    I read it, it was ok, and that was it.

There are some fun themes in there and I appreciate that it begins as a somewhat typical "hero's journey" tale and then turns that whole idea inside out. I like the intrigue and plotting and how various factions are always plotting several steps ahead.

But none of that is why I absolutely love Dune (the novel). For me it just has this vibe that I've never been able to explain.

Maybe that's why I like it: because I can't even figure out why I like it.

Anyway, that's all crazy subjective and I can easily see why many are not enchanted by it.
