A lot of people are whining about missing stuff there is actually in the loving movie. It's usually people that gives it bad reviews which should tell a lot.

They could have done the dinner scene but just had everyone milling around mixing instead of sitting at a table, then you could have all of that be spoken dialogue between characters as they pass by or whatever.

I gotta be honest. I brought in a half pint of whiskey and drank it pretty fast and every time I took a pull I had a big gulp of coke with it so consequently I had to take a BIG piss during the last 30 minutes so I’m pretty mad about the 5 minutes I missed and will be giving this movie a 2.5 out of 5 stars.

I've always assumed that the various other planets/groups who the Bene Gesserit had seeded with their prophecies would side with the Fremen, although I dunno if that's reflected in the books.

They definitely faced a great deal of resistance:

"Statistics: at a conservative estimate, I've killed sixty-one billion, sterilized ninety planets, completely demoralized five hundred others. I've wiped out the followers of forty religions..."

Speaking of mentats, I liked that little bit where when the mentats are doing calculations their eyes roll back. Or was that supposed to be like the lens that goes over a crocodile’s eyes when they go underwater?

I really liked that but they only do it once which if I was a non-book reader would make me think he just had the numbers on hand.

Sopranos is practically a comedy and there's nothing funny in the entire flick. Can't imagine how bad an entire prequel series would be.

Ah yes like the Baron, Trump was famously keen on meeting his enemies face to face and using cunning and complex planning to outwit them.

Like, Trump is easily one of the dumbest humans on planet earth. The baron is not very Trumpy.

Anyone can dislike the movie for whatever reason but there's a few recurring whiners that I find hard to take seriously:

1. People upset that things they like from the books aren't in the movie, but that are phrasing it as "I am concerned that non-book readers won't understand what is happening." As you said, plenty of these things are in the movie. They just want more of it, for its own sake. Not really a movie criticism.
2. People who just want Dune to be a carnival of weirdness.
3. People complaining that it's "cold." Not unfounded, but extremely predictable and at this point it just means "I don't like Vileneuve or Nolan movies." Which, hey, fair enough. You knew what you were getting into watching this Denis Vileneuve movie.

I guess maybe there just isn't enough space in a movie adaptation of dune for a depiction of the baron that doesn't have to resort to "loooooves disgusting fluids" to convey that he's a bad guy. There's a reason people go to bat for the miniseries version despite, well, it being the dune miniseries

Setting aside whether the Baron Harkonnen is or should be portrayed as a Trumpy queen (lol), the comparison to the Emperor in Star Wars is absurd. The actual antagonist in Star Wars is Darth Vader. Imagine George Lucas watching the rough cut of a A New Hope and thinking "this isn't working. Darth Vader needs to be a lot more fun and gay."

When they film Dune Messiah the Baron's ghost/possession scenes will just be those recorded phone calls of "Hi this is John Baron I just wanted to say as Mr. Trump's Baron Harkonnen's spokesperson that people are saying he is just absolutely great, huge hands and everyone loves him"
