I think the author never read Frank Herbert's book, but only saw the movie. Most people who hate the movie have never read the book.

The writer just finished a reread of the first book. The link to the series of articles is literally right at the top of the page above the title. And there were a number of fans of the books who hated the movie when it came out in 1984. It's an interesting take, or we wouldn't be talking about it still, but kind of divisive and not a great adaptation of the novel IMO.
