Lynch's was still my favorite version of Dune despite flaws.

Yep, no contest. Compared to the sterile, boring, brooding Villeneuve version - a tone that worked well in Blade Runner 2049 however - it's so much more entertaining and interesting.

I liked the first one from Villeneuve because for the most part it stuck to the story but the second one veered off into its own story.

I know its nerdy but I absolutely hate when movies of classic books think the story needs to be changed (I'm looking at you, Peter Jackson).

Good adaptation is inherently transformative, despite nerd disgruntlement.

Perhaps in a few years AI will have progressed to the point people can spin up their own literal version and see this for themselves.
