Your gripes about the movie?

Only a few:
-Javier Bardem's accent at time slurs his English words making it indiscernible.

-Subtitles for Fremen speak sometimes don't appear in time when the characters are speaking leading to a delay.

-Shield in Dune 1 at least gave people using hand-to-hand a couple of hits before succumbing to blade penetration but in Dune 2 they are mostly useless or very inconsistent. (eg: Feyd-Rautha fighting the last remaining Atreides works wonders but in large battles they usually die with one hit while the shield blurs blue instead of red.)

-Way too many Houses. It's like a Game of Thrones but on a desert planet filled with THC. I am hoping to see the Holy War unfold though if they make a 3rd movie.

-I wish we got to see more of each of the House's military hardware used. Most of the fighting was hand to hand. Never got to see any Harkonnen tanks or the Emperor Shaddam's own imperium arsenal.

-Sardaukar were really disappointing this time around. Such elite units got easily mowed down.

-If all House's have nukes, why didn't the Emperor bring his own batch to reclaim the throne?

1) No Spacing Guild.
2) The events in the book take place over 4-5 years. In the movies, it's more like 4-5 months.
3) Chani's slap.

We'll see that in Dune Messiah after Paul declared Holy War on all great Houses. They'll be probably shown ferrying in troops from different planets or whatnot.
