    As a fan of both the book and the movie, I think there are different groups of people who didn’t like it:

    • The general audience that are used to instant gratification and explosions. These people will obviously find the world building and slow burn pacing boring.

    • The more open-minded non-book reader audience who can appreciate a movie like Dune but just simply found it hard to understand all the new lore and world building crammed into a 2.5 hour movie.

    • A similar group as the previous one, but who understood the plot, and found it lacking or bad, or just didn’t like the execution.

    • Dune fans who didn’t like it. We have to accept that while the film is amazing, it does have its flaws. I guess some fans found the flaws outweigh the good parts.
