2 is going to be amazing. Hopefully we get a trilogyWell I know its a little late in the game but I've finally seen Dune - Part 1 twice now.
Overall I was very happy with how it turned out and hotly anticipating Part 2.
I'm really looking forward to this. I thought Part 1 was fantastic.

Yeah, same, they announced the delay yesterday.Looks like this has been delayed till March 2024 due to the writers & actors strikes.
While I’m a little gutted we won’t get it this year, I’m happy to support the strikes.
After reading your post, then researching… I was honestly shocked that the trilogy wasn’t filmed in one sitting - as is normal for movies THEY KNOW they’ll do sequels tooView attachment 1333134
Finally got back from watching Prt 2 at the cinema.
I’m enchanted with Denis world building and the Character's he fills those worlds with. Obviously Frank Herbert has more to do with that but Denis vision of the source material is certainly better than Lynch.
To get into the mood the wife and I watched Part 1 again on UHD, finishing about 1 hour before 2 started so the whole thing was fresh in our minds. It certainly makes for a cohesive and stunning journey.
I felt 2 could have been longer, fleshing out the battle sequences a bit more and diving deeper into Paul’s rite of passage from an Atreides to an honorary Fremen. Also I could certainly handle some more worms. It did feel as though maybe this was considered and cut to be a more cinema friendly time.
Denis is apparently nearly finished with the script for Part 3, which should cover Dune Messiah. There is also talk of a prequel TV series, but it’s not a forgone conclusion.
I wouldn’t say the second film quite stands up to the hype that reviews and critics are giving it but it’s not far off.
I can’t wait for the UHD so I can watch both back to back. I’d also like to see extended versions and hopefully this included the altering aspect ratios to show the IMAX scenes.
I don't think reading the series would spoil enjoyment of the movies in any real way. If anything it goes into a lot more explicit detail of the world-building in ways that just aren't possible with a movie without spouting exposition directly in the camera. I don't think you need the books to enjoy the movies though, and the movies might well be more enjoyable going in blind.Debating on wether or not to read the series before they release Part 3.
