Dune: Part Two | REACTION (Part 1 of 2) First Time Watching 

Part 2 will be premiering tomorrow at 4pm UK Time. Hope to see you all there 💙💙💙

As Paul's mother explained, when she became the Reverend Mother for the Fremen, and drank the water of life, she was given all the memories of all their previous Reverend Mothers. Since she was pregnant, the fetus received all of that knowledge and awareness as well.

Thanks. One of the best reactions to Dune part 2 or anything for that matter. You pay attention. Let us experience with you. Is perfect.

I loved it when he took off the ring and said that he had found his way. It's him choosing the fremen way rather than the path of his father.

A lot of people think in the arena that Feyd doesn't look that formidable, but it's clear he is toying with his opponent, having fun, when he gets serious his face changes and he kills the man easily.

The amount of lore and details you guys were able to catch just in this first part left me in disbelief, it's really impressive!

Paul and Chani's theme might be my favorite thing Hans Zimmer has ever done. It's so beautiful and tragic, perfectly fits their relationship.

I'm really enjoying watching your reaction. I've watched many reactions but the way you react is just so fun to watch, you pay attention to the right things and when you speculate about something that will happen. And you clearly authentically enjoy the film without being overhyped, I love it!

My son referred to the wierd, creepy ass Praetorian Guards in the Feyd Rautha Arena scene as "Sleep Paralysis Demons", and it is so accurate I can't not see it every time I look at those creepy guards now lol

“Life of Brian!” Exactly! I, too, took “desert spring” to be like “oasis,” but the alternative language tracks translate it as the season of the year.

Okay this is by far the best reaction. I can't wait for part 2

You guys are very astute and asked all the right questions to yourselves about Paul and the prophecy and it’s authenticity etc… I’ve watched a lot of reactions so far and some people genuinely took it all at face value and believe Paul is a real messiah

the sandworm riding scene is the greatest cinematic spectacle since the original Lord of the Rings was in theaters. Just awesome

The first time I watched Dune P2, there were two scenes where I teared up. The sandworm riding scene and Paul becoming the Lisan Al Gaib. I feel your reaction, it's about as authentic as any reactors can get in RU-vid...

Less then ten minutes in and you were already questioning Paul's motives. Excellent analysis.

37:00 The Harkonnen arena fight looks to be inspired heavily by spanish bullfighting. The guys with the sickle-shaped hats would be the banderilleros, whose job in a bullfight is to tire the bull by sticking barbed darts with flags attached to them to the bull's shoulders. Apparently, it works exactly the same on Giedi Prime. I'm just realizing the parallelism. Paul's grandfather was an *actual* bullfighter, matador specifically, and was gored and killed by a bull, and the Harkonnens "perverted" the practice by fighting drugged slaves instead. (I do not condone bullfighting in the least.)

Damn the edit at the end for part 2 is awesome!

Fantastic reaction guys! I can't wait for part 2! You two are getting really good at this! Great job! ❤😊

Saw this in theater with my son. When the worm appeared the entire theater shook, like an earthquake was happening. When Paul rode the worm, my chair was like a bucking bronco trying to throw me off. I held on for dear life ! I needed a seatbelt! I reached for my son, fearing for his safety. He was screaming with glee! We both let go of our seats, raised our arms and raised our feet off the floor as the whole world felt like it was shaking apart. My son and I RODE THE WORM!!!! It was an unbelievable and incredible experience!

Love how you edited this half, and how you closed it--on which line and with which piece of music. "Arrival" is probably my favorite piece of the score in this film, not only for how hard it hits but of course for what sequence that piece introduces. It's like you'd have to create new words to try to convey how shockingly good this film is. Looking forward to your second half.

35:34 And THAT is how you introduce a villain!! Side note: I heard recently that Austin Butler spent 4 months in Budapest, Hungary, training with a former US Navy SEAL to get in condition for this movie.

I really appreciate y'all sacrifice of watching eacting to this on RU-vid first before seeing in theaters 🙏🏾 💯😎

Congrats on the baby!

