Well maybe if the music is as good I'll give it a try.

The original has always seemed overrated to me. Not trying to pull a hipster here, but it really wasn't great. Groundbreaking, sure, but not great. I think he's a better director now than he was back then though. Maybe more in control of his ideas.
That said, Dune is a guilty pleasure.

He butchered Dune.
Except the Baron Harkonnen, that was great.

Of course Baron Harkonnen was great. Patrick Stewart too. The syfy series were more accurate, but kinda dull. At least I felt something about the "My name has become a killing word" stuff.

Blech. Filthy heretic.
The problem with adapting Dune is that it's unadaptable, as was said about it for years. It's a dense series that relies on pages upon pages of the reflecting, introspective thoughts of the main character, which doesn't translate well to film. How does one convey the weight of prescience attained by first Paul and then Leto into a ~2 hour movie without reading? I mean seriously, read the books, try to comprehend the power of the Kwisatz Haderach, and then try to make that into a movie with Sting? I recall that the miniseries was a bit better, but it's been while since I've seen it so I don't remember how good it was.
Instead you're left with something like a bastardization of the Voice to a mere blunt weapon instead of the implication of suggestion and control that it was. It'd be the same for the Foundation series. There's no way you could put to film the mind games that the second Foundation use without reducing it to flashy sorcery.
