This looks so great. I love that they are focusing on the prophecy and all that entails.

im sure im gonna get shit on here but i thought Dune 1 was the single most boring and terrible movie i ever tried to watch. i was waiting for SOMETHING to happen the whole time and literally nothing happens. its slow moving people in gigantic buildings and landscapes doing absolutely nothing! like holy hell i thought i was missing something but Dune was just hours of people doing nothing. sit around and talk here, sit around and talk over here now. look my house is the size of your whole planet haha, now listen to me talk very very slowly for the next 20 minutes about nothing.

Well, everybody has their preferences, but it is a big story with a lot of background, and for people who love the story of Dune, it was rather nice to see it given adequate time. It's a large book, and there is still stuff left out. You're not obligated to like these movies (or the book), but if you don't like complex stories that require an attention span, then they've made some Transformers movies you might enjoy. Better choice if you want all action with no world building or story.
