Is Dune part 2 worth watching? (lemmy.world)

I just finished part 1 and, well, I'm kinda disappointed. It's not bad, I think it's actually pretty solid, but compared to the book it's much worse in terms of story progression and characters. Some parts felt really rushed. I didn't expect it to be better than the book, but I still expected better adaptation considering that (at least as far as I know) it was well received and I knew that it didn't adapt whole book so I expected it to don't skip too much. Is part 2 any better?

Watching dune 2 in the IMAX theatre with my buds was perhaps one of the greatest movie experiences in my life

I can imagine the sandworm ride was a blast on the big screen and with the big speakers. I haven't felt so much being blown into my seat since Fury Road...
