	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Staggering spectacle (...) Denis Villeneuve’s monumental adaptation expands its extraordinary world of shimmering strangeness. It’s impossible to imagine anyone doing it better (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Denis Villeneuve’s Epic Follow-Up (...) [It] graduates from the world-building thrills of the 2021 original to a meaty, all-encompassing narrative"	POS
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] maintains the grandiose visual style introduced in 'Dune' (...) Part Two is plagued by a nagging shallowness when it comes to portraying the Fremen (...) the film has difficulty fully embracing the nuance of Herbert’s anti-imperial and ecologically dystopian text."	NEU
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"The brutal blockbuster this year needs (...) In terms of pure spectacle and shock-and-awe achievement, Villeneuve has produced an adaptation of mad glory and power"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"When was the last time a $190m blockbuster was this stately, this sinister? (...) A bold and visually astonishing piece of filmmaking (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"[It] rights the cosmic battleship with plenty of staggering visuals, all the gigantic sandworms you’d ever want, plus a deeper thematic exploration of power, colonialism and religion (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"A sci-fi triumph that’s better than the first (...) Captivating and complex (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Villeneuve has made a serious, stately opus, and while he doesn’t have a pop bone in his body, he knows how to put on a show as he fans a timely argument about who gets to play the hero now"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] dazzles visually but moves like it’s walking in sand"	NEU
United States	David Fear Rolling Stone	"Villeneuve has outdone himself. More importantly, he’s done justice to the scope and scale and sheer weirdness of a stoner-lit touchstone’s back half without, pun intended, sanding away its edges"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"A wondrous mix of beautiful images and totally nutty plot (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"It’s all meticulously conceived and impressively staged, but becomes repetitive and monotonous (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jeremy Aspinall Radio Times	"A spectacular return to Arrakis (...) Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya stun in Denis Villeneuve's new instalment. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Los Angeles Times	"An instant landmark of its genre"	POS
United States	Tom Jorgensen IGN	"Featuring absolutely staggering visuals, 'Dune: Part Two' is an arresting, transportive middle entry in Denis Villeneuve’s tricky sci-fi saga"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Not only does this new movie pick up exactly where the last one left off, it also carries over the strengths and weaknesses that made the previous chapter so astonishing to look at but stultifying to watch."	NEU
United States	Austen Goslin Polygon	"[It] is every bit as great as the first movie promised it would be (...) Denis Villeneuve and Timothée Chalamet return with a fantastic, surprisingly complex blockbuster"	POS
United States	Soren Andersen Seattle Times	"[It] is true to its source material in terms of scope (it’s huge!) and complexity (its plotting is very dense) (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
Canada	Graeme Guttmann Screen Rant	"[It] is an awe-inspiring, visually stunning sci-fi spectacle and a devastating collision of myth and destiny on a galactic scale (...) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] makes the first film better in retrospect, and the eventual third one, 'Dune: Messiah', absolutely welcome"	POS
United States	Therese Lacson Collider	"[It] offers a lot more on the visual cinematic front, with impressive visuals and a fantastic score, however, where it struggles is with its widening scope. The larger cast and a dive deeper into the mythos of the story creates some issues"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ben Travis Empire	"Another epic helping of sci-fi wildness from Denis Villeneuve that’ll take true believers to paradise — even if it’s a bit too much Spice to digest in one sitting (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Phil de Semlyen Time Out	"here’s a darkness, a bleakness, that makes the fist-pumping moments feel all-the-more earned (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Clarisse Loughrey The Independent	"Audacious, intimate, and menacing like no other blockbuster in existence (...) A work of total sensory and imaginative immersion (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Matthew Turner NME	"The cast are exceptional. Chalamet is compelling (...) Zendaya’s character is effectively the moral centre of the movie, and she plays it beautifully (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Nick Newman The Film Stage	"Myriad allusions to Dune Messiah are promising (...) I can’t pretend I don’t want to see it, that it won’t look and sound great. But enthusiasm’s turning a tad dry"	NEU
United States	Jake Cole Slant	"Villeneuve’s film is a milestone of precision craftsmanship on a gargantuan scale (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
Canada	Chris Bumbray JoBlo	"It’s a real cinematic event everyone owes it to themselves to take in and hopefully won’t be forgotten come Oscar time. It’s a masterpiece"	POS
United States	Belen Edwards Mashable	"Villeneuve uses 'Dune's' more contemplative set-up as a springboard, launching into explosive bouts of action, galactic intrigue, and tragedy. As a result, the film swings bigger and often hits harder, soaring beyond even the epic highs of its predecessor"	POS
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Sci-fi sequel is immense, breathtaking wonder (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Allison Wilmore Vulture	"It's Zendaya's movie (...) And it's a really good one"	POS
United Kingdom	Nick Howells London Evening Standard	"This is sharper, slicker, more resonant than the first installment (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Kurt Halfyard Screen Anarchy	"It somehow fails to make the case of the how weird the human race can actually be, and settles for depicting only strangeness as surface veneer. It has amazing feathers and vestments, but fails to truly dance with its weapon of choice"	NEU
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"[It] is a rare big, expensive blockbuster with a lot on its mind"	POS
United States	Damon Wise Deadline	"[It] would be an epic achievement from any other director, but it feels that there is something bigger, better and obviously more decisive to come in the third and hopefully final part of the trilogy"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"More than a simple savior or chosen one story, 'Dune: Part Two' is a robust piece of filmmaking, a reminder that this kind of broad-scale blockbuster can be done with artistry and flair (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Murtada Elfadl AV Club	"Visually ravishing storytelling from Denis Villeneuve (...) Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet bring movie star magnetism to this continuation of the 2021 sci-fi blockbuster 'Dune'"	POS
