Yet, against all odds, Villeneuve pulled it off surprisingly well. He brought Frank Herbert\u2019s colossal saga to the big screen with minimal alterations\u2014at least in terms of its essence\u2014faithfully adapting the first book (or, to be precise, roughly its first half). But when it comes to <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em>, things aren\u2019t quite as straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> is a GOOD movie, if&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;you haven\u2019t read the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s the case, <strong>you\u2019re in for a spectacular, at times overwhelming revenge story.<\/strong> After being exiled and losing his father due to the schemes of the Emperor and the villainous Baron Harkonnen, Prince Paul Atreides finds himself in the best possible place to exact his revenge: the most hellish place in the universe, the desert planet Arrakis\u2014also known as Dune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This barren wasteland is home to the Empire\u2019s most valuable resource: the spice, a substance that extends life and expands human consciousness. <strong>The planet\u2019s oppressed native tribes, the Fremen, have long been impatiently awaiting their prophesied messiah.<\/strong> Meanwhile, the mysterious Bene Gesserit order, which has spent millennia manipulating noble bloodlines in hopes of bringing forth the human supercomputer known as the Kwisatz Haderach, has already laid the groundwork centuries in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trained by the finest warriors of the Imperium, Paul simply has to step into the role that has been prepared for him.<\/strong> Not to mention that, in addition to the vast desert and the colossal sandworms lurking beneath its surface, millions of fanatical Fremen warriors are waiting deep within Arrakis&#8217;s uncharted sands for someone to lead them to their promised paradise. And, of course, their company could be quite useful to anyone looking to challenge the Emperor himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the spice, Paul begins to experience visions of the future\u2014and much to his own and the Bene Gesserit\u2019s surprise, the prophecy starts fulfilling itself\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Feast for the Eyes&#8230; and the Ears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Villeneuve\u2019s film is grand in every sense.<\/strong> Beyond its universe-defining story, <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> is a visual spectacle. Everything feels monumental\u2014the starships, the desert landscapes, the gargantuan sandworms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/dune-part-two-2024-sandworms-1024x540.jpg\" alt=\"Dune: Part Two sandworms\" class=\"wp-image-2979\" style=\"width:450px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/dune-part-two-2024-sandworms-1024x540.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/dune-part-two-2024-sandworms-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/dune-part-two-2024-sandworms-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/dune-part-two-2024-sandworms.jpg 1275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The film\u2019s architecture is dominated by brutalist designs that reduce human observers to mere specks of dust. The Harkonnen arena is so absurdly massive that it defies reason. The Baron\u2019s viewing platform stretches so high into the sky that following the battles below with the naked eye seems impossible. (Honestly, they might as well just stream the fights from home.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, fully transformed into Paul Atreides, exudes an almost magnetic charisma, pulling his followers in with irresistible force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And then there\u2019s Hans Zimmer\u2019s score\u2014piercing tribal motifs woven into yet another masterful composition.<\/strong> Few films come to mind where the music alone conveys such profound emotion. At some point, the unsuspecting viewer may realize they\u2019d happily march under Muad\u2019Dib\u2019s banner, no matter where the Fremen\u2019s new messiah decides to lead them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the movie left out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> is breathtaking in every way. But those who haven\u2019t read the book can\u2019t even begin to imagine what they\u2019re missing. Frank Herbert crafted an unparalleled, intricate world in his novels. Villeneuve, to his credit, captures the essence of <em>Dune<\/em> beautifully, <strong>but the complex, clockwork-like depth of Herbert\u2019s world never fully materializes. Even two marathon-length films aren\u2019t enough to encompass it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the book&#8217;s theatrical and cunning Baron Harkonnen has been stripped of these two essential traits in the film, transforming him into a simple, albeit oversized, potato doughnut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And the second-best character in the <em>Dune<\/em> books (after Paul Atreides, obviously) doesn\u2019t even make an appearance.<\/strong> That is, she is only present in an embryonic state. Of course, we\u2019re talking about Alia, Paul\u2019s sister. The Fremen fear nothing in this world\u2014except for this four-year-old, all-knowing monster. Like her not-so-beloved grandpop, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, Alia steals every single scene she\u2019s in. For that reason alone\u2014if not for the countless others\u2014it\u2019s worth picking up Frank Herbert\u2019s groundbreaking novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> Is NOT a Good Movie If\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026you\u2019ve read the book. (Beware, some spoilers ahead!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that case, <strong>you\u2019ll be stifling laughter from the very first scene.<\/strong> <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> makes the same unfortunate mistake as <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>: every change it makes is either unnecessary or just plain stupid. Denis Villeneuve, however, sometimes takes it a step further. In several instances, he outright tramples on the fundamental world-building pillars of Herbert\u2019s novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;He loved the Duke like a son,&#8221;<\/em> declares Princess Irulan in the very first scene, referring to her father, Emperor Shaddam IV, and to Leto, Paul\u2019s father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, bullshit! The Emperor hated the Duke! Leto Atreides was a threat to his power. He was becoming increasingly popular among the divided Great Houses and, on top of that, had secretly built a small but highly effective military force\u2014essentially signing his own death warrant. Period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s still an easy enough pill to swallow; a feudal ruler doesn\u2019t need to justify eliminating an annoying rival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here comes the Messiah\u2014everyone shut up!