The epic scene in Dune: Part Two
Continuing the plot of the first part, Dune part 2 tells the story of the unification of the Atreides and Fremen clans to fight against the expansion and invasion of the Harkonnen clan on the planet Arrakis.
In recent times, few sequels have been better received than the first part - in terms of quality and revenue - like Dune: Part Two . In terms of professional opinions, the film received "a shower of compliments" from a series of prestigious newspapers/magazines such as Wall Street Journal , Vulrure , The Atlantic , Times , Washington Post , New Yorker , Vanity Fair , AP ...
Critics have given this work many beautiful words such as "masterpiece", "astonishing", "epic", "spectacular", even likened to "a masterpiece of modern cinema" and most importantly, Denis Villeneuve is commented to have captured the spirit of the original work of the late writer Frank Herbert - the intensity and tragedy expressed throughout the original novel.
The Wall Street Journal commented on the film: "The work is not painted like an amusement park but rather like a church - majestic, extremely sober, beautiful. The cinematography by Greig Fraser is as overwhelming as the music by Hans Zimmer."
ReelViews praised: "As an amazing film, Dune: Part Two is better than Dune: Part One ". Entertainment Voice also praised: " Dune: Part Two is a great entertainment but at the same time still maintains the ideas in Frank Herbert's novel - that is the madness of conquest and the power of belief".
Dune: Part Two Gets Off to a Strong Box Office Start
