This was MUCH better than the first. The sand surfing scenes were some of the best action sequences I've ever seen, the scale of the battle sequences was exquisite and Timmy really found his voice as Paul after a more tentative approach in Part 1.

This film has helped reframe Austin Butler for me too. He's absolutely fiendish in this and he does menacing so well. Sure, he's being a bit 'Irish' and there's still a trace of the Elvis there, but it still works.

Bring on Dune: Messiah!
