Timothee had to be convincing in the final act and mostly everyone including myself bought it. I think he did a incredible job of playing the naive lil prince to this messiah
First time listener.With my timely DUNE realated arrival here. But it was a great listen guys. Ill be keeping my eye out for more goings on. And FYI: DUNE MESSIAH changes everything. Its recommended to read it as the 2nd part of the first book rather than a 2nd book that works on its own. There is a bunch of set up in the Dune Part 2 film, from Messiah, hense the darker turn that the film takes in the last hour.
This is sort of why i was a little dissapointed with Chalamet's portrayal in part1 after seeing The King. I knew he could deliver a great performance as a leader and that performance is what i wanted to see in part 2 which is exactly what we got. He was great in part 2.
No one will ever convince me that Christopher Walken works as the emperor LOL. I literally laughed out loud with his first words after arriving on Arrakis. It took me completely out of the film for the first time.
