The Lynch movie is visually beautiful, but sorely lacking in content and coherence. Crucial content like the Harkonnnen dinner scene had to be left out. Not even David Lynch could cram that large a story into the run-time of a movie. The miniseries may have been amateurish in comparison to the film, but it was the only form with time to tell the whole story.

Those weirding modules were horrible. Also, the mentats' eyebrows looked like squirrel tails. I will never understand why people have to represent the future by making people bald. I could probably write a whole thread on this subject. I'm not totally discounting David Lynch's version, I'm saying that just because he directs something, does not automatically make it a masterpiece.
