Timothee Chalamet is coming into his own with his acting, especially his control over his voice. Playing Paul Atreides requires a lot of force in the second half of this trilogy and I was pleasantly surprised. Zendaya can act with her face but she should have asked for some reshoots as some of the scenes didn't land for me.
There is a stellar supporting cast, reuniting Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem who we haven't seen on screen together since No Country For Old Men. Rebecca Ferguson is good in almost everything I've seen. Florence Pugh plays the conflicted Princess, and Anya Taylor-Joy has a surprising cameo as Alia for those who know the book material.
I'd say the film was more entertaining than the first and I gave the first one a *checks notes* an A. I can't say this is an A+ as I wouldn't really wanna watch it again but it's still a great film. Result: A
