doggy oh man that uh that got the old the old hr up let's [ __ ] go close that close that yo holy [ __ ] let's let's get locked in here let's get locked in here we uh we're in a post Dune 2 world now folks we're in a post Dune 2 world now W doggy this is crazy look at this this [ __ ] Hulu [ __ ] this makes me want to peel my [ __ ] eyes on my Dune part two currently sitting at a 4.6 out of five on letter box what do we think is this review bombing could this be considered as review bombing like
positive review bombing like obviously I I feel like this film will inevitably get ey rolls it'll inevitably get overrated it'll become you know like the Dark Knight I'm not saying it's as good as the Dark Knight but it'll be like a really high rated IMDb high-rated like Normy ass movie and it'll inevitably people be like it's not that good it's good but it's not that good because the the some of the [ __ ] I've been seeing is crazy like people were talking about they were crying while watching
which actually I like that's fine it was just the parts that they were crying like someone was like I had tears in my eyes and I was crying when they were floating up the rocks and I'm like I I feel like that was in the first movie I rated the first movie three and 1/2 out of five I liked the first movie I was like surprised how not bad it was that was another other that's another part of this is that okay I'm just getting this is just awful the green we're going back to this that was the other
thing that was prominent about this movie was that it avoids all the negative things that you'd usually like get with a blockbuster movies nowadays there would be stupid diversions in the story that are not interesting or the story itself would not be interesting like Guardians 3 in my opinion I know people are going to get pissed about that it's so good it's the best just shut up I didn't ask I'm making my points on YouTube where the [ __ ] was I right the story's dog [ __ ] there's [ __ ] dum
b editing or stupid music choices or just cringe [ __ ] and the acting the writing whatever that happens right we're just used to a lot of [ __ ] right we're just used to a lot of [ __ ] but the thing that villain no you know does and and hey like I get I'll be real when I saw you was making Dune I was like why dude why do we have to keep doing these [ __ ] remakes when I heard that it was like oh the first book's going to be in two parts I was like uh good luck with that like the first movie is
going to be half of a book that doesn't end and uh lo and behold that did not matter cuz the first movie was solid and it set up for a sequel that we all knew was coming we knew there was a sequel coming I think it was literally green lit the same weekend Dune 1 came out 2021 when I saw Dune one like I said like all of this [ __ ] that's in Dune 2 that's good about it is also in Dune one this is this is like the New Ye album in a way cuz it's like you're all appreciating this one but that's the
same reason I liked the previous work the first one really good sound design characters performances visual effects storytelling editing all of these things really compelling for me more compelling than it really should have been Denny villain [ __ ] does this [ __ ] so well where he's able to make a certain brutalism evoke out of his films prisoners enemy arriv Ral all this [ __ ] it all has a certain like Edge to it Blade Runner the [ __ ] scene where they're fighting in that in that submarin
e and there's just like one like fluorescent bright ass fluorescent like you know Hospital ass bulb lighting up the whole thing and they're just like they're just they're both robots just punching each other in the water and like the sound design the I mean it's like dude knows how to do this [ __ ] and he also knows how to add a certain spiritualism to it as well even in Blade Runner 20149 the sort of the sort of Temple that Jared Leto's character lives in all of the design has this style you k
now and that's why Dune part one was so just like kind of surprisingly not bad I'm not being condescending when I say like it's surprising how not bad it was cuz like for a movie of this scale that does mean something if if you're making a movie of this scale you know there has to be a cohesive kind of atmosphere and world to your movie and I think that's something that like a lot of modern Blockbusters don't do well it's part of the reason why I liked Annihilation so much as well as exmachina t
here's a certain coldness there's a certain undering fear an anxiety a paranoia but at the same time kind of like a spiritual sort of like Transcendence of like the future is so Godlike in comparison to the past and human beings are able to transcend further out of their atmosphere into space into into other galaxies it almost becomes like this sort of demigod aristocracy that Dune the Dune World kind of has I'm trying to find my [ __ ] review here it is here it is this was my review villanu con
tinues to avoid making bad films and great films they are mostly good to pretty good this one is just good it has a confident cinematic style and sleek design it is well cast and well edited sweeping into the hour hour 30 Mark without dragging in the slightest the appeal of Dune for me is less the overall story and more the World building this film focuses mostly on the former despite being only one half of the first book it nearly touches something interesting but inevitably suffers from the sa
