“Dune: Part Two is a triumph. Even more immense than the first, but much more intimate — Denis Villeneuve manages to streamline the more alienating second half of the book into a riveting, action-packed epic. Two Towers-level mastery of battle sequences. Zendaya is the star.“
Gregory Ellwood from The Playlist alsoraved about the film, even though he jokingly admitted forgetting everything by the next day. “Dune: Part Two is damn impressive,” he wrote.
“Dune Part Two is jaw-dropping, breathtaking & wildly exhilarating,” film criticCourtney Howard said.
“Dune Part Two is not only Denis’s magnum opus; it’s the definitive sci-fi epic of a generation,” FilmSpeak host Griffin Schillerwrote.

Not Zendaya or Florence Pugh, Timothée Chalamet Likes Another ‘Dune: Part Two’ Co-star the Most
As per a clip of the discussion posted by user @kenzvanunu (viaX), Nolan can be heard stating the following:
“For me, if Dune Part One was ‘Star Wars,’ this [Part Two] … was very much The Empire Strikes Back, which is my favorite of the Star Wars films. It’s an … exciting expansion of [everything] you introduced in the first one.”
The film was originally due to be released last year before the Hollywood strikes delayed it.
