Its very difficult to get that all out in a 2.5 or even two 2.5 hour movies. Things you dont understand:Harkonen has been enemies with the Atredies for a long time. The growing influence of Leto finally hit the Emperor's radar so he decided to help set a trap.  The Fremen are like an occupied people. Some help, others dont. They have a prophesy about an off worlder that will save them. They think it might be Paul.Yes, the fight with Stilger's people and death duel are in the book.Brolin's character Gurney was lost in the fog of war. Maybe he is still alive?Momoa was Duncan Idaho. A certain ranking member and trusted advisor to house Atredies. Things you dont like:The shields repel any fast moving object like a bullet or laser. You have to move in slowly to penetrate the shield. The darts seek their target and then slowly penetrate.The stil suit use was a bit inconsistent. In the main city its need is not great. Out in the desert it is crucial. Worms are just territorial and seek out disturbances its not about food.The politics the director and writers decided to forgo explain the betrayals and war.</blockquote>
