Fans are buzzing with excitement for Dune: Part Two, the movie based on Frank Herbert’s classic novel. Brian Herbert, Frank Herbert’s son and keeper of the Dune legacy, got all emotional after catching Denis Villeneuve’s take on his dad’s creation.
He couldn’t help but spill his feelings on social media. It’s a big deal, you know? Seeing your old man’s genius on the big screen, feeling the weight of a masterpiece, and knowing fans are hyped about it, too. The 76-year-old’s reaction gives us a sneak peek into what it’s like for him to see his dad’s vision play out once again in theaters.
Frank Herbert’s Son Emotionally Praises Dune 2 In A Radiant Review
Frank Herbert’s son recently gave his two cents on Dune 2 in a heartfelt review. The movie’s a big deal for him because it’s carrying on his dad’s legacy from the first flick.
We all know adapting a book into a movie can be tricky, especially when it’s a massive sci-fi story like Dune by Frank Herbert. Remember how David Lynch’s version back in ’84 struggled with that?
But Denis Villeneuve nailed it with the first one in 2021, and now, the sequel’s almost here. Brian Herbert, the original author’s son, shared his thoughts after watching a sneak peek. He’s no stranger to the Dune world, having co-authored loads of books based on his dad’s notes.
So, when he says Dune 2 is the best movie version yet, fans are pumped. He wrote on Twitter,
“I saw Dune: Part Two at a private studio screening, and it is gratifying to see my father’s story told with such great care. When the new movie is combined with Dune: Part One, it is by far the best film interpretation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel DUNE that has ever been done.”
With his stamp of approval, it looks like Villeneuve’s adaptation might be joining the ranks of the greatest sci-fi flicks ever.
This just adds another layer of love for the film, making it a worthy successor to the legendary Dune series. And hey, did I mention Dune 2’s Rotten Tomatoes score is through the roof?
Dune: Part Two Surpasses The First Movie’s Rotten Tomatoes Score
Dune: Part Two has really topped the charts, beating out the first movie with a better Rotten Tomatoes score. It’s a big win for the sequel, showing it’s winning over both fans and critics.
Critics are raving about it, too, giving it an impressive 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 145 reviews. That’s a big jump from the first one, which only got an 83% rating. This shows the sequel’s sticking close to the original story while still making everyone happy, which isn’t easy.
The filmmakers really stepped up their game, making the story deeper and the world even more breathtaking. Dune: Part Two isn’t just another sci-fi flick; it’s a game-changer.
With Herbert’s thumbs-up, the awesome Rotten Tomatoes score, and how it stacks up against other adaptations, it’s clear Villeneuve’s version is the ultimate Dune experience.
But hey, there’s more to the story! Herbert isn’t just Frank Herbert’s son; he’s also continuing his dad’s legacy with a bunch of prequels and sequels he’s written with Kevin J. Anderson.
Starting with Dune: House Atriedes in ’99, he’s covered pretty much every corner of the Dune universe. While he’s loving Villeneuve’s take on Dune right now, who knows? His ideas might just inspire the new spinoff series Dune: The Prophecy, set to stream on Max later this year.
