I watched the "original" Dune when I was a kid, and watched the "original" Star Wars at roughly the same time, and I thought Star Wars was way better, way more fun. But after all these years and all the Star Wars garbage they put out during this time, I find this Dune more sophisticated and smooth, and overall, much more enjoyable to watch. Being the first half of a two-part story, this one will leave you hanging at the end so be prepared for that.
