Well, wouldn't you know it...Part Two picks up where the first Dune left off and continues to deliver in the sheer batshit majesty of the world(s) Frank Herbert created. Once again, it's all stunningly realised by Denis Villeneuve, breathing life into the harsh environment of Arrakis and all the political powerplays in equal measure, before eventually culminating in a big ol' knife fight. Like its predecessor, Part Two can feel a little long at times, but there's a lot of story to squeeze in there and for the most part nothing really feels superfluous. And what a fantastic cast too, with the returning faces continuing to impress, while the newcomers slotted in seamlessly as well. All hail the Muad'Dib!
