I was only a child when I first saw this so the story was not as important to me as the action. Later I realized the story was what made the movie. I wish they made a sequal following the book... Full review

I read the first 456 pages of the Dune novel so far and this movie was not even close to the novel. Some of the dialogue was used from the book which was ok. What's with the weirding module anyway? The... Full review

Different than anything you have seen in sci-fi before. It's roots go back before Shakespeare actually. David Lynch is into Transcendental Meditation now. His movie suggests that we all have within us the power to evolve into a new type of... Full review

This movie is a total piece of garbage. The only movie that might be in its league in terms of crappiness is Dreamcatcher. But Dune is still King. What a mess!!!!!!!!... Full review

Bereft of that Smithee cut but still retaining the extras, the film enjoys new life in high definition....Although primitive in comparison to the special effects used today, the visual construction of the film is amazing and expansive....indeed, actually a worthwhile film that was perhaps underappreciated thanks to its initial failure at the box office.....Currently, the film enjoys a 62 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.....What remains interesting, however, is who is really responsible for the film' ...

though it was a Wednesday afternoon episode of "General Hospital," "Dune" is fiercely entertaining, downright gorgeous filmmaking....The central complaint of "Dune" is....I personally adore the picture, happily ingesting Lynch's strange brew of blockbuster sci-fi adventure and intimate psychology, no matter how nutty the picture becomes.....he couldn't possibly fit the book's excessive plotting into a single feature film.....Using sorely missed special effect techniques (including miniatures and puppetry), ...
