Personally don’t think it held a candle to the first but I’m gonna go see it again next week just in case.

I absolutely loved the first one. The second one hits different, and I remember thinking that 'this is what it must've been like watching The Empire Strikes Back' after you've only seen the first Star Wars.
The tone, cinematography and sound have the same vibes as the first, but I think the baseline creative design and approach to the whole Dune Universe established in the first film landed so well with the novelty factor. This one is more complex and trippy but is definitely a slow burner.
Overall, I was intensely invested in it from start to finish, even though a lot of it was slow. That really paid off with what were some legitimately brilliant sequences, and the development of Paul's character was great.
The first looks a masterpiece after the 2nd following masterpiece.
Very well knit together...nothing lacking at all from either film.