Thank you guys for a passionate and emotional reaction. As well, you guys paid great attention to detail and picking up the subtleties of the film. Wish you guys every blessing. Good luck! :)

Now I have one more thing to love about dune,…..it brought me to you guys channel…….one of the best reactions I’ve seen yet and I watch a lot of them,….liked and subscribed.

Welcome back guys good to have you back

Enjoyed this 💯×💯 part II Asap 😊 Dune has legit set the bar for its genre (perhaps the industry itself) look forward to it all 🍿 stay Awesome ⭐️

You guys are a great team! Keep up the good work...both fun and thoughtful in your reactions. Very refreshing to see!

It's great to see your responses as they are so intuitive to the cues in the filmography. I really enjoyed watching your reactions. Best from US (Portland, Oregon).☘

This was a super entertaining reaction to watch, cant wait for part 2!

As a fan of Dune since 1977 (I was 16) I absolutely ❤❤❤ your reaction. You get it. Not just this complex story, but the message behind it I'm of Orangeman descent and when I read Dune the troubles were at their height in your country. The book taught me that influence, that power of any kind brings corruption. It unlike Star Wars (which I enjoyed) made me think. 11:36 Yes the Bene Gesserit created this religion so that one of them could take control of Dune. The legend of the Lisan al-Gaib is tailored To fit the abilities of the Kwisatz Haderach, the Bene Gesserit planned for him to have access to power if he needed it. And power over spice is power over all. 26:30 Sometimes reactors don't need to say a word. ❤ 28:50 Chani is doing a little worm riding of her own if you know what I mean wink wink nudge nudge 39:40 🎉🎉🎉 You are the only ones who got that! Remember that Feyd had a dream about the Bene Gesserit before she came. He too can see the future. The Bene Gesserit want his child to make the Kwisatz Haderach. They are that close.

Paul choosing a Fremen name (i.e. Mua'Dib) wasn't JUST to be further accepted by them. (By respecting their culture.) It was also a tactical decision so that Imperial & Harkonen spies & soldiers would only ever learn the name Mua'Dib). So no, the Emperor, the Harkonen, even the Benne Gesseritt do not know that Mua'Dib is actually Paul Atraties!

Go see it in theaters while you can :) You'll catch more on your second viewing.

Frank Herbert was originally inspired by the career of T. H. Lawrence, which is why this film resembles “Lawrence of Arabia.” And the novel, of course, later inspired “Star Wars.” Resulting in “Star Wars” for grownups.

Appreciate you are not cutting down the reaction and even split it to 2 parts. Also perceptive, considering you've not read the novel.

The "maker-hooks" allow the rider to pull up the sandworm's scales so that sand can irritate the softer tissues underneath. This causes the worm to move so that sand cannot get under the scales. That is how the rider controls the worm.

Watching your reactions & facial expressions was an absolute joy! Glad to hear you’ve been studying up on Dune in the interim!

To your question at around 29:00... The thing is that the Bene Gesserit have planted themselves deep into Fremen culture, so the Lisan Al-Gaib myth has everything to do with both the Fremen and The Bene Gesserit. Only problem is that the Bene Gesserit were not longer able to control the Atreides and therefore not this Kwizatz Haderach, as mentioned later in the film :D

Paul Muadib Usul. Paul, the one who points the way, the pillar we stand on.

14:17 You’re actually not the first person to connect this movie to The Life Of Brian… "HE'S NOT THE MAHDI, HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY!!" 🤣🤣

I love your reaction, guys 💙 it's really a must to watch it in cinema, on a big screen. It's a staggeringly well-done film.

This is the first time I have seen one of your reactions. I enjoyed it tremendously!

The original Bene Gesserit plan called for Jessica to give Leto a daughter, who would then be married to Feyd Rautha, and their child would be the Kwisatz Haderach. However, they did not figure with Jessica giving Leto a son, who would be exposed first to Spice and then the Water of Life.

Loovvveee your reactions guyssss and i need part 2 :p

FANTASTIC - first reactor I've watched - of those who have all seen the Life of Brian! - relate Stligar's "The true Mahdi denies his own Mahdi-ness" to the Life of Brian - you guys are so impressive...

