Messiah…..good grief, Chani starts noticing Paul because he also agrees he is no Messiah…. by the way, the fetus does survive…apparently in the books, she goes on to being born and becoming very powerful…huh, I didn’t know that. I looked it up…

BTW Lady Jessica can now talk to her unborn baby…..uh huh, that’s strange…that’s really strange…

BTW what I like about this movie is that it is not the stereotypical version of the messiah prophecy type of story, no far from it….this film doesn’t have the chosen one thing as we know. It’s a false prophecy that’s created by the Reverend Mother and her group of cultists to manipulate people to their whim in there favor….so anyone can become the messiah so they can manipulate….yeah isn’t that intriguing?

So from here on, Paul Atreides starts learning the sand folk’s way…he learns how to walk the way they do the sand walk, he learns how to survive by using a tent and small equipment to survive a night alone in the desert, and he learns how to reserve his water portions….he gets help from Slinger and Chani (who are the only two people who have faith in Paul by the way) for two entirely different reasons which we will get into

That being, Slinger heavily believes Paul is their Mosiah, while Paul doesn’t think he is….Chani doesn’t either. She just sees Paul as a person that she ends up falling in love with….yeah things are going to get complicated…..so anyway, eventually, they have Paul do a final test, which is to summon a sandworm using the sandworm caller, which can only be placed in areas where it’s hollow ground…..he plops it in the thumping starts, which by the way the sound is so cool sounding…

Anyway, he ends up summoning a giant rare sandworm, anyways he jumps onto it…., and uses his two rope spikes to hold onto the worm so he can stand on it….he ends up surfing the worm (Scoffs) showoff…which is funny because Stigler said don’t showoff, just do the basics do something simple…….

This could have come off so stupid, like riding a horse like a cowboy, but luckily they didn’t make it look silly…. they made this look so damn cool

Anyway, also, we see Glossu is a coward. We see him and his men head into the flying vehicles from the first movie that the House Atreides rode….which, a reminder in case y’all forgot, are grey military-type helicopters. Still, instead of Repellers, there are metallic firefly-type wings that flap rapidly…

We see the sun affects each of them…1 of them vomits on the plane, and the others put down their visors….while Glossu just tries to push through with no visors…he’s badass, Lolo…. by the way reason, Glossu is just angry in this film is because they have lost about 80% of there profit due to the Fremen attacking and destroying there spice digging machines

So they get to one of the Fremens (as I like to call them, sand people) people’s, but they get ambushed by the sand people, and they retreat…..uh huh yep, cowards….he’s a joke to the Harkonnen name…..

Anyway, now, onto our next villain. We finally get to see The Emperor who runs House Corrino. He also runs a group called the Imperium…

Ok, seriously, George? Empire? Imperium? U can’t make this shite up, people and this guy blatantly ripped off things from Dune for Star Wars…oh don’t worry. The blatant copy and pasting doesn’t end here.

Anyway, The Emperor (played by Christopher Walken), his daughter named Princess Irulan (played by Florence Pugh), and her mother…..the Reverend Mother, yup, her…..ok back to them later because we barely see Christopher Walken in this movie…..

Back to House Harkonnen, we get introduced to a new character named  Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (played by Austin Butler). Man, he’s making a name for himself in Hollywood, especially after his prominent role as Elvis in the Elvis movie…..anyways we see him getting ready for a gladiator pit, for you see, Ira, his birthday, and this is how he celeb, rates it….by killing the prisoners in an arena to show how strong he is, in front of thousands of his men…

Anyways, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen goes out in the arena, three drugged men come out to attack him, except one of them isn’t drugged, which is cheating, so everyone is like, they should call off the match…but he doesn’t. also Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is watching his nephew fighting the three men….he tells him to show me the real u…

Anyway, he gets his two knives and decides to kill his woman slaves with his knives. Once again, these guys just constantly kill….also the women are enslaved. Yeah, that’s dark.

The best time to mention is that this scene will be considered the iconic scene because the entire scene is in black and white. Now why is it in black and white? Well, according to the director, he wanted this scene to be in black and white to show us that everything on the Harkonnen planet is drained of color…..

