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?

I tried to watch part 1 again tonight and I'm putting it down with about an hour left. 4k on a theatre screen with headphones and popcorn and I laughed out loud when Jessica and Paul were whispering to each other 20' away in the mist, when the gang strode off the ship accompanied by bagpipes ("shields up!") and that one time the Sardukar shouted "Sardukar" during the invasion. I'm done trying to understand what some people see in these movies. Absolute garbage as far as I can tell.
