We have seen 20 minutes of 'Dune II' with Villeneuve and we have good news: the expectation is more than justified
Last November we had the opportunity to attend an exclusive twenty-minute screening of ‘Dune: Part II’, the highly anticipated second installment of the monumental adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic that Denis Villeneuve is carrying out. Of course, it is early to give an opinion, but we can assure that there are reasons to think that This new installment could be even more stimulating than the first. We tell you why.
When it comes to Hollywood expecting anything is a mistake, other than pandering. That one is a given these days.
I've only seen Frank Herbert's Dune but I thought the new one was too quickly paced and consequently boring. It needed to be slowed down and allow the world of Dune to fully seep. There's no chance that part two will fix this.
My friend, it lasts two and a half hours and barely covers the first third of the first book. If it were any slower it would just be hours of shots of a rock being eroded by wind.
And they would call that, "The Making of (a) Dune".
I'll see myself out.
If Villeneuve is still the director, I would be watching it anyway.
Yea but it could have hit 3 hours if they had written in Legolas.

Ssssh don't give them any ideas for the third installment.
Really? I mean it basically hit only half the story beats that Frank Herbert's Dune did, and it was longer.
Most people I know who complained about it complained about it being too slow at times and consequently boring. Not too fast. I personally thought it was fantastic, and I'm really looking forward to the second part.
@mhague I had the opposite problem, I felt like the pacing was off because it drags in the second act. I still want to see part 2 though.