How did they film this scene? What yall think? They filmed it and drained the scene of color. No, the. Filmed this scene with infrared cameras…now that is cool and clever if you ask me….. I also forgot to mention we see these weird blobs of black ink, which I think are supposed to be fireworks? Fabulous; it adds an alien feel. To this entire planet, by the way here’s the fantastic soundtrack that goes with this scene…

Anyways, during the arena, Feyd-Rautha struggles a bit against the guy who isn’t drugged, so they send out the guards who are wearing full black spandex suits with black-covered faces and weird pointy jester headpieces and sharp, long black nails….this does remind me a bit of H.R Giger….

BTW I like that Feyd-Rautha has some rather weird sense of honor to him when he finds out one of the men he’s fighting isn’t drugged, he decides to turn off his shield to give him a somewhat fair fight…and when Feyd-Rautha kills the guy he doesn’t have a big maniacal dialog…no he holds the guys head and tells him you fought well…now that’s very honorable, he’s not just a stereotypical psychopath…no he has a layer of honorable to him…

I also like that during this fight, Feyd-Rautha is roaring during the battle like a wild animal…..

So after the arena, Baron promises Feyd-Rautha that he can make him the new Emperor….oh pleasant, by the way if yall wondering how he’d become Emperor? Easy if word came out that the Emperor had Baron Vladimir Harkonnen help eliminate the Atreides a war would happen, and the Emperor would lose his position of power…..ohhhhhh blackmail…

So then this random woman, Lady Margot Fenring (played by Léa Seydoux) (same new Bond Lady in No Time To Die and Specter) Anyways, the nun lady lures Feyd-Rautha into her room. She does the same box test that the Reverend Mother did to Paul in the first movie… they have him put his hand in the box and have a poison needle aimed at his neck….

To quote George Lucas, “It’s like poetry. It rhymes.” It turns out she did this because the Reverend Mother had her go there to do the test on him to see how powerful he is so they can use him to their advantage…now why didn’t the Reverend Mother go herself? Because Feyd-Rautha wouldn’t like mother-like characters since he killed his mom….yep he’s a psychopath…

BTW, the Reverend Mother’s plan just comes off stupid in this movie….she knows Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen is a full-blown sociopath and psychopath…yet she wants to see if they can control him….she says oh, I know he’s psycho. It doesn’t matter…what matters is, can we control him…..can you control a psychopath? Uh, no, he’s a psychopath. There’s no controlling a psychopath…especially when we get the diagnosis from Lady Margot Fenring that Feyd-Rautha is a psychopath. He cherishes causing pain of any sort…

Also, he is vulnerable when it comes to dating…..she hints that he might have impregnated her because she says the bloodline is secured as u requested…while she rubs her stomach…ok that’s just freaking uncomfortable…also oh yes, such a stable guy, yep controlling him sounds like the correct approach….

We then see Baron Vladimir Harkonnen giving his nephew Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen a Harkonnen house necklace to promote him….and as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is about done kissing Feyd-Rautha on the cheek. Feyd-Rautha gives a kiss back to the Baron on the lips.

Fun fact: that scene of Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen kissing Baron Vladimir Harkonnen on the lips wasn’t in the script. Austin Butler improvised that scene….huh, that’s a clever addition they decided to keep in. Also no kidding. It wasn’t planned…I could tell because Stellan Skarsgård gave a “huh?” Kinda look at Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

So, moving on, during one of Paul and the sand people’s attacks, they try attacking a giant digging machine that has these metallic claws that dig into the ground for spice…..we also see Gurney Halleck on board….turns out he survived the Siege on Atreides back in Part 1…he’s now a mercenary that finds spice to sell….anyways Paul and Gurney have a reunion. He tells him I recognized your steps, old man…

This resembles the line he said in the first movie to him, again to quote George Lucas, “It’s like poetry, it rhymes.” anyways Gurney becomes a part of the tribe, to everyone’s distaste because they think he’s not worthy….which ok yeah no he isn’t ready to be apart of the tribe….he isn’t good at surviving out there, so Chani has to help him out….how sweet…..Paul wants him to stay with them because, and I quote, he is family…
So, moving on, we finally see how the water of life gets made. The new Reverend Mother goes to this small cave and asks a woman to show her how it’s made…we see the lady go into a small pit, lure a small baby worm out, let it wrap around her, and then take it to a water pool and drown the baby worm…..then proceeds to use a gadget to drain the liquid out of the mouth of the dead baby worm…..yep

