If I saw the first Dune in 1984 would it give away anything for Dune 3 today?

It's been decades since I read the book, but it felt like they skipped a ton of shit in this movie. Is that accurate?
Incredible visual movie, but it just felt disjointed from the start. |

I thought they nailed this scene from the original though...

I thought it was fantastic.
I have a few nits to pick, which is standard for most adaptations. I had one major concern:

Felt the first Dune was better and told a better story. I don't have the book to compare it to do I'll leave that to Frazod but this movie felt too much like a set-up. Even knowing there was going to be a part 3, I just didn't feel like the story was moved along well and it wasn't paced right. First one felt slow because they were trying to tell an epic story right. This one felt slow because they knew they had a 3rd movie to do.

Saw this yesterday at the Liberty B&B Screen X. THAT WAS AMAZING. See it that way if possible. The best film I’ve watched in theaters going back 20 years to the LOTR series. It lived up the the hype and then some
What a masterpiece. Wish I had read the source material a long time ago but this film ****ing ruled. Will likely see it again soon |

It's the curse of being old, I guess. I predate Star Wars, and remember what science fiction movies were like before that. Even the ones with good stories had usually special effects you could duplicate by hanging toys from strings and setting them on fire. But at this point, pretty much anything you can imagine can be presented on screen like it's real, and it's been that way for decades now. Younger generations just don't get that, and never will. Especially the ones who never read a book that didn't have pictures in it. |

The book is fantastic, though, and nothing like the movie, outside of fighting bugs (that actually used armor and equipment) and a few of the character names. Another one of my friends hated it because one of the main things in the book was the troops using power armor, and that wasn't in the movie at all. Heinlein must have been spinning in his grave over it. |

I was trying to embed the shower scene from reddit but it kept autoplaying so here is just a link. Definitely NSFW https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenMattePl...r_scene_1080p/
