It’s hard to bring anything original to the table when it comes to praising Dune directing mastermind Denis Villeneuve, but here goes nothing.
After tentatively calling his 2021 Dune film ‘Part One’, the relative success of that release just about gave him the greenlight to make a second chapter to this story. 
Villenueve is a self-proclaimed obsessive about Frank Herbert’s Dune novels so in that case, there really was no one better to tackle this film adaptation.
Just like part one, the care and attention to detail of the Dune worlds shines through. It’s hard to name another director (Christopher Nolan to a point) who can deliver both insanely beautiful spectacle and a compelling story without ever favouring one over the other.
Part Two demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible. It’s action scenes are epicly put together and the quieter scenes are absolute eye candy, there isn’t a dull frame in this film. Even some sequences that are completely devoid of colour are still extraordinary to watch on the big screen.
Composer Hans Zimmer brought an incredible soundtrack to the first film but seems to have outdone himself with part 2 also. He could have easily have leant the whole film on the key pieces from the first but has instead written some darkly beautiful music here.
Timothee Chalamet, is there anything he can’t do? And Zendaya is tremendous as the conflicted Chani. Austin Butler deserves a mention also as the deliciously terrifying Feyd-Rautha. 
Villeneuve has delivered another cinematic epic for the ages in a filmography that is becoming exceeding difficult to criticise.
