Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

It's not exactly a new phenomenon. Kill Bill did it 20 years ago. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Twilight Breaking Dawn did it 12 years ago. The Hobbit was inexplicably split in 3. Mockingjay was a 2 parter. IT released as chapter 1 and chapter 2. Add to your list Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning which just did the same thing this year.
I much prefer a multipart film over a rushed mess. Dune is a great candidate, given that it is adapting almost 1000 pages.
Okay, it just feels like we've started to see a resurgence in this type of film structure because for a while we got a lot of one-offs and trilogies a format that I perfer because there's no need to watch the next movie to get closure for the last movie you watched. Now it seems that a lot of movies are adopting this big cliffhanger at the end of a story. It may not be rushed, but it's incomplete.
