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?

The 2nd movie is very rushed story wise but was better than the first. I hate the choice of Timothee and I hate some unnecessary stroy decisions they took but it's hollywood.

The mini series from 2000 did a better job, apart from some Harkonnen costume choices.

apart from some Harkonnen costume choices.

Oh, man, I forgot about those. 😄 The miniseries is good, though.
