the most iconic element of the dune franchise is the sandworms. they are among the most iconic giant monsters in all of pop culture. given their iconography, you'd think that dune parts 1 and 2 would feature them pretty prominently.
well, no actually. in the first dune movie, the sandworm only has about a minute of screentime. and in part 2, they have slightly more screentime but not a whole lot.
however, this is actually not a terrible thing. although they don't have much screentime, they make what little screentime they have count. they are at the center of some of the best scenes of the duology. also, overusing them would have desensitized us to them and made them less impressive.
it's like the shark from jaws. it builds up the sandworms and then gives us a glorious reveal. the usage of the sandworms is a perfect example of less being more.
