I haven't read the book since I was a kid, but it can't be as bad as that movie.
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.
