“To no one’s surprise, I absolutely loved it Dune: Part 2. Incredible production. Brilliant soundtrack. The entire cast was excellent. My only complaint is that I expected it to be longer. No kidding. The film is two hours and forty minutes long and I would have been happy to watch another hour.”
In a shock to no one, I absolutely loved it #Dune2. Incredible filmmaking. Brilliant score. Entire cast was excellent. My only complaint was I wish it was longer. Not joking around. The movie is 2hr and 40 min(?) and I would have been happy to watch another hour. pic.twitter.com/6PZmfQTEAH

“Dune: Part 2 it’s impressive. Villeneuve creates some truly VISIONARY moments. Austin Butler delivers a truly transformative performance (and not to mention the makeup). Very moving ending. A little long? Yes. Did I forget that I saw it the next day? Yes. Still, it’s going to be huge.”

“Dune: Part 2 It’s a triumph. Even more immense than the first, but much more intimate – DennisVilleneuve manages to simplify the more alienating second half of the book into a riveting, action-packed epic. Mastery of level-up battle sequences [O Senhor dos Anéis:] The Two Towers. Zendaya is the star.