Herbert wanted to show the dangers of charismatic leaders. However you also have to note Paul says the path he takes leads to the least universal death and Fremen non-enslavement and to Atreides achieving justice. His choice basically causes 83 billion deaths give or take a few billion and Fremen flourishing instead of trillions of deaths and Fremen enslavement. The path also includes human’s ability to deal with far future dangers Herbert gets into in the follow up books. Paul is kind of an Anakin Skywalker figure since George stole a bunch from Dune. Lol. In fact the general beats of both are extremely similar….No spoilers! 😂

You are fun to watch I love your child like enthusiasm. I am subscribed because of this reaction keep it up

24:06 I think the 2 women were basically his nurses, or possibly just random slaves.

There is indeed a reason why Fremen have access to all this kind of advanced technology, although it's not explained in the movie sadly.

Paul being the Kwizatch Haderach is a real thing in which Jessica believes. But Jessica knows that the dozens of messianic religions around the galaxy, all predicting the Kwizatch Haderach by different names, are fictions designed by the Bene Gesserit to support him when he comes.

It was exactly the angle Paul played. He said "i need to convert the non believers" and he did exactly that, because he believers would follow him anyway. We see this when he stands between the two groups, and chooses to talk to the progressive Fremen. Of course its nuanced. He relates to them more. He doesn't believe. He resents the propaganda. And in the middle of the film he let's go of revenge he wanted at the start. But then by the end he falls back into vengeance.

aMAZING REACTION.

14:18 "Why is this Life of Brian?" I am wondering the same thing. Is it an intentional homage, or is it just that Life of Brian was brilliant satire of how belief in a messiah works, and this is the serious version of the same thing?

29:23 this is a really good point. Have you read the book?

Love this movie 🤤🤤🤤😀

36:58 Lady Gaga's backup dancers!

Great reaction as always! Suggestion: react to arcane!! Please. Favorite reactor + Favorite animated show = Awesomeness

Read the books Baron harkonnen uses boys until he has no use for them he is a true devil

Paul was supposed to be a girl and married off to Feyd Rautha, their child would have been the kwisatz haderach.

After the deletion of House Atreides, with his mother's guidance, Paul is able to make use of the planted myths by claiming to be "Mahdi", a messianic figure from stories spread among the Fremen by the Missionaria Protectiva. The Mahdi legend has been planted on Dune and indicates to Jessica that conditions on Arrakis are truly awful, for this legend is reserved for only the harshest environments where a Bene Gesserit would need the maximum advantage over surrounding influences. Paul's rise to power is greatly aided by the Mahdi legend, as Paul Atreides, the son of a Bene Gesserit, became the Kwisatz Haderach, delivering the Fremen from subjugation, and spreading Muad'dib's Jihad across the universe..

❤❤

Rabban is a bad boss. The Harkonnen are cannibal-vampires.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG when's part 2?

Paul is NOT a hero he knows that the "holy war" he starts will kill billions that's why he didn't want to go south but you can't stop fate, Paul and especially Jessica who after the water of life scene has one aim, to make the Fremen believe in the Prophecy and get behind Paul so Paul with the Fremen can make a play for the throne, while its been Jessica who was pulling the strings all along, when Paul makes the fantastic speech to the fremen we see her face with just a small grin that gave me chills, she now knows that the the lies on top of the prophecy and Pauls power to see the future has given them an army of fanatics who will do anything for their messiah and the line "lead them to paradise" starts the the jihad, also did you notice that Jessica starts the movie in very light clothing but after the water of life she is now a reverend mother and the more power she gets the more dressed up she is. yeah great review but it really has to be seen in a imax cinema were i first saw it, i'm 60 years old been going to movies since i was 4 or 5 so i have seen a lot of movies over my years but this movie in Imax was the best sci-fi movie ever and the imax just made it so awesome.

Where are my part 2???

Could you please react to: Black Rain (1989), with Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia.

The two things they deliberately stayed away from were: 1 - it is referred to a holy war in the books, but it is more commonly referenced as Muad'Dib's Jihad. They didnt refer to it as such in the film for fearvof islamist backlash. 2 - the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is most definitely homosexual and a certified PDF. They stayed away from portraying him like that due to not wanting backlash from the LGTBQ brigade. I am just making interesting observations based on the political climate we are in. They dont take away or add to the themes or plot too much at all, so its not a complaint by any means. Villeneuve did the story and its themes justice.

