Wait until God Emperor of Dune is made. Momoa will think he is in a Groundhog Day movie remake.

I have forgotten nearly everything about the movies so I'll need to rewatch before 3 comes out.

Remember finding 1 an absolute slog (still thought it was decent). 2 was absolutely superb.

Don't go in expecting 3 to be like 2.

Not as good?

Not sure at this stage. There might be a departure from the source material to make it more visually pleasing with action set pieces. The books focus on the narrative over action sequences. It's hard sci-fi afterall so anything can be expected but definitely no happy endings here.

I haven't actually read the second book (Dune Messiah, which Movie 3 is adapting) - but I believe it is a much more introspective and tragic story rather than the more action-driven, political, heroes-journey of the original book (and the first two films). From my understanding, what action there is in Dune Messiah largely occurs off page, so it will be interesting to see if they bring any of that off-page action to the screen to make the film closer in tone to Part 1 and 2, or if they dive into the more introspective, character driven conflict of the Messiah narrative.
