Remember, the decade wasn't all that old yet. And to be honest, heading in to the new sequel, I stood by it. But walking out was a different story. Because Dune: Part Two is even better than the first film. The stakes somehow feel exponentially higher, the power struggles are even more mythic and Shakespearean, the onscreen world-building is richer and more exotically filigreed, and the visuals are even more epic and dazzling—something I didn't think was possible.
