I came here to say exactly this. I've always loved his version of Dune and I was genuinely surprised when I got online years later and starting seeing that most people seemed to think it was bad.

I liked that movie too. Only thing I didn't like was the interpretation of 'wierding ways' as an acoustic weapon. I always imagined it to be a super capable martial art.

  That, and how it seemed like Paul made it rain in the end. He was a man playing god, not an actual weather god.

    Dune, today, sounds like something M. Night Shyamalan would make into a movie.

    IIRC at the end of the book the fremen use their vast reserves of water to change the planet climate. Although the film doesn't make it explict, it does show the reserves of water.

  That was actually one of the parts I did like. The book's portayal felt like some kind of weird mystical thing, while the weirding modules felt like actual science fiction.