me slightly desaturated slightly soft sensibility all modern Blockbusters suffer from worth a watch if you like the director's previous films or if you're a fan of the genre of Science Fiction go figure so that was my three and a half star review of Dune from 2021 when I watched it and I have to say that is still my only remaining critique of these modern movies is everything looks a little too good we've lost the shadow we've lost the grit of film a little bit and it's here in Denise sort of li
ke glossy brutalism it's still there you know that edge that impact and intensity of the Montage you know his edits are phenomenal uh his his shot composition and and language is all fantastic and and very pleasing and and it truly is something this is way better than some [ __ ] that [ __ ] what what are the Russo Brothers directed you know this is far better than any of that [ __ ] that's why this first dune movie was was appealing cuz it was like you know people were talking about crying abou
t seeing the um seeing the the guys floating there's so much cool [ __ ] like that in this movie and going back I think people are going to appreciate Dune one a lot more than they did maybe when it first came out even though it was popular when it came out but the performances the World building it felt like they made dude one and dune 2 at the same time they were made with the equal amount of skill I think just Dune part two includes the most exciting chapters of the book it just includes the
best parts of the story they had a good ass script it's the highest selling sci-fi novel of all time it's what inspired Star Wars you know what I mean it's it's like the Pinnacle of Science Fiction and I'm not going to lie man I didn't realize like dune's like a better story than Star Wars Star Wars wishes it was Dune like do you realize that that's what I just realized it's like George Lucas grew up reading Doom so yeah Star Wars is phenomenal it's one of the greatest stories and you know it's
like one of the most popular fables of the modern you know era or whatever the [ __ ] but like it's all inspired by Dune which was made by like a [ __ ] genius the the IMAX experience like seeing tenet and 70 mm it was like dude this is how you're supposed to see tenant 1 million per this is how you're supposed to see tenant Dune 2 in IMAX Dune 2 and dune 2 and IMAX the sound design the music the visuals incredible and dude I had a [ __ ] perfect seat so let's talk about Doom part two now someon
e's asking where did all the hype for Dune 2 come from it came from Doom part 2 I'm not going to lie it came from the movie being good yes the popcorn bucket hahhaa but they that movie carried itself on its own legs baby I I'm not going to lie man it it earned the hype so let's talk about it I'm going to say that's the fifth time I've said let's talk about it I got tickets to this in IMAX first weekend and I bought them like in the middle of the week you need to buy these [ __ ] in advance cuz m
ost of the seats are sold out all the seats up to the screen were booked someone was watching this [ __ ] with a [ __ ] neck brace man I'm not joking the last movie I had to do this for was Avengers endgame to be honest so I got tickets for 8:30 a.m. 8:30 a.m. where like near your house no no no nope [ __ ] Time Square [ __ ] Time Times Square is where I saw this film do you live close to time sare no I don't I don't live close to Time Square at all I had to get up at 6:45 a.m. was the weather n
o rain pouring rain pulled up to the theater I was Bing as it were so the screen was at 8:30 a.m. got there a little like like 8:38 I got to my seat 900 a.m. 9 a.m. is when the movie started movie scheduled for 8:30 the previews did not end until 9 9 it it definitely it definitely hit me pretty hard it's a really really really strong popular film it is just a crowd pleasing piece of Pop Cinema it is a blockbuster film it has earned its its hype to the point where you know before going into the f
ilm hearing these things about being compared to Lord of the Rings or being compared to Star Wars or you know I was like okay this is really not going to be that good because there's no way it's just a dumb generation going to see a movie glazing it too much right uh well no that's not the case even though I said like everything looks too clean in modern Blockbusters everything's a little too sleek the costumes look a little they don't look real dirty they look like prop dirty like everything ju
st kind of you know because of the sort of like I said Sleek brutalism that villanu is able to wield over not just the Aesthetics and the atmosphere spere but also the story itself and the edit and the Montage I I don't think you know Dune one is as good as Fellowship it's really just the strength of Dune 2 which in essence is really just the strength of the book Dune you know the the the climaxing story beats of Dune you know what I mean so if Dune one had tried to just make this entire movie i
