The Guardian’s Xan Brooks also gave Dune a five-star review, calling it “blockbuster cinema at its dizzying, dazzling best”.
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune has divided critics, receiving both rave reviews and being branded disappointing.
In a five-star review for The Independent, critic Clarisse Loughrey said that the Dune remake was this generation’s answer to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Full marks were given again by Robbie Collin at The Daily Telegraph, who said that Villeneuve’s adaptation was an “awe-inspiring piece of work”.
