I disagree...that movie was a horrible mishmash...not watchable even in its various release edits!

To me it captured the tone and imagery I saw when I read the book (before Herbert went nuts midway through God Emperor of Dune which sadly Sci Fi channel decided to make a film of).
But I saw the same arguments for LOTR (there should be no such arguments for the Gawdawful Hobbit movie).
IOW YMMV.
PS: Sci Fi channel made a hash of it, too.
