Dune Part 2 has already beaten out classics like the 2009 Avatar and 2019's Avengers: Endgame when it comes to ratings on IMDB. Who would have thought that this book adaptation would become one of the greatest films of the 2000s, but it seems that Denis Villeneuve has done it with the second installment of Dune.

Dune 2 is going to be releasing Worldwide on February 29, 2024 and fans should go into the movie with high expectations. Especially since it's become the highest rated movie ever on IMDB.

Dune 2 Beats The Godfather And Inception With Highest IMDB Rating Ever

The highest rated movie on IMDB to this point has been the 1994 prison drama The Shawshank Redemption with an IMDB rating of 9.3. Well, this is likely to change with the release of Dune 2. Ahead of the film's publication on February 29, the movie has raked in a rating of 9.4, making it the highest rated film ever on IMDB.

Other notable movies that have grossed high ratings are Inception with a score of 8.8. The previous number two spot was held by none other than The Godfather with a rating of 9.2, but with the release of Dune 2 it's going to fall to the number three spot on IMDB's ratings list.

While the first Dune was no box office mega hit like Avengers: Endgame, which made around $2.8 billion, it did manage to snag 6 Oscars when it released and had a decent rating of 8.8 on IMDB. It seems that the second parts emotional weight and visuals have shot it to the top of the ratings.

So, if you haven't watched Dune, yet, it's about time because it seems like the second part is going to bring the series to the next level for critics and regular viewers.
