IT get's dumped on, for being one of the worse movies of all time, but to be honest, I have seen awhole lot worse.

I really liked the soundtrack, the effects, and the over the top acting, in the movie.

Ugh. How to take a very good novel and turn it into a piece of boring, self-indulgent garbage. UPDATE: The preceding comment refers to the 1984 version. The more recent version is about 2 to 3 stars. Just mediocre.

Great take on the Book from both Dune movies. I really liked the first Dune better than the second even though I bought the New Dune CD from Target. Dune is an involved novel that was presented well in the 1984 movie. The newer remake had a different look and had more time to play out. It was good in it's own way, covered more of what was in the book. Sci-Fi's Children of Dune was very good as well.

There are two Dunes. The 1984 with Kyle MacLachlan and Sting, of all people. it was really bad! In fact is was so opaque that a narrator would break in at the beginning to tell us what is going on. The 2000 Sci-Fi Channel with William Hurt was much better and I balance both out to 2.5 stars rounded to three.
