What did you want him to do? Not make the movie?
I know a lot of people wanted this movie to be made and consider it a success (artistically), but this is worth considering.

Dune has already been adapted once as a movie and once for TV. You could just adapt a different book, or make sometihng original, rather than produce another adaptation of Dune that's awkwardly split in two.

True, though the original context was that Dune Part One suffers greatly from its split narrative (with a second part not even guaranteed). I don't think the LotR movies do to the same extent, and had a few more changes in structure to fit its format. And all the parts were also produced concurrently.
