For the person under this comment: there´s a reason why the movie is rated PG13. It is not for fragile little children. The first part had fight scenes too, so what did you expect? How braindead one has to be to give low rating just because their kid WHO ISN´T SUPPOSED TO WATCH THIS MOVIE in the first place was scared of some violent scenes? Cinematography, acting, VXF, sound editing...nothing matters because a kid was scared. Give me a break... The spider monster in Part 1 was far more disturbing than the fights. But somehow that was OK for the kid when he was even younger.
Based on part one, we decided to take our 11 year old. This was a failure on my part. The movie was incredibly violent and I had to take my son out halfway through. His face told me all I needed to know! I didn't enjoy it very much either. The violence overshadowed everything else. My son said he liked the worm riding part, lol.
Although I missed watching Part One first... The storyline & action sequence of all thespians & extras didn't drag on. Each scene was well played. Well worth the entertainment value. Rebecca FERGUSON; Zendaya; Lea SEYDOUX; & Florence PUGH were all stunning!! Austin BUTLER's performance was a stand alone throughout all his scenes --- kudos. The rest (all) of the casts were spot on in their respective characters.
Stands with empire strikes back and Lord of the rings two towers level of sequel
This is truly epic storytelling. Superb casting, directing and visual effects. A must see film .A great movie watching experience.
Superb special effects and appealing performers! Paul feels like a real person here, and we're on his side from the beginning. Lady Jessica is a stunner, as is the actress who plays Chani (Blade Runner's Sean Young).
The low ranting "reviews" must be paid Disney shills who try to sabotage the rival company. There is no other way how anyone could be so illiterate. And since when is the Lynch´s version "classic"? It´s an incomprehensible mess with shallow characters, while this new version has a time and the director has the skills to flesh out the characters, so people who haven´t read the books are not lost. And every frame is a painting. The switch to BW (actually infrared) for the arena fight under the black sun is brilliant!
Javier Bardem is the reason to see this movie, while Chalamet and Butler are alternatively sulky and laughably earnest. Even the sandworms disappoint and the score drones on and on for close to three hours. Best options are to read the book or watch the original classic in 4K; this sleeper is busy snoring away.
Two hours and 45 minutes of wanton violence here. Yeah, yeah... It's about evil. There's a lot of it. Hans Zimmer soundtrack was OK. Zendea was cool. But the violence!
This movie is the best. Haven't seen a movie this good in a long time.
