I love the book. The 80s film was ok but a poor adaptation of FH's Book Dune.
The 2000 SciFy mini Series was better and enjoyable. Yet still hard to live up to the book.
These new films were outstanding! Yes much of the book was left out, and "Chanis"depiction was disappointing. She could have been perfect, but she came across at odds with how the book reads! She is too anti Paul in this film. A little too Woke
The depiction
and actors whom played Paul, Leto, Jessica, Gurni, Rabaan, Idaho, Stillgar, Barron Harrkonned, and Fayed were absolutely amazing!! Jamis was spot on and o e of my favorite actors.
Dr Kines was a man In all previous interpretation and in the book.
The decision to make him, female in this film was just more woke bad choices.
But overall, most other choices, very impressive! Herbet would be mostly proud.
I hope this director continues this series with Dune Messiah and Childeren of Dune.