I Need Part 2 ?

Could you please react to: The Mambo Kings (1992), with Antonio Banderas and Armand Assante.

As written

Yes, the Kwisatz Haderach and Lisan al Gaib are both very separate. The former is what the Bene Gesserit have been plotting to bring about, with the intent of having him under their control. The Lisan al Gaib is one of many prophecies planted on worlds across the Imperium that a Bene Gesserit in trouble could recognise and exploit.

Oh your god?

As a funny observation, to this American the difference between you saying "dune" and "jinn" is negligible. It sounds like you're saying the same word!

I'm surprised by how many people miss that na baron's little harem needs to be fed; women literally eating women. Or, whoever is convenient.

Secretly record your reactions in theater and play in a small picture in picture in the corner. Officially don't do it...

The books are so good. The movies are great to look at but they fall short at the amazing world building and lore of Dune. In the book there is no such thing as groups and factions. The Fremen are a very cohesive and act, think like one. That is actually the realistic take since it would be the only way for a tribe in this environment to survive. Herbert had a fascination with ecology and how human groups adapt to their environments.

You guys should react to the original 1984 movie next, it'll be a fun reaction to watch.😊

What an awesome reaction! Chani, also known by her intimate name Sihaya (meaning Desert Spring), will be a concubine of Emperor Paul Atreides. With the Emperor, she mothered Leto Atreides II the Elder, God-Emperor Leto Atreides II the Younger, and Ghanima Atreides. The book ends: Paul: “I swear to you now,” he whispered, “that you’ll need no title. That woman over there will be my wife and you but a concubine because this is a political thing and we must weld peace out of this moment, enlist the Great Houses of the Landsraad. We must obey the forms. Yet that princess shall have no more of me than my name. No child of mine nor touch nor softness of glance, nor instant of desire.” Jessica: “Think on it, Chani: that princess will have the name, yet she’ll live as less than a concubine-never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she’s bound. While we, Chani, we who carry the name of concubine-history will call us wives.” Btw. The casualties in Paul's holy war were 61 billion lives, the sterilization of ninety planets, and the "demoralization" of five hundred additional worlds. Furthermore, 40 different religions were wiped out, along with their followers. The only planet that was spared the raging fire of Muad'Dib's Jihad was the home world of House Atreides, Caladan. Lady Jessica, mother of Paul Muad'Dib, refused the Fremen any access to the planet, including religious pilgrimage.

Its the great movie. At the 24:26 Paul sees a woman that at the first movie figure was Chani. At the second movie we see his mother. But my best guess at the third movie the figure will be princess Irulan. Because the actress's shoulders are wider than other 2 women. Arrakis is Iraq. Spice is oil. As you know that Iraq is the north side of arab world. At the south Yemen arabs are actually pure blood arabs that they still wield chrysknives even in 2024. Yemen ppl also more radicals then the northeners. Kwitsatz Haderach means a leap of the time or evolution of the mind in hebrew. Bene geserit is jewish cult that they control and enslave other cultures. Brainwashing that a prophet will come and save them. So Paul sees their dirty plans and he really want to save fremens at the end I guess. Athreides is greek based europe culture. Harkonens are slavic-finnish culture. Fremen is bedouin. Usul means order or custom. Gom Jabbar is forceful needle. Lisan al gaib prophecy or prophet. Fedaykin is jihadi. Anyway I think I should read books before the last movie.

Denis fundamentally changed Chani for the worse. The whole north vs. South Fremen doesn't exist in the book. The following book, Dune Messiah, is a commentary on bureaucracy and how charismatic leaders can lose control of what they have created. I understand why he changed Chani, but I think it's an error in interpretation.

I will never understand why Florence Pugh’s face makes everyone lose their sht in the beginning, like they saw a real Santa Claus or smth. Just another actress.

Come on! Why not release 1 and 2 as one whole video? This trend does not serve the purpose you think it does.

You guys must be the only reactors who actually got the character of Paul and not treat him as a hero.
