I’ve loved the Dune movies, but they really tone down the philosophy and leadership wisdom that Frank Herbert expertly wove into the books. They make me want to be a better leader, and a better person.

Tbh I have no idea how they could have done a better job. The books are so dense and there is just so much there. IMO both films so far have been fantastic and I’ve just finished reading the last book in the dune series few weeks ago so they are pretty fresh in my mind

I so agree with this and have found same with contemporary Star Trek takes that miss Gene Rodenberry’s ethics

Agree, but I think it's just different media. The first Dune audiobook lasts ~20 hours. A film needs to tell the story a different way. Imagine if in the middle of a movie you have a 5' scene in which characters start having a deep discussion about ecology. Wouldn't work!

I agree! I felt like the second movie "lost the plot" a bit. Seemed to focus more on the action, which was badass, but you miss some of the subtleties from the book. Either way, I want to reread the book
