Two parts makes a lot more sense. The first movie ran too long, and tried to cram too much information into what was actually a limited space. It only made sense to those who had already read the book.
There was a three part miniseries on SyFy that I thought got decent reviews but I haven't seen it. Maybe something to stream (when I'm watching The Magicians, True Blood or Bat Woman, all pandemic finds for me.)

The SyFy series has some divisive reviews. And the CGI is terrible and doesn't age very well (from the clips I've seen). I haven't seen the series.
I didn't mind it (or the CGI). But I may be easy to please.
One thing I would suggest is getting the extended director's cut of the SyFy series. It is superior to the standard version.
SyFy did a Children of Dune series as well.

The fan edit Dune: Alternative Edition Redux takes the added scenes from the horrendous TV movie, deleted outtake scenes available as bonus features on DVDs, and bootleg deleted outtake scenes, and adds them all to the movie in the proper order.
The result is a three hour movie that is much more comprehensible.
I strongly recommend this fan edit for any Dune fan. It's a true masterpiece.

Who else is excited for this, the second cinematic attempt at Frank Herbert's legendary series, Dune.?
I'm going to see it of course. But for me the best Dune will always be Spicediver's Alternative Version Redux fan edit.
