Ranking the Dune Adaptations

The Dune book series adaptation must be so incredibly tempting and for so many reasons. A space opera series that will eventually build to the hero becoming an oppressive dictator? Who could want anything more? After going back through every Dune adaptation (that has happened so far), I think I can safely conclude that some books are just not meant to be adapted into movies or television shows.

Paul Schrader is one of the most interesting and talented auteurs since the 70s. Despite having a clear style, a prolific filmography, and a long record of great works over six decades, he somehow has missed out on the accolades and the financial success that many of his peers have experienced. First Reformed and a morbidly hilarious Facebook account have given him increased success and notoriety in the last chapter of his career.
