It was not pre-release. It was a midday screening on a workday, in Malaysia, where it is opening today. 

 

Gotcha, my mistake

Bombs away. Cancel the opening. Abandon all hope. Buy tech stocks.

And now MC is up to 81. It's fine.

It probably won't move the needle much, but this review is a notable and somewhat uncommon example of a critic being very won over.

The Spectacular New Dune Will Turn Even Skeptics Into Believers

 

Part Two stops teasing the size of its sandworm and shows us the full monty.

 

Ahh, that phallic stuff. Hehe

 

 

I see your phallic jokes and raise it to whatever the fuck this is from MC rated critic at Film Threat:

 

"I admire the story of Dune, though I’m sure these Dune lovers will hate my no-nuance take on the story.  I mentioned it’s dense with politics, religion, and war. That said, Dune is a hard sell. The ten-year-old me, who fell instantly in love with Star Wars in 1977, probably wouldn’t like Dune: Parts 1 or 2. The casual audience will like the incredible imagery of Villeneuve and the A-List cast supporting it. It just didn’t make me want to become a fan of Frank Herbert’s novels in the end. Yet, I will grab an AMC Shai-Hulud popcorn bucket and “butter” the hell out of its contents."

Didn't like the first Dune but rewatching it tonight in imax, then part two tomorrow in imax. Fingers crossed it goes better as a two parter.

In case anyone needs a refresher before part 2:

Just a few more minutes. Timothee my beloved, I’m ready for you.

Wow this Is really a great movie. Every scene feels important and you really feel the characters. Villenueve got everything right, he understood what you need in a dune movie in 2024 for being relevant and important for a modern audience. 

It's sci fi but kinda feels like you are watching an historical war movie.

My only complaint maybe is some action sequence feeling too much (but i can understand you have to sell the movie) so doesn't get a perfect score but It's a solid 9/10.

Vastly preferable to the POS the studio put on the Tube for a recap.

The Boston Globe negative reviews when counted will sink MC probably down to 78 or so. Already down to 7.8 on RT Top Critics 😬

Just came back from it.

 

This was one of my best cinema experiences of the last 7 years or so. Full auditorium of respectfull people, Dolby Atmos and best of all, the movie itself.

 

This is incredible. 2 1/2 Hours of pure awe. I dont want to write anything more, just go see it. Now.

[Eric is Anxious]

I am shooketh right now. Give Timothee and Zendaya all the Oscars. Holy smokes. Holy smokes.

[Lucas]

The more reactions I read from moviegoers the more it just confirms this really will go down as one of those sequels we look back on in decades to come.

Lucky you. I had some jackass whisper and laugh with his buddy through the whole thing. Then, when the movie ends, he turns to me and a bunch of other strangers, and loudly shouts, "So what did you all think, gang?" Like...fuck off bro. I was trying to enjoy the cut to credits and you ruined it. I hate being around people, swear to God.

[Morieris]

And here I am going "I'll go in the middle of the day tomorrow, where there's less chance of others."

Sure, I'm just saying the difference between 75 and 85 on MC really doesn't mean that much, even if one is "universally acclaimed". It'll probably end up high 70s.
