Why did I come to this movie again?
Because it’s Dune: Part Two!

Characters
This story is full of great characters with rich backgrounds and varied ideals. The film did a good job of showing us this.
Chani was probably my favorite.
There were a few who felt flat. I’m not sure if that was the actor or the director.

Did I care what happened?
Since I haven’t read the book for at least twenty-five years, I was interested in what happened. Mostly because I didn’t really remember.
The film kept the tension going, which kept me interested.

Plot Holes
There will always be plot holes in adaptations from books to film, and I’m generally forgiving with those.
What I didn’t love in this movie was little things like not showing us, the audience, how to ride a worm via a training run for Paul. They skipped a bunch of little things, due to time I’m sure, that made parts of the story feel shallow.

How many times did I yawn?
Surprisingly, none. Part two is faster paced than one, so that was good. I don’t think the hubby fell asleep at all, which is miraculous.

Cool Factor
I can’t fault the beauty of each scene in this movie. The attention to detail is mind-boggling, and I loved seeing it in the theater.
The battles were awesome, which is important to an action junkie like me. If you’re looking for a spectacle that’s also pretty, this is your film!

The End
It’s abrupt. There’s no denying that. However, I did love that Chani marches off because Paul is not only betraying here, but he’s also being an idiot. All he’s doing is replacing one overlord with another, and that’s not what they need.

Overall Enjoyment
Like the first film, I loved each individual scene, but the movie felt like a pile of squares for a beautiful quilt that were hastily strung together. Did I like it? Yes. Would I watch it again? Yes. Can I say I loved it? Not quite.
