The first was good. It got some things right that the 1980s film got wrong- like the ornithopters. The Baron Harkonnen wasn't as outrageous a caricature either.
I'm personally partial to the late 1800s european great powers vibe of the old movie. Certainly the last quarter of it was very rushed , but honestly original book was the same way.
They probably toned down the Baron because he's the only homosexual depiction in it. I will never forgive them for ruining Kynes character, and putting somebody so ugly as Chani.
Genderswapping Kynes alone should have sent alarm bells off with anyone who knows anything about Dune.
I could go off on a large tangent about how it makes no fucking sense given the entire political and gender-aspect of the setting as a whole, but, eh. Try to point this out and you get a horde of midwits mumbling something about how I hate women or blacks or something.
