I think it's very well produced, designed, shot, cast, acted, (screen)written, and directed. For me, it had to better than Lynch's 'Dune' (1984), and much better than Alejandro Jodorowsky's approaches. There were problems with both of those earlier approaches, but their inventive, surreal approaches are much better than the problems. Villeneuve's 'Dune' is much more attractive, rich in effects, but also less surreal. Villeneuve's worlds are somewhat realistic and without mystery. The wierdness is gone in the new version. The enormous sets and massive budget created an entirely new universe that's almost impossible to compare with the earlier versions. Both Lynch's and Villeneuve's versions are re-watchable and interesting, though for different reasons.

I absolutely appreciated it, and Villeneuve is phenomenal at bring scale into the film. I do still enjoy the 1984 version for its style choices and I love me some Lynch body horror, but the Weirding Module stuff was kinda silly. The TV Dune was great because it really aligned with the book, but the production values were so corny. I'm interested to see how Villeneuve handles Messiah. That is a tougher sell and I hope they don't just keep Chani alive so we see more Zendaya over telling that story.
