Totally agree that the new movie is more accurate to the book than the 1980s Lynch movie. The Lynch movie is long as fuck and weird as fuck, but I love it. Bald women witches, Sting, "OUR STORM!!!", the inner monologue stuff being spoken out loud, the insane set designs. Bizarre and and I love it.
I also love the book (just Dune..not the sequels) but in a very different way.
The new movie was mostly more accurate, some nice cinematography, but I just found it boring. The actors were boring. The characters were boring. I don't even remember what anyone looked like other than Paul and Thufir Hawat. Oh yeah, and they turned Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart in the 80s) into a black woman. It has so much of that modern "whispering loudly = drama!!@!@!". Timothy Chalamet is way too mincing to be Paul who is after all supposed to be a very trained fighter. just ... meh.