So the Reverend Mother tells her that Paul will come on by later and ask to drink it….let him, and the woman says, but he will die…no men can survive the drink only woman can..and the new Reverend Mother says in a deep voice “LET HIM TRY!!” Yeah, remember that this is Paul’s Mother, and she’s manipulating the situation and trying to corrupt him…..yeah, I think what’s horrifying about this is that the person manipulating Paul is his mother……

BTW I forgot to mention it, so I’ll say it here. Still, for most of this movie, Paul Atreides becomes known as Paul Muad’Dib Usal….so anyways, Gurney Halleck eventually tells Paul about how he hid a vault in a cave that holds millions of nukes….in Gurney Halleck’s words, there are enough nukes in there to blow up the world…..metaphorically speaking, by the way Stilger is questioning Gurney why he hid the nukes in an ordinary cave? He says it because it’s too obvious, so no one would ever dare to look in there…

Stilger says that’s stupid….and Gurney says did you find the nukes? Stilger says no, I wasn’t looking…..Lolo, so they go inside. Paul has to open the door, it’s only accessible by his bloodline…they find all the nukes inside…. Anyway, that night, while they’re asleep, they hear some bombing noises go off…they all wake up, wondering what the hell. Paul notices Chani on a hill looking in the distance…he goes up to check on her…she’s okay, but she is in shock…

Here’s why: in the distance, the Harkonnens have found one of their hidden territories, and they are bombing them from the outside….oh no, we see the building collapsing on their sacred water…now usually, I don’t care for water as a source of an object for our main characters but this is there most sacred water….water is holy to them, so I feel emotionally attached because I feel for them….

Anyways Baron Vladimir is congratulating Feyd-Rautha. He says old tech. What a clever idea we’re melting rock onto them….. by the way the old tech there using are there are ships that heavily remind me of Boba Fetts/Jango Fetts ships…in fact it’s so eerily similar that i almost can say… not gonna do that again let’s move on….so one of Feyd-Rautha Lieutenants tells him it’s a bad idea to go in the Fremens base even though Feyd-Rautha wants to….

So he slits the guy’s throat again, really? I can’t see the benefit of anyone being the Harkonnens Lieutenants. They just end up getting killed just because they probably stared at them wrongly…..

We also get to see one of my favorite scenes of Glossu Rabban entering the control room where Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen are plotting how to enter the Fremen’s temple…he decides to knock Glossu on the floor and puts a knife to his neck. He says you dishonored this family…kiss my feet or die, and I just like the expression Glossu gives. He gives the Do I really have to do this? Oh God, fine, kind of face. So he kisses Feyd-Rautha foot….ooff

Fun fact: Austin Butler, for his role of Feyd-Rautha, approached Denis Villeneuve with the idea that since Feyd-Rautha is all about wanting to be the next ruler and looks up to the ideal ruler (that being Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, played by Stellan Skarsgård) so he thought what if Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen voice resembles Stellan Skarsgård, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen..

Which Denis Villeneuve said, I’ll sleep on it. Sometime later, he came back to Austin and said yes, great idea, Do it…..I like that response “I’ll sleep on it” yep that’s definitely a response

So then The Harkonnens go in and burn the birds that the Fremen had aw…all the Fremen have left south, while one got captured…Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen asks the Fremen u killed 9 of my men with a blade? His men say she won’t talk, which Feyd-Rautha says, tell her it’s OK, I know everything I need to know, now it’s time for pain…. and he takes a flamethrower then sets her on fire….damn that’s cold-hearted of him….

Anyway, Paul decides to head north by himself to drink the water of life, even though he’s been told not to…..he gets to the temple, and he drinks the water of life.

