Don't stop there, there's an earlier movie, too.

I read the book before I saw the old movie, I have never been more disappointed in a movie. The Fremen got done so dirty in that movie, Paul comes in and teaches them how to free themselves in typical white saviour nonsense. In the book the Fremen are warriors that Paul manipulates and uses as a weapon to fulfil the golden path.

Sure, but that's no reason not to watch it.

Sure, if you are a sane rational person, but if you are a pedantic nutter like me you will rage at the screen for years about it.

I definitely want to watch the first version of the movie too. Its amazing to visualize the different interpretation of the same book.

Frank Herbert actually worked as a consultant on that movie.
