If you mean that 2021 Dune movie, no kidding it's terrible. I haven't read the book since I was a kid, but it can't be as bad as that movie. I fell asleep, and I can suffer some slow movies. Lots of older movies are slow and light on action, yet in a lot of cases manage to keep attention. Dune was just boring and ugly.

Considering that the French cunt stripped everything that makes Dune Dune from the story, no it's not. It is quite literally not Dune and anyone who says the opposite should be locked up in an insane asylum.
Even the very foundation of the story isn't explained. What is spice and why is it and Dune so vitally important? If you've only watched the movies you won't know the answer. 1984 Dune explained more in the first 5 minutes than those two movies did in their whole 5 fucking hours of runtime.
People like to shit on Lynch's version but that movie actually feels and looks like Dune and is actually fun even if it takes a lot of liberties with the story. The fan cut fixes quite a few of those liberties and turn the movie from a bad adaption (story wise) into quite a decent adaption while the mini series remains the only great adaption of Dune.
Kyle MacLachlan was absolutely brilliant in the role -- he came in with a sense of mischievous wonder. It was a tough role to pull off to both portray a character who understands the world but has a sense of awe and wonder about how it works so he's both explaining to the audience and being explained to by other characters the necessary information the audience needs to know in order to understand the worldbuilding.
That movie was actually pretty good, whether you've read the books or not, because it setup the baseline for what you needed to understand within that sci-fi universe and kept the pace moving at a rapid clip to try to get everything in as quickly as possible within its runtime.
There were issues for sure, but there were some absolutely epic moments, too. Paul riding in on the Shai-Hulud near the end was cinematic mastery.
Plus, Sting was cool in that flick -- he didn't have to say or do much to come across as a right sodding prick in that film, and it worked.

If you think that Dune movie was bad, the 1984 version was the worst movie ever made.

May your sleeves always get wet when washing your hands.
Huh I kinda liked the first 2 parts, but I already know the story.
