I pretty much watched just parts of Dune 1 while my husband was watching it, so didn't really get a good grasp on the movie. He wanted to go see the 2nd one, so we went to see it this past weekend. It was a long movie.
There were a few times that we would look at each other like, WTH? Like when all the Fremen (sand people) were all non-white and prayed like Muslims, and seemed to me that they portrayed all the white groups that were after the spice like evil people. They had Baron Harkonnen (that weird evil uncle dude) that kissed his nephew, Feyd-Rautha (weird evil nephew- and why does his name remind me of Roth?) full on the mouth.
The witch Reverend Mother Mohiam, at the end said something like ... "Now starts the Holy War", as the Fremen were pretty much destroying the other groups.
And what is with the blue worm juice?
I guess I can be reading this movie all wrong being I have never read the books on it or completely watched the first one.
When I searched GAW for Dune 2, this post came up from about 6 months ago, so I thought I'd share it because the op (SuqamisLostPassport) thought the movie had coms.

Here's the trailer for the movie... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15239678/
First: Did you read the book: Dune by Frank Herbert?
if not, please do. This will answer some of your questions in relation to the fremen.
The issue is, that exploiting the religious sensibilities (delusions) of people makes them easily manipulated and can be easily turned into strong fighter.
That is why you see in totalitarian regimes the need for indoctrination and the creation of special units.
Another interesting idea the Frank Herbert intertwined in his story, is the manipulation of the great houses by forcing upon those Houses women trained by them. This is infiltration and DNA manipulation, and even cultural appropriation.
So, if it worries you, then ask yourself why? There are many ways to commit genocide. If you can' t get them out, bread them out is one such item. ( prima nocte). On the other hand, it also shows you that for commerce to commence, spice is the nuclear item. Power is dependent on and wishes to control this substance.
What in our world is the nuclear item that power wants to control? Money? What does money represent?
The book is very interesting to read, as it contains many layers, like real life. I highly recommend it, as you interact with your own visuals based on your comprehension instead of those by Hollywood.
As for the movie itself: it is shit. Acting is bad, and it left me wondering what this second installment was all about. As always, woke culture is ideological. And that is always bad. Dune (2000) is better, but the best remains: Dune (1984).
