#2Historically, february is the time of the year where studios tend to offload the films they think are going to flop. Maybe that has changed.

The first was okay. I was disappointed, I really like villenueve's other work. But it was just kinda stale.

Dune: Part Two was actually scheduled for release end of last year, but got delayed due to the writers' strike. Maybe it hasn't changed afterall.

#5I do hope so! I love Denis Villeneuve, but felt initially that Dune part one didn't live up to the standard I was used to from him. Mostly due to the structure and pacing.
But Villeneuve did explicitly intend this as a two-parter, and I've held on to the hope that it was all intentional and that his decisions will serve the films as a whole experience.

#6I absolutely loved the first film. I am very excited for the second part. I enjoy long movies, so having two parts is good.
One part of the first movie that sticks out to me is seeing their space ships for the first time. It was such a different style of space ship that it (plus the music) really struck me in the moment and stayed with me.

I really wanted to like it, and the visuals were fantastic. But, I had no emotional reaction to the characters and feel like the plot was just flowing along without a reason for me to care. I gave it 30 minutes.

#8There haven't been many good sci-fi films in the past decade though, especially if you think the Marvel cinematic universe is boring. Competition is thin.

#9The first one was good enough for me to see 2/3 times in IMAX :)
The director literally made some of his other movies to prep for Dune.
Movies with dozens of Millions in budget were his practice for this next flick, so hey, I'm ready to give my money and be blown away!

#10> Even better than the first film
The first part left me quite underwhelmed, tbh. Maybe I had too high expectations given the director, but while the visuals are amazing, the characterization of some characters (like lady Jessica or Thufir Hawat) are very far from how the books depicts them, and I don't think is an interpretation thing.
I understand that Dune is too big of a masterpiece for a simple 2 part movie (it should be a 6-8 session series at least), but I think for instance that the graphic novels do a way better job of conveying the essentials.
I'll watch this anyways, I am still a Dune fan.
