You aren't alone in your feelings towards Dune. There's a reason I followed that one up with 'to me'

For the most part, I don't think that Asimov's material works well in the movies. There are a whole slew of movies where the best way to put it is "suggested by ...." rather than "from ..."

The best Asimov film adaptation I've seen is Bicentennial Man. That's another divisive movie, but I felt like it captured the feel of his stories (or at least didn't smash the Three Laws beyond repair).
