As might be said in Dune by Paul Atriedes, “You speak the truth!” with regard to the sequels and the first movie attempt. I understand the same violence was done fairly recently to the classic The Hobbit, too, but I learned my lesson with Dune. Live and learn.
The 2000 SciFi channel Miniseries was much better.
Closer to the book and didn’t have “Sting” trying to act.
It’s out of print now so buy it used, the new price is a bit high.

Or the fat guy from “Rhoda” playing Harkonnen

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune
Watch the SciFi (SyFy?) miniseries.
Much better.
