I wasn’t a huge fan of the first part and haven’t seen (nor will I) the original. Having said that, I have booked my ticket for Friday!

You're not alone!
Never seen the 1984 one. Watched Part one at the cinema with a friend who loves Dune and I just didn't get it. Don't even remember what happened to be honest. Something something "Spice". Like a gluten for punishment I am going with him and another big fan for the sequel this Friday. I've got 3 more night to try to watch part 1 again and try to at least understand it before watching the sequel!

Managed to convince the misses to watch Part 1 at the weekend. Not sure why it took so long as she's a massive Timothy 'whatshisname' fan.
Now I can drag her to Part 2

I watched part 1 again for the first time since the cinema, this time with my wife.
She enjoyed it but said she will wait for it to come out for home release so it looks like I need another trip to the cinema with my sci-fi loving friends for part 2

Presumably there's more after this one though?
This new one isn't 'the end'?

Denis has expressed interest in doing one last movie to cover Messiah. No idea what that means as I've never read the books, but I will be all for it if it happens, mainly as a Denis fan.

Denis ( the director) has stated that he willing do one more movie in the series title "Dune: Messiah" and that he being a fan of the book series doesn't want to do any of the other book just the three that covers part 1, part 2 and Messiah. he also stated before Christmas in an interview that the script for the proposed third film "dune: messiah" was virtually complete, but please keep in mind that at this stage no third movie hasn't been greenlight for production, at best only entry level discussion have been done and script was being done incase they say we want a third film.
Dune never really end, it just descends into increasingly awful and forgettable novels. I don't even remember most of them and I've re-read them in the last few years. None of them end up in any kind of conclusion, so you'll be disappointed if that's what you're looking for.
The first book, maybe second are cool bits of scifi space opera but Herbert is not a good writer. There are loads of scifi novel series out there that are better.

Didn't he write 6 books? It's only when his son carried on it wasn't as good. After listening to the audio book upto messia, I can see star wars copied quite a bit from dune. Messia - the one. Twins, evil emperor, space travel, and who knows that else.
None of the books are good reading, the first sets up some wonderful world building but the writing is pretty awful and gets worse, by God Emperor it's just the ranting waffle of a boring old man mostly.
Lynch's Dune is good, always had a soft spot for it.
Villeneuve's first part left me a bit cold but I'm hopeful the second part will get into the meat of the books more.
