Dune 2 is a nice slow burn story. A nice step up from the original. Zandeya plays her role perfectly and so does everyone else. That being said, the plot wears its references on it's nose, a lot of characters just take risky decisions that lead to their demise and a lot of characters have so much plot amour, it's ridiculous. That being said, it is the right movie for the right audience and I am one of them.
