I can't agree with this. The movie was easy to follow (although the lore isn't spoonfed via long exposition scenes). I went to watch it with several people who had no prior knowledge and they seemed to genuinely enjoy it, as well as understand the plot. This is anecdotal evidence, but I found that online (Discord chat, reviews...), most people who had no prior knowledge of Dune, seemed to have enjoyed it more than the people who had prior book knowledge. My main concern going in was the 3rd act (or lack of one) but I was already fully expecting it, so I had no issues knowing it was only part 1.
