February** Dynamic Incentive Program
The highly anticipated sci-fi blockbuster Dune 2 (Dune: Part Two)** has officially lifted the ban on word-of-mouth, with a 97% freshness start on Rotten Tomatoes, and currently includes 109 reviews, which has been certified fresh. With a Metacritic overall rating of 80 and currently 40 reviews, it's only a matter of time before it gets certified as a must-see movie.
The film is directed and written by Denis Villeneuve, Hans Zimmer continues the soundtrack, and "Sweet Tea" Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Rebecca Ferguson return to star. "Black Widow" Florence Pugh joins as Princess Ilelang, Austin Butler as Fidel-Rosa, Léa Seydoux as Madame Margot, and Christopher Walken as Padishha Emperor Shaddam IV.
Most of the ** believe that director Denis Villeneuve continues to play steadily, and the current ** evaluation is on par with "Arrival" and "Border Killer", slightly higher than "Blade Runner 2049", and significantly higher than the previous work "Dune". But there are also shortcomings.
Some of these authoritative films** give reviews (below):
Empire: It's clear that this is another epic sci-fi wildness from Denis Villeneuve that will take true lovers to heaven – even though it's a bit too spiced to digest all at once!
Complete Cinema: Dune 2 is technically undeniably stunning, almost leaving the first Oscar-level "Dune" far behind.
Indiewire: Denis Villeneuve, the new sci-fi blockbuster, is visually stunning and painful to watch. This not only follows the end of the previous part, but also takes over the advantages and disadvantages of the first part, making it still amazing, but the viewing experience is boring.
The Hollywood Reporter THR: There's a chattering shallow take on the Fremen.
Screen Daily: Hans Zimmer's score adds drama and excitement to Paul's adventures, and the second installment achieves a big-screen impact rarely seen in contemporary cinema. Anyone who is attracted to the first installment of 2021 will be hungry for this sequel.
It is worth mentioning that the great director Ristofer Nolan also praised "Dune 2" in a recent interview - this film is as perfect as "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back"! Nolan is a die-hard Star Wars movie fan, and this is one of his favorite Star Wars movies. Nolan praised Dune 2 as an "incredibly exciting expansion" of Dune 1's content. Denis Villeneuve said Nolan's compliment was a huge compliment for him!
In addition, Denis Villeneuve, in a conversation with Time magazine, confirmed that the "Dune Savior" movie, which is the second book adaptation of "Dune", which he plans to follow "Dune". No production license has been granted at this time. If it can be made, "it should be my last "Dune" movie".
Previously, Denis Villeneuve also revealed that he wanted to make a trilogy of "Dune", saying that because Paul's story is very grand, it takes at least three movies to finish it, but ** (Frank Herbert wrote a total of six books) will "write more and more psychedelic" after that, and some of them he doesn't know how to make movies. I hope that the third part of "Dune" can be carried out smoothly!
Dune 2 will be released in North America on March 1 and Chinese mainland on March 8! Are you looking forward to this film?