Paul Atreides has a vision of the future where planet Arrakis has an ocean now, and he sees his newborn sister all grown up into a teen. Her name is Princess Aleia (played by Anna Taylor Joy)….also seriously, George? Princess Leia? Princess Aleia? Oh wait, I keep forgetting it’s “inspiration” (I say sarcastically)….. by the way, all she tells Paul is I love you and that you’re not ready for what’s to come…

Wow, remember how her role was hyped up so much that everyone was calling this the Anna Taylor Joy movie? Well, I sure hope u enjoyed those 6 to 7 lines of dialog because that all you get of her in this film…lolo

Anyways, then Chani comes in an Ornithopter, and she rushes in to see Paul unconscious, near death…she asks why did he do that!? Which of course, his mother doesn’t help the situation. She says that Paul needed to see the future, to become the one….or something like that.

She blames the mother and tells her to help her son on her own. Still, apparently, Chani can only save Paul…so she wipes a tear from her face, asks them to bring the water of life, and dips her finger into the jar, then proceeds to put the finger with a drop of the water of life on it and her other finger with her tear on it…

Anyways, Paul wakes up, and Chani asks if he’s OK. He says, yeah, and she slaps him…..Lolo then walks off, and now Paul has revived into a villain….I wish I were kidding, but he does walk back to the group, who are all in prayer session…where Chani is trying to tell Stilger to stop all this, and he has the power too…yeah sorry, he won’t. That guy is a religious nut job….she walks away and says this prophecy is how they enslave us! So then Gurney pulls her down to tell her to keep her mouth shut, or she’ll end up getting herself killed….

BTW Paul does tell his mom he knows she is the daughter of, get this, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen….dunn dun dun, so that means Paul is a Harkonnen…oh Jesus

So Paul comes in wearing a black cape and makes a speech that he is their Messiah, how no one is strong enough to challenge him, and that he will lead them to victory!!! Stilger asks what does he foresee for them. Which Paul says a land of green!……this gets all of them to start praying…well, everyone except for Chani, that is…

He then pulls out his dad’s ring and puts it on. Well, this now shows he’s entirely accepted the responsibility of his house name, unlike in the first movie, in which he didn’t want that burden…he puts it on and screams I am Paul Atreides! Son of Duke Atreides! From House Atreides! I have God’s hand as my witness today!…..ok seriously, Paul is starting to scare me. He doesn’t resemble the typical type of hero we’re used to….

Yeah, sorry, ain’t nothing heroic here about Paul Atreides. I mean, he just came in, yelled at the Fremen, and then said, “Your God foresaw me coming! U should fear this moment!”. Oh yes, how heroic sounding of him…yep that’s what a hero says to there men…ain’t nothing evil about him at all no…

Anyways, the Emperor gets a message from Paul, which basically says he challenges the Emperor…..he sends him a note, and this confirms Paul Atreides is indeed alive…..Princess Irulan takes this info to the Reverend Mother and tells her Paul is still alive….she then asks if the Reverend Mother had anything to do with convincing her father, The Emperor, to kill Duke Leto Atreides and his family. Which she says yep, I did, and I am glad I did….

Dun dun, she explains that for many centuries they worked with the Atreides, but they were becoming a bit of a problem, so they had to wipe them out, and that Paul isn’t the only person for the role of Messiah….there are others they can use……again this is some Game Of Thrones-type level of backstabbing planning type shit you would see in Game Of Thrones….I like it…this specifically reminds me of how Tywin Lannister was pulling the strings behind the scenes…

While there was a king I’m charge, for example Joffrey….it was Tywin Lannister who was pulling thr strings, making sure things fell in the right places and correct paths……

So now The Emperor, his men, his daughter, and the Reverend Mother and her cultist nuns, head out to planet Arrakis…..Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and Feyd-Rautha notice the Emperor is arriving. By the way, Quick thing to mention: I just love that the black levitating throne the Baron is sitting in, really looks similar to the Emperor’s throne chair in Star Wars Return of The Jedi…..again George Lucas is ripping off Dune…for the umpteenth time!

