DUNE 2 was absolutely phenomenal. The definition of the word epic. Those near 3-hours went by quickly. Holy shit. pic.twitter.com/kFDHiQrI5p

Dune Part 2 is the brilliant sum of a director’s uncompromised, unapologetic vision of a grand, galactic soap opera.
It’s like someone put cameras down on a real war happening on a different planet. The scale of this film is profound and epic, unbelievable.
What an achievement pic.twitter.com/z1oVH0QJbU

DUNE PART 2 is masterful. Scale, scope, spectacle. A deeper exploration of theme and character, with intent & complexity. Epic action, awesome visuals. So many young stars get to craft definitive work. Hans Zimmer! Religious fanaticism, imperialism, and the hero myth exposed. 👏 pic.twitter.com/HHvcwn0h25

DUNE 2 was incredible. So many impressive shots, battle sequences, one-on-one fight scenes. The cast is perfect together. All 2.5+ hrs feel necessary. Captivating from start to end. I already thought Part 1 was special, but wow that was everything I wanted it to be.

Picking up where Dune left off, Paul and Chani’s budding romance has grown into a full-on relationship between the foreign Caladanian and native, Fremen woman. Between shared moments alone atop sand dunes and fighting off the Harkonnens together in glorious scenes of combat, these star-crossed lovers are meant for each other!
I think part of what makes #DunePart2 so special is the on-screen chemistry between Zendaya & Timothee Chalamet. Dune 2 is as a massively scaled film: from set-pieces to sound production, filmmaking doesn’t get bigger. But if you strip Dune 2 down and remove all its technical… pic.twitter.com/r41PnOCuB2

Timothee Chalamet & Zendaya so beautifully capture the essence of the warm yet tragic Paul Atreides & Chani relationship. These two will be two of our biggest movie stars for so many years to come. As will the equally magnificent Austin Butler & Florence Pugh. #DunePartTwo pic.twitter.com/PaBEh9n6F6

Returning to the role of Paul Atreides, Timothee Chalamet blows fans away in his career-best performance as the Fremen’s prophetic savior and leader to victory against the opposing Harkonnens!
You remember when Denis Villeneuve said he wouldn’t have tackled Dune if Timothée Chalamet hadn’t agreed to play Paul Atreides? I get it now. #DunePartTwo pic.twitter.com/sJcLqCNPR7

I am shaken. It will take me a bit to collect my thoughts but DUNE PART TWO is transcendent. Every single beat is crafted with the most masterful care. Greig Fraser is a GOD. the film looks stunningly beautiful the entire time. And Chalamet delivers a game changing performance. pic.twitter.com/gcQjVw7Chc

No big deal, just Timothée Chalamet giving an Oscar-worthy performance in #DunePart2 pic.twitter.com/6wrzcv4ycR

From her minor role in the latter half of the first film, to being a mainstay character throughout the entirety of Part 2, Zendaya has given fans exactly what they wanted from the Fremen warrior, Chani!
Zendaya’s portrayal of Chani trul shined. the effort to be a moral compass for her lover but the duty to fight for her leader create this heartbroken conflict in her and zendaya delivered that beautifully. #DunePartTwo pic.twitter.com/bOrijEefP1

Bro #DunePartTwo hype is real!! Zendaya stole the show. Paul’s development is well paced and doesn’t employ your typical montage. Visual effects and cinematography slayed. Will see at least two more times in theaters. Lisan al Gaib and all that. pic.twitter.com/gExOlpIs85

The amount of emotion Zendaya is able to convey in Dune Part 2’s third act is so impressive. Especially when she isn’t given much dialogue. Her eyes often say all that’s needed. pic.twitter.com/iPx4AKon5F

Austin Butler, who previously showcased his villainy as Tex Watson in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, ups the ante as the maniacal nephew to Baron Harkonnen, Feyd Rautha. The Hollywood heartthrob is without charm or his signature, dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair in this outing, instead demonstrating disturbing behavior and violent tendencies towards, well, everyone he comes across!
If you mold Ramsey Bolton & Lord Voldermort into one villain you get Feyd Rautha. Might rewatch Dune part 2 three times. Goat type performance from Austin Butler 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/YLSckCWKZl

Is it too early to start the Oscar campaign for Austin Butler as a Best Supporting Actor nominee for next year? #Dune2 pic.twitter.com/lt6uGOnU19
— Mark Hobin (@Mark_Hobin) March 1, 2024
I thought Austin Butler was a good actor who was deserving of his best actor nom for Elvis but his work as Feyd Rautha in Dune 2 is about 10 levels above that. it’s a “BIG” performance that Villeneuve asks of him and he NAILS it. one of the more instantly iconic villains in… pic.twitter.com/DS5q3CrEIS

Veteran actor Christopher Walken makes his latest film appearance here as Emperor Shaddam IV, exuding the type of commanding performance that only he can! Though 80-years-old, Walken exudes a sense of power and omniscience with every line delivery–keeping up with his much younger co-stars in quick-witted fashion.
Christopher Walken absolutely crushed as expected btw #DunePartTwo pic.twitter.com/6qZ6aKLx6X

It’s pretty funny that Christopher Walken once starred in a music video to a song with the lyrics “Walk without rhythm and it won’t attract the worm” and now he’s in Dune. pic.twitter.com/5J0EmWCOHm

With the Harkonnens defeated, the emperor dethroned and a new messiah to lead the Fremen on Arrakis, the film’s conclusion has left fans feeling overwhelmed and in disbelief of Paul’s quick ascent to power.

With director Villeneuve making it known that he would like to direct a third film covering Frank Herbert’s second novel in the six-book series, Dune Messiah–fans will have to wait until an official announcement and release date of a possible third movie.
