Overhyped? YES! Dune Part 2 Was Good But Not GREAT

Dune Part Two is blowing up with a massive weekend box office and extremely positive reviews. But is it really as good as the paid hype machine wants you to believe? In the opinion of this independent reviewer, nope! It's a good film, yes, but not one of the greatest films of all time.

Chalamet and Zendaya have zero chemistry, many dialogue scenes are repetitive exposition and the big 3rd act battle is undercut by being far too short to have the kind of impact you'd be hoping for. And that's all before we get to the changes from the book which hurt the overall story.

Nevertheless, Dune Part Two is a good film and like Part One should stand around the 7.5-8 out of 10 range. So I do recommend you go and check it out if you've got the spare time and money.