So the Baron plus Feyd-Rautha and Glossu Rabban show up at the Emperor’s vessel he arrived in, which is a giant metallic ball….anyways the Emperor isn’t pleased he starts asking what they know about this Muad’Dib….he wants to find out info (granted he already knows it’s Paul, he just testing the Harkonnens if they ever knew or if they are worthless and not of any use)…

Of course, they’re useless. They say they are nothing but vermin….that they died or are in hiding…so The Emperor has one of his guards come up behind Vladimir Harkonnen and cut off his life support floating bubbles and cut the metal spine so he can float……oooooohhhhh

So anyways, Paul and his men are about to attack. He makes a plan that Chani and her group attack the fortress from the south while he and his group will attack from the north….Gurney says then I’ll serve them up desert……also, Paul wants The Emperor alive, so they leave to execute their plan…so the team launches two missiles behind the base, causing sand clouds to blind the guards….then out of the clouds, three, giant sandworms come out of it…being ridden by the Fremen….

They attack the men by using the sandworms to eat them up. Now I love this shot of all three sandworms coming out of the clouds; we just see how big and intimidating they are….anyways Chani and her group attack from the south, and we see her in the battlefield wearing similar armor that Paul saw I his vision of him in the battlefield In the first movie…and she’s kneeling over in a same stance, panting while holding a knife. “It’s like poetry. It rhymes”.

So anyways, Paul and his men storm into the vessel where the Emperor is, while Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is trying to crawl up the stairs to the throne. So then Paul enters the place Proceeds to walk up towards the throne past the Emperor and his guards who are all off to the side of the room. So Paul walks up to the crawling Baron and he whispers to the Baron “hello grandfather” the Baron looks at him with a expression of shock…

Then Paul takes a knife out then proceeds to stab the Baron in the neck, so thats how the Baron dies? Yep, so then he tells his men to take the Emperor ans his men in as prisoners…and take out the Barons body to the desert so the ants can feast on him…uh ewww…

Anyways Gurney and his men are in a battle with the Harkonnens, they’re slicing down the Harkonnens with little to no ease….Gurney then spots Glossu Rabban trying to board his vessel….he yells out Glossu name, which Glossu says ahh look who’s back from the dead…then he tries to attack Gurney but instead Gurney gets the upper hand then takes a knife out and stabs Glossu in the neck…..ooofff

Well like father like son I guess, both died by being stabbed in the neck, also both died being the pathetic dweebs they were…..so then they regroup back at one there bunker bases, Paul asks Gurney to bring in the prisoners…which he does go get them….the Fremen get a chair for there Reverend Mother (who’s Paul’s mother) to sit in, Chani tells Paul this isn’t over yet…which Paul says I just want u to know I will always love u while I still breathe….aww that’s cute, can’t wait to see how long that lasts…

So then the prisoners come in…..The Emperor warns Paul of an entire fleet up in orbit…the fleet consists of the rest of the great houses….Paul tells Gurney to send a word out to them if they don’t accept him as their new ruler, he will use the bombs to blow up the spice…The Emperor says are you mad? Feyd-Rautha says he’s bluffing…..then the original Reverend Mother says stop and think about what you’re doing…then Paul says, SILENT!

Which causes the Reverend Mother to fall down in shock….ohhh snap, this mirrors how in the first movie she commanded Paul to be silent, using that same voice….”It’s like poetry. It rhymes”…..anyways the Emperor says u will bow to me…which Paul says bow? U will be lucky if u keep ur feet…..step down from ur position and give me ur daughter…she’ll be safe here, we will both rule together and become Emperor and Empress…but u have to answer for my slaying of my father…

Well, guess that I’ll love u Chani for as long as I breathe lasted all of what 1 min? What a record….so then The Emperor says “You wanna know why I had ur father be executed? It’s because he was Ruling with the heart, but the heat isn’t meant to rule. In other words he was weak”…..like I keep saying its like Ned Stark, he also misunderstood the rules of the Throne, tried ruling with kindness and all that got him was death…..u cannot rule if ur kind and generous, it doesn’t get u anywhere.

So then Paul says stand down or send ur champion…which Feyd-Rautha says I am here, I’ll need a blade….Paul then says I accept….

So then The Emperor’s men hand Feyd-Rautha a knife, Paul pulls out his knife…they stand in front of each other…Paul says I’m glad we finally got to meet…cousin, which Feyd-Rautha says cousin? Is that so? Well u wouldn’t be the first relative I kill..

