I’ve heard a lot about performances in Dune 2, but no one talks about Javier Bardem as Stilgar. He gave a comedic and refreshing performance that hasn’t been praised enough. pic.twitter.com/YFetCWQYxM

Javier Bardem's Stilgar played a much bigger role in this movie than in Part One, and many fans took notice. They praised the performance for the way it humanized his character, especially compared to the book.

Now that both parts of this adaptation are out, fans are eager to look at them together as one completed work. Many marveled at the continuity between the two movies and the way that scenes with prescient visions are paid off later.

Dune is a criticism of charismatic leadership. Paul is not a "white savior". In the first book, he's an antihero (only not a villain because the Harkonnens are worse).

In Messiah, he's literally worse than Hitler (Paul's own words).

So the Water of Life must be what turned Paul into a power obsessed guy because he’s been acting different ever since he drank it just like his mother, right? pic.twitter.com/BUxTUnWk2D
Many fans felt that critics of Dune were misunderstanding the themes of the story this weekend. They pointed out that this is a tragedy, and that Paul is not a classical heroic figure.

Forgive me, but I'm on a major spice high! Just out of #DunePart2
No notes.
SPEECHLESS.
I will organize my thoughts later, but I have three quick points.
1. NEED to see it again.
— Phil Walsh (@philwmovies) March 1, 2024
2. NEED #DuneMessiah to happen.
3. Dune Part 2 is MONUMENTAL. pic.twitter.com/T1IUIyx6aV
Finally, many fans were caught off guard by how the movie ends and how badly they want to see a sequel. So far, a third Dune movie has not been greenlit but Villeneuve and some cast members have spoken enthusiastically about their hopes for the project. For now, Dune: Part Two is showing only in theaters while Part One is streaming on Max. Herbert's novels are available in print, digital and audiobook formats.
