As much as I love Denis Villeneuve, I still love David Lynch's Dune more. Yes, the acting is spotty, and there were more than a few questionable changes to the plot, but I can't get that art direction out of my mind. That being said, I haven't seen part two yet.
I respect this opinion. I just read the original Dune a few years ago. I heard there was a new film coming, so in preparation I watched the Lynch extended cut. It wasn't bad, in fact it followed the plot better than I expected, and the Gob Jabbar scene was amazing. The shields had such a cool effect too. But I didn't totally love it. Maybe this cut was too long and stiff. I do kinda like Lynch in general, I've seen Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet and all of Twin Peaks. His Dune was overall good in his unique bizarre way. I'll probably watch it again someday.
But then, the Villeneuve film. Damn, that one nailed it. The characters, set design, the sandworms, even the ornithopters looked almost exactly like I had imagined when reading the book. I've never had that happen, most films look so 'wrong' after a book. But IMO Denis nailed it, except the Gom Jabbar that Lynch already perfected. It was otherwise so true to the source material. Well ok, Frank Herbert's novel had an excessive use of the word presently, so honestly, good riddance to that. Anyway, I can't wait for part 2 of the new film and beyond! Guess I better pick up the other books though.