Paul: May thy knife chip and shatter

Feyd-Rautha: (scoffs) May thy knife chip and shatter

They both start fighting…Paul at first is losing he gets stabbed, Feyd-Rautha jabs a knife into Paul’s side..then Feyd-Rautha starts slowly walking over to Chani then looks back at Paul and says is that ur pet? Any special requirements for the pet? Ohhh God that’s just nasty….this is wrong, anyways Paul pushes through but gets stabbed again….Paul is about to be stabbed a third time but he grabs ahold of Feyd-Rautha knife that he’s trying to plunge into Paul, so Paul starts panting hard then Feyd-Rautha falls to the floor as well…uh oh..

He looks down and realizes that Paul took out the second knife and stabbed Feyd-Rautha in the chest…..YES YES! Awesome call back to the first movie how Gurney taught him that he needs to be more observant during a knife fight…so Feyd-Rautha says u have fought well Atreides….then falls to the floor and dies….dunnnnn!

Then Paul takes the knife out of his chest and walks over to The Emperor, ready to stab him….Princess Irulan says a life has been taken, I’ll be your willing bride, and my father will step down…..The room goes silent. The Emperor stares at Paul…. and then Paul lifts his bloody hand with his dad’s ring on his finger…The Emperor stands there. Paul wants him to kneel and kiss his hand…so he stomps on the floor hard (Stomp)…

So The Emperor finally caves in and kneels with his men…and he kisses Paul’s ring…woo-hoo, I guess? I say I think because now Chani is, of course, upset, so she leaves…she storms on out, hey, good on her….Gurney says the fleet doesn’t accept your warning. What should we do? Paul says (and I kid u not, I shuttered as soon as he said the lines) “Show them paradise”..

God, that’s cold, yep all the Fremen start cheering happily. They all start boarding ships to go into space to go to war…..yeah Paul is about to lead them to their doom. This is not good…not good at all…

We then see Lady Jessica, Reverend Mother, standing on a platform talking to her pregnant stomach, saying your brother is leading the Fremen to victory….” The Holy War” has begun…..ohhhhhh remember back in Dune Part 1 how Paul had a vision of the Holy War? Well, now it’s come true….ok yeah, this is definitely not good.

So then The film ends with Chani on her own calling a sandworm to come pick her up…as she stares in the scenery with a depressed angry look….the film turns black and credits pop up…..wow that was just wow….now I understand kinda what the director meant by he doesn’t fully like telling stories using dialog….that face right there Chani made, it had no dialog but it wasn’t necessary…we the audience could tell what she was thinking just by that one single facial expression….

U have outdone yourself, Denis
Villeneuve,  you have successfully done the impossible. You have adapted Dune in a way to appeal to the fan base, all while appealing to newcomers like me. It also appeals to the average moviegoers…now granted, this movie plus the first movie won’t be for everyone..not everyone is going to love these two movies. Keep that in mind, but I absolutely loved this movie a lot…

It’s pretty apparent that Paul Atreides was never the good guy here…more like Chani was the only good person. Just like Anakin, both he and Paul fell to the dark side, and both were part of a sort of plow in the chosen one prophecy ordeal…. you really feel for Chani. She just lost the person who told her he would always love her forever….as stated, Paul isn’t a good guy, nor is he the hero who will save the day. He’s clearly about to lead the Fremen down a dark path.

By the way I got to make this clear, the way this movie ends….if they never do make a part 3 (but they are) but I’m saying if they wouldn’t or couldn’t then it wouldn’t matter if it ended here. The way this movie ends it wrapped up the events the first movie setted up….but from what I hear from Dune fans is that the 3rd parts story will be way more important then the story we saw in Dune Part 1 and Dune Part 2….huh that’s interesting….I wonder how it will be a much more important story?

People saying part 3 will adapt the second book Dune Messiah, I mean maybe…..it would make sense well according to the fan base. Also the director as stated only wants to make 3 parts then be done with Dune because he believes the books went down hill after the first few books…understandable…

Ladies and gentlemen I ask u to go to the theaters ans give this movie a chance, it needs to especially be seen on the big screen in IMAX….also watch Dune Part 1 which Is on Max….anyways I hope yall enjoy my review and hope yall enjoy the movie…would love to hear yaml opinions on this film in the comment section…