n one go it may not have been able to do that and you know it's like it's just hard to compare the story kind of adaptation and the quality they're in it's calling back to the times of like Spider-Man 1 and like the Matrix and even the prequels to some degree but that's my whole point is like some of these movies like Lord of the Rings like they are not paced as well as this movie for an audience to be engaged this hard throughout the whole thing I mean there really is not a second of downtime b
y the way Timothy shalamay is now a generational icon this is fullon Nostalgia core for the Next Generation this will be a generational icon for sure and villain with this [ __ ] like he's sealed to the industry he might as well be St Spielberg at this point or James Cameron this shit's going to cook this thing might top Avatar the [ __ ] way this is going to sweep the imagination of the world everyone involves been going to be immortalized by this movie because genuinely it just is a really kin
d of flawless Blockbuster movie it does not have a lot of flaws um it starts with that sort of you know swiftness that you're used to with with with really good sequels you know like think of the beginning of the dark KN or The Avengers or even Empire Strikes Back there's a lot of just like the world's already built we're already ready to go let's have big scenes right off the bat you know it's kind of like that and you're in the most critical part of the story and all of these things come to re
alization and actualization in in this movie and that is something that you only to a degree got in the first one by the way any critiques about like what they should chose to keep and like I guess that's fair but it's like the majority of people who are seeing this have not read D the fact that no one has done this before to success is crazy you really don't have to see Dune one it works very well it stands alone very well as a movie I think it helps to see Dune one but like you get what's goin
g on the whole movie you're not like confused I just I was just kind of Blown Away by it I really was uh it's a it's just the it's a [ __ ] movie Man it's a [ __ ] movie it's just exactly what you want out of just epic Sci-Fi Action Cinema it's just what you want the whole design is it's just it's just fantastic dude it's just a fantastic movie it's a generational picture and I could see this being The Empire Strikes Back to this generation I could see it meaning that it's kind of nuts it's real
ly I just did not expect it to be this good I didn't expect it to be this effective I didn't expect to be so invested to feel so invested in the world and to want to know more you know I I even thought Christopher Walkin did a really good job it's cool seeing Christopher Walkin in a role like this I feel like I don't really get to see him in serious roles a lot so this was really cool Florence Pew she needs to work with better directors because villanu got a performance out of her that was spect
acular spectacular even just the bit she was in the movie She's fantastic so is Dave Batista I love Dave Batista Zena did a really good job I really liked her grit truth be told a lot of the times like I find her very like Disney channel is in her performances it's just something something about her performance sometimes but in this uh I definitely think that she did she did a great job and just like really added like this this sort of reason to the chaos of the picture like she she really groun
ded it in this sort of like ideological principle of the framan and she kind of played she kind of played this role as as the um the skeptic credit to credit to her like I said Timothy shalamay is going to be a generational [ __ ] icon for this I'm not going to lie to you his performance is great man he's just a great actor like he is truly a a a just a stellar a stellar performer he's just got that rage like that you need and that explosiveness he really has that credit to everyone in this movi
e The Fight Coro was really a very athletic performance by Timothy shalamay you know I'm sure there was a million stunt performers that that helped but like he does carry himself like this little slender [ __ ] little assassin and I know that shit's not easy you got to look like you're really fighting someone it's scary credit to him you know every part of it was just phenomenal Rebecca Ferguson holy [ __ ] dude dude this movie is just a platter of phenomenal actors I hope all these people's car
eers just Skyrocket from this movie Her intensity as this Ben jeser re Reverend mother is just oh my God oh my God it's she gave such a nuts performance as Paul trad's mother credit to her Austin Butler man that dude uh that dude's crazy that dude's so nuts it was so fun watching him be a villain man he has a mystical screen pres absolutely mystical that kid has the [ __ ] juice if [ __ ] Austin Butler and Adam Driver are in heat too doggy yeah he's just as fade rotha he's just like this perfect
psychopath really well done yeah leahu was also great as that Ben deset Anya Taylor Joy randomly in it for a second so maybe she'll be in the next movies it's kind of crazy I think he could probably make another one out of the third book and call it Dune part 3 or call it Dune Messiah it would be the second book it would be Messiah which I've heard is great
