Both the original 1980s movie and the two current movies certainly miss a lot of the subtleties and nuance that is described in the books. I would again highly encourage you to read them if you have not already…
One thing I really like about the current DV movies is that they do not depict a simple world of black-and-white good versus evil, something that was very important to Herbert. It's much more complex than that and so far I think DV has done a good job of creating that tension. Will be super interesting to see what he does in the 3rd film.
