IMHO The 84 film is million times better than the (poor) miniseries, but everyone has his likes and dislikes ...
EDIT: The books went from great to not bad to bleh to WTF ...
Well, my dislikes of the 84 film were:
1) Pizza-face Wladimir Harkonnen (He may be ugly, he is evil, but he ISN'T uncultivated)
2) Paul Muad'Dib the rainmaker(I don't think I have to explain this
3) The Weirding Way (this is as important to the Dune Universe as light sabers to the Star Wars Universe) becomes a device.
4) A story cut to two hours that needs at least the three hours that David Lynch originally planned.
The miniseries tried a lot harder to be faithful to the original. Not that they didn't change anything, but they didn't violate the spirit of the original.
But certainly my likes and dislikes would differ if my entry to the Dune universe hadn't been the miniseries.
