Woah. This is truly an epic tour de force. As far as blockbuster filmmaking goes, this is damn near unmatched. It expands on the rich worldbuilding of the first film without becoming convoluted. It is visually jaw-dropping in nearly every frame, the sheer spectacle on display is awe-inspiring. The action sequences are also some of the most expertly staged and pulse-pounding that I've seen in a blockbuster lately. The character development is top notch and the performances from pretty much our entire ensemble are on point. Austin Butler also makes for a compelling villain that keeps the viewer on edge whenever he's on screen. It is absolutely enthralling from start to finish with not a single dull moment. The hype is warranted, this is the real deal, it is absolute top of the line filmmaking. Denis has managed to top the already excellent first film, and if the 3rd film maintains this quality, then this will hands down be one of the greatest trilogies of all time.
These are rather minor issues, but I feel like the pacing isn't quite as precise as in the first film, because there's so much going on, it feels like a few details are glossed over a bit, and although I think the romance is well-written, I don't feel like Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya had an abundance of on-screen chemistry. Still, 9/10 that could go up to a 10/10 on re-watch.
Lastly, in IMAX Laser the sound design is INSANE, with some of the heaviest room-shaking bass I've ever heard in a theater. It might be the loudest movie I've heard in theaters since Tenet. I loved the experience but if they had pushed the volume just a little farther it might've become too much.

Oh, and since we were talking about trailers in the shoutbox earlier...
I got: A Quiet Place: Day One Civil War The Fall Guy Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Twisters
NO Godzilla x Kong trailer shockingly.

That's weird. My screening had Godzilla x Kong. Also felt like we had slightly more trailers than that. We even gotten a green band trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine. I'm assuming you went to Regel and not AMC.

I'm assuming you went to Regel and not AMC. The IMAX is at a different Regal than I usually go to but yes. I'll probably see this again at my usual location, which will likely have some different trailers.

http://instagram.com/p/C4N0lFWhYwI This is one of the reasons why I didn't get into Dune so many years ago. I gave the 1984 a try once, but couldn't get into it. It is basically parts 1 and 2 compressed into a 2 hours movie. I think it is much easier to watch now since we know the characters and story now, and it is fun to compare it to the Denis Villeneuve's version.

I got: A Quiet Place: Day One Civil War The Fall Guy Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Twisters NO Godzilla x Kong trailer shockingly. Regal RPX trailers: IF (30 second commercial) Immaculate The Fall Guy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare Twisters Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (Still no Deadpool)
A few very minor gripes aside, this is still a phenomenal movie and amazing theatrical experience. I'd say this and the first movie are about even overall, although this one has higher highs.
