This is rated 9.0 with 74K votes on IMDB. Ranked 12th in IMDB top 250 now.
The highest film to be ranked that high since the LOTR trilogy.
Well TDK is #3, so that can’t be true.

Wish I snunk.my own food in sincethe theater hotdogs gave me my own water of life experienceDidn't watch in Imax but was able to smuggle in pizza. It was glorious.
100%. Just rent it for like 4 bucks off youtube or something. It's very enjoyable.Do you need to watch part 1 to understand or enjoy this one?
Spoiler questions. Answers appreciated, but without spoiling what will surely be in part 3:
Did the water of life somehow pervert Paul's intentions? He was deadset against going and being the hero. Then he had to go. Then after that he was like whatever let's kill em all!
The sinister nature that Jessica takes on also seems to happen after the water of life. No?
I swear at one point when Jessica is talking to her daughter she says something like 'Paul has to do this so the messiah is born.' That seemed to intimate that the daughter was the true messiah and that paul was the 'john the baptist' or was it more of the same like in the first one where he 'had to be killed to be born' type stuff.
Why didn't the Sandpeople just try to use the Sandworms to screw with any of their oppressors if they knew how to ride them?
Why didn't Paul know his mom was the daughter of the fat Harkonnen? That was the big reveal I heard the movie audience gasped about? F U!
edit - apparently it was Paul choosing the Empress over Zendaya that was the oh shit moment.
And doesn't that make Paul and Feyd-vis uncle and nephew and not cousins?
I wouldn't have minded Chrisopher Walken if the thespian from Deer Hunter showed up, or I'd settle with him not speaking exactly like how he is parodied by a bajillion people.
Really enjoyed the movie, but some people are saying it's the best epic ever. Better than LOTR and trilogies like that. LOL nah.
Christopher Walken is miscast as the Emperor. I feel an actor like Patrick Stewart or Gary Oldman would be better suited.
Couple of things:
He also is gay. Perhaps the studio heads didn't want to portray being gay in any negative light? Frank Herbert's son was gay and supposedly he had a falling out with his son because of it. Some say it affected his writing.
- How did the northern Fremens get to the Southern pole region in just a few hours on worms?
- The final battle is anti-climactic. The Freman just easily kick the shit out of everyone and most of it happens offscreen.
- Baron Harkonnen is supposed to be this pedophilic hedonist, but they didn't show that at all. Is it because they didn't want to portray pedophilia?
4. The movie doesn't do enough to show why the spice melange is so essential in the universe and how they need it for space navigation. In the books and original series, they showed the Guild Navigators and the fish people in tanks. They completely ignored all this in this movie.
A casual person who hasn't read the books will understand none of this. They will not know the spice: a. Is like the gasoline of space. b. Extends life. c. Gives enhanced unconsciousness d. Has narcotic properties where you get addicted and will die if you don't consume it.
I'm not sure where you have seen that.Even though most critics are saying they prefer part 1 slightly it this, the impressions from online forums seem a lot more growing than part 1.
I'm guessing because this has more big action in it?
Maybe it's like comparing The Two Towers and Return of the King to Fellowship. Most consider Fellowship to be the best of the LOTR trilogy, but the latter two is where the epic action happens.
Do you need to watch part 1 to understand or enjoy this one?
Watched it Friday. It was excellent but felt oddly paced. Probably should have been a three movie trilogy - things happened so quickly the last third of the movie.
That was just for domestic. See above post for the updated U.S. and worldwide results.Just Domestic, or does that include international boxoffice?
