This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the movie Baron was much more threatening. We only see a little glimpse of what he's like, but what we see is terrifying, and our imagination feels the gaps. I'm reading the book again recently - I had forgotten that we actually get to see what the Baron is thinking, and when it happens, he looks almost human, like an executive in an evil corporation - like weighing about his potential successors, ranting about the cost of the war, or fretting over how the Sardaukar may see him as incompetent.
