It's been a while since I've read the series, but I don't recall feeling the same excitement with the successive novels as I did with the first. I did read all 6 of them, but honestly by the time I started God Emperor I felt as though the storyline was getting a little too off base.

Regarding the Dune movie, it's what got me into the books, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As with 90% of adaptations, there is no way for a film to capture the nuances of the source, doubly so for a book such as Dune
