I read the book for the first time about a year back and its one of the greatest things I have ever read. I had seen the movie when i was very young and had continually heard many good things about it so i tracked it down. I was so bloody disapointed I couldnt even finish it =( x

I think it's mostly a miss. There are some good moments and visuals, but overall it's a long mess. I love David Lynch. I take it some of the problem was conflicts between the producers and Lynch.

Nowadays it would have been done as a trilogy.

Only good thing about the opening where Princess speaks directly to the audience is Virginia Madsen was very pretty. I didn't find much nice or spectacular to look at. It was quite ugly. Usual David Lynch disturbing, weird stuff, like the floating creep spitting in a the tied down woman's face.
I did like one thing. Patrick Stewart yelling "ATOMICS!"

I love lots of things about this movie, especially the music, the production design and the dialogue. There are so many great dramatic and memorable lines. I think this is a movie that works better the more you watch it. Like the first time you're all well that was confusing and incoherent. But eventually you see it enough that it becomes a part of you and you're all "MOOD IS A THING FOR CATTLE AND LOVEPLAY!"

Nowadays it would have been done as a trilogy. Someone get Peter Jackson on the phone...there's easy money to be made! Oh..and it would no longer be watching a film, it would be an actual "experience". They would pump the "spice" aroma into the theater while you wore your 3D glasses watching the movie at 72 frames per second as your seat gyrated all over the place as you were "riding the sandworm". In all honesty, it may have been a good idea to make it a 2 parter at least, since there's so much information there. As much as I love David Lynch, I can't defend this movie. It's seemingly dull and disorganized. The monologue at the beginning of the movie still doesn't do much to simmer your confusion over what's going on. It's not horrible, but with who was heading it, it should have been a lot better. Then again, David Lynch is hit or miss. The one good thing that came out of this was Lynch went to work trying to wash the Dune stench off him with another movie, a little movie called Blue Velvet...which kicked all sorts of ass. One of my top 5 favorite movies ever...hell, we should be talking about that!
