Guys dont forget the book is older than Star Wars... Everyone is comparing this to star wars when it should be opposite

Very happy they used Princess Irulan to narrate the opening via her diary entries. In the books she is an important historian who documented the history of Muad’dib. Snippets from her writings were used as openings for chapters.

When the movie ended, I leaned across the theater aisle to my mom and asked how she'd have felt if she'd had to listen to me and my brother's idiot thoughts through her pregnancies. She smacked my shoulder.

I find it to be a good bit of writing, that Paul is known as "muad'dib" or "desert mouse" and rabban constantly refers to the fremen as rats.

Paul wins that final fight with the same move that Gurney used to win their sparring match at the start of Part One.

Timothee is so freaking good. Paul's speech is CHILLING. Every. Time.

Fun fact: Timonthee Chalamet was a large wrestling fan as a child, and Dave Bautista was actually one of his favorite wrestlers to watch

When Jessica took the Water of Life, her fetus became completely aware. You can see her possess Jessica from time to time. Alia will be born with all the knowledge and power of a full Reverend Mother.

In regards to Chani, remember Paul said "She'll come to understand. I've seen it."

@52:21 Steven's reaction here is the exact one I had during this movie. I was speechless and shaking. Paul is terrifying, and this movie affected me very deeply. It is a testament to the source material and how great Dennis translated it to the screen. The story is a warning. Paul is charismatic yes, but he is also a villain. A villain others helped create.

Austin Butler really gave Feyd his very personal interpretation. The second kiss with Baron Vladimir was not scripted and he made the way Feyd spoke sound like his uncle, since the character had been raised by him.

I think Villeneuve pulled off what many considered an impossibility in Hollywood by not only adapting Herbert's books without losing the spirit of it, but hitting it out of the park! For such a long time, it was pretty much a truism that Dune could never be adapted to the silver screen successfully. I'm more happy about the movies getting the reception they have over the actual work (though, the works themselves are fantastic in and of themselves too, obviously), because it's both a breath of fresh air, and ostensibly a fat middle finger to the generational naysayers. Let's also recognize that that Dune I&II are far above the movie median of these past few years. Used to be we got true blockbusters multiple times a year, true classics that, ironically, allows this sort of YT content to flourish, but now we're pretty lucky if we get one true crowd pleaser a year.

the black and white is because it was shot with infrared cameras. its supposed to represent the light spectrum of a "black star"

Dune was one of the major inspirations for Lucas making Star Wars and after so many decades we finally have a director armed with the technology that could do it justice on film. Dune really is to Sci-fi what LotR is to fantasy.

When combined with Part 1.. Dune is one of the greatest pieces of science fiction ever put to film. Part 2 is a masterpiece. It's a shame you two didn't see this in IMAX, it was such an experience, but great to see your reaction.

This movie had you guys so speechless (understandably) that several of us were wondering how the reaction would turn out. 😂 You did a MASTERFUL job of cutting all this into an enjoyable watch. 🤘🏻

Stilgar being a solid hype man, respect🤙🏽 Lisan-Al Gaib! Also, I love the fact that the Fremen kicked the Harkons eyes with some dirt by burning their bodies, as they were not worth their body's water.

The real villain of the Dune saga: cults of personality and charismatic leadership.

What they did with Chani at the end was NOT how it went down in the book. After killing Feyd-Rautha, Paul did indeed subjugate the emperor and claim his daughter's hand in a political move to seal his claim to the throne, but Paul made it very, very clear to Chani that the princess would lead a barren, isolated life, as he would never touch her. Chani would officially be known as a concubine, but in every way that matters, she is his wife, his only love, and the mother of his children. She understood this and remained at his side. I think what they did with Chani at the end of this movie was kind of a cliffhanger setup for a possible 3rd movie based on the next book, Dune Messiah. I grew up loving Star Wars the way you do. But when I first read Dune and found out George Lucas "borrowed" heavily from Dune for the creation of Star Wars, it really changed the way I see it. Dune is literally the grandfather of modern Sci-Fi.
