I thought “Dune” was a good movie. I never read the book.

I have noticed that people who don’t like it have read the book.

I read the 1st three Dune books 3 times. The series went way out there after those chapters.

Still, I felt that the first movie was good as it was only of the first book. The Sci Fi version was not as good but it had more details due to its more hours of play.

The entire story is weird but I had friends whom I thought were bright who praised it, so I read it. First reading was incredibly now, more than 40 years ago.

Lol. Yes, the movie wasn’t as good as the book. Just like a couple of the Steven King books, Salem’s Lot and the Shinning, there are two movie versions of Dune — one on the big screen and one made for TV.

The originals are better in all cases. Maybe because the newer movies seem contrived and an attempt to make more money from the book or series. As Mel Brooks put it in the Space Balls movie — “Space Balls 2, the Search for More Money.”
