Very true. I saw it in the theater when it came out. I had read the book so I enjoyed it, but they actually handed out a printed paper telling people who all the characters were and I don't think most still understood it.
There were some major deviations from the book in the movie (I don't think the weirding modules were in the book, were they?), but overall I thought Lynch did a great job with the look and feel of it, really capturing the weirdness of the novel.
The later books kind of lost me, after the original Dune novel. I was pretty good until God Emperor but it just got too dense and incomprehensible for me after that. Maybe I'll try again sometime.