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things get much worse when we look at the poor Fremen.<\/strong> The entire point of <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> is that Paul joins the Fremen, earns their respect, rises to lead them, and then wages war against those who destroyed House Atreides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fremen are the the ultimate killers of the Dune universe\u2014something no one had the faintest idea about until Paul Atreides stepped onto the scene. They are a surprising and awe-inspiring gift for Paul and his mother. They\u2019re all hardened, ruthless, and relentlessly pragmatic eliminators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, when Paul and Lady Jessica arrive in the Tabar sietch, it almost feels like they\u2019ve landed in Kazakhstan, right in the backwater village of Kuczek*, home to the famous television reporter Borat Sagdiyev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fremen, as we\u2019ve established, are a pragmatic people. Any outsider who wanders into their territory gets their throat slit on sight. However, the cautious and skeptical Stilgar from the book now bounces around Paul Atreides in <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> like a proud (and perhaps too plump for a Fremen) uncle. He almost immediately sees the promised Messiah in him. He\u2019s as enthusiastic as if his nephew just won a spelling bee competition. Indeed, this kid belongs in the national finals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the <em>Dune<\/em> Universe, Everyone Does Mental Math<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Addition. Subtraction. Multiplication\u2026 and logarithmic equations. All in their heads. The Butlerian Jihad\u2014one of the most pivotal historical events in Herbert\u2019s work\u2014ensured that all computers were immediately and permanently scrapped. Since then, all advanced calculations have been performed by the Mentats, with a little help from spice, of course. (Though Villeneuve\u2019s film barely acknowledges them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which raises the question: who the hell, and how, is operating the Harkonnens\u2019 planetary-scale holo-map, which displays the movement of their spice harvesters in real time? The Holy Spirit himself, perhaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s Got the Power?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of <em>Dune: Part One<\/em>, the ranking of the known universe\u2019s strongest military forces is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. The Sardaukar \u2013 the Emperor\u2019s elite forces<br>2. House Atreides troops<br>\u2026<br>\u2026<br>\u2026<br>X. Everyone else\u2014way behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the first film, Leto Atreides\u2019 army is completely wiped off the board. But then, with one swift and unexpected move, the Fremen suddenly pop up on the rankings\u2026 and, to everyone\u2019s shock, they take the number one spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when, in Villeneuve\u2019s movie, the utterly incompetent Harkonnen forces\u2014led by Feyd-Rautha, who has yet to grasp the basics of military strategy and is also unpredictable and completely insane\u2014start sweeping the Fremen back south like a housewife herding chickens into the coop, the most fitting word for it might just be <strong>INFURIATING<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I&#8217;ve Seen the Future, Brother\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frank Herbert\u2019s groundbreaking sci-fi saga\u2014or at least the first three books\u2014has one major flaw. It never really explains why the Fremen\u2019s god-like, future-seeing prophet couldn\u2019t prevent the jihad he spent most of his time trying to avoid. Which is absurd, because all he had to do was say, \u201cJihad bad, got it? Everybody back to the nearest sand dune, <strong>NOW<\/strong>!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At the end of <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em>, Denis Villeneuve provides a simple, believable answer\u2014one that, however, contradicts the book quite a bit.<\/strong> After all, he who controls the spice controls the universe&#8230; But the Fremen board the ships, fire up the engines, and set out to crush anyone who doesn\u2019t approve of the universe\u2019s new emperor. Instead of patiently waiting for everyone to flock to Arrakis, begging for spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another problem with the jihad is that space travel is the exclusive monopoly of the Spacing Guild, which operates as an independent political entity. Only their specially trained, spice-enhanced Navigators are capable of faster-than-light travel\u2014and, not to mention, their ticket prices are insane. The Guild\u2019s enormous transport ships orbit planets, and they only send down relatively tiny shuttles to the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in contrast, the only vehicle the Fremen have a driving license for is the sandworm. It has exactly one gear. And it can only turn very gently\u2014in a wide arc&#8230; One thing\u2019s for sure: I wouldn\u2019t let a single Fremen anywhere near a spaceship cockpit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The future is not too bright<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frank Herbert wrote six more sequels to his brilliant novel. One&#8217;s worse than the other. Nowhere near the original. But perhaps the worst of them all is Dune Messiah, the second book, which makes one thing painfully clear: <strong>if you know everything about the future, it\u2019s exactly the same as knowing nothing at all.<\/strong> So yeah, the whole thing sucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the plus side, this opens up fantastic opportunities for Denis Villeneuve, who\u2014according to reports\u2014is already working on the third film. <strong>And since <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> was, let\u2019s say, mangled from the perspective of book fans<\/strong>, there\u2019s a solid chance that no matter how badly he screws up Dune Messiah, it can only be an improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Verdict:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you haven\u2019t read the book: 8.5\/10<br>If you have read the book: 6.5\/10<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dune: Part Two<\/em> (2024), science-fiction (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt15239678\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IMDb<\/a>)<br>Directed by Denis Villeneuve.
