I love Dune and I hope it's going to be a three-parter because I felt that they were making a mistake trying to cram the middle in.
The book has, broadly 3 parts; the Atreides are slaughtered at Arrakeen and Paul escapes, Paul lives with the Fremen and leads them in a guerilla war while learning about his powers, and Paul becomes the Kwisatz Haderach and leads his people against the Harkonnen and the forces of the emperor. The 80s movie largely skipped over the middle part, reducing the guerilla campaign to a short montage, meaning the bulk of the movie is the start and finish, and I was concerned that the new movie was going to do the same thing.
