Really enjoyed Dune 2. One hell of a movie from a craft perspective, and as someone who loved the book, it's always great to see it depicted on screen pretty much the way you imagined it (LOTR was the same for me).
I do worry about prequels or additional sequels. It's pretty tricky stuff to adapt, given all of the weird concepts and narration in the book that provides exposition that doesn't really translate to the screen. Villeneuve is categorically a great director and I worry that suits will look at what he was able to achieve and think that most anyone can do it, and that's just not going to be true.
