But still leaves a lot of background and other important facts out. Like some others have mentioned, Chani's story was a complete departure from the original literature. I can live with that vision if that's where they want to carry it, even though I think it doesn't currently make the story better. Maybe in future installments, if they really want to veer from the literature and make it their own(which could end up disastrous). I'm also disappointed that they never really got across the importance of the spice It's almost like an afterthought or pawned off as some kind of drug(a lot of the political stuff is tied up in this, where a lot of the missing parts of the story lie).
The main thing I did like about this one over Part One, they cut down on the overuse of the long dreamy sequences. That really killed it for me in the first one. It dragged the movie out to long without enough meat on the bone(backstory). I felt like this one fleshed out things more, even though it wasn't necessarily the way it played out in the books.
As it stands, I am a little more eager about a 3rd installment; whereas before I didn't really care if a Part Two ever came out.
