I hear good things about it but sadly I’ve become suspicious of any adaptations made in the time we live in. I have the next two books and may just stick to that. Zendaya as well is like the poster child for race swapping.

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed Dune. But since I already bought Messiah and Children of Dune I’ll read them. You gonna watch the movie?
Probably not. I almost never watch new movies; pretty much everything produced after 2010 has been high budget but shallow garbage.
I think since 2010 I've been coerced into seeing John Wick, Joker, Deadpool, Little Women, and ... I dunno. I'd rather watch some bad low-budget 70s and 80s sci-fi than the stuff dominated by overpaid, ego-inflated assholes that Hollywood pumps out now.
Budget was not the problem for Dune (1984), they had plenty of money. That's what makes it such a horrid spectacle. Dune (2000) was the one that was done on a shoestring budget and it's chief sin is that it's boring.
I'd read the fourth book, too. After that, nope right out.
