Dune part 2 spoilers
I finally, belatedly saw Dune part 2. I didn't like it as well as the first part. I was a bit surprised that they decided to change it so that Alia wasn't born, implying the events of part 2 all took place in a matter of a few months, which is probably why they also wrote out Paul and Chani's first child. It seems like an unnecessary change. I'd say they probably did it for brevity, but those moves could not reasonably be called brief.

I was impressed that they seem to have come up with an entire conlang for Chakobsa; it's been a long time since I read Dune, but IIRC there isn't a whole lot to go on, just a few words and short phrases (i.e. not like Tolkien's elvish or even Klingon in Star Trek).

Finally, by the end of the movie I sort of started feeling like "Lisan al Gaib" is to Dune 2 as "she's my queen" is to GOT season 8 😉
(I don't otherwise mean to compare their quality; I liked the former a *lot* better than the latter.)
