Squeezing Frank Herbert's classic sci-fi novel into a two-hour movie was always doomed to misfire.

I really do not understand all the hate for David Lynch's "Dune" adaptation. I think honestly his work is much closer to the books in terms of dialogue and internal monologuing. I also think the movie holds up very well even today because of the outstanding performances of the actors. I do agree Villenevue's "Dune"s are better movies with better cinematography and score but the acting is actually not that great compared to the origional Dune movie. Chalemet, Austin, and the guy who played the Baron (I'm writing this on my phone and don't want to look up his name) carried the entire two movies to success in terms of the acting.
