It's okay if you just finished the book and you want to have some "aha! I remember that!" moments otherwise I don't think it's a very enjoyable movie to watch it hasn't aged well.

My favourite part of the extended cut is when Paul finally gets to see and touch raw, unrefined spice and it looks like cheeto dust.

There's a 3 hour or something extended cut that some nerd made by stitching together bits from all the different cuts and TV edits or whatever. It's a bit janky, but at least it feels like a complete movie. https://yadi.sk/i/kciUCmMSiRhHS

The lesson of Dune is that the way to solve all political problems is jihad, aka a war of racial genocide.

I want a Jackie Chan version of Dune. There is juuuuust enough knife-fighting in it to perfectly bridge that stylistic gap and be believable as both a Jackie Chan movie and a Dune movie.

The end scene could swell into one huge brawl with Shaddam handing out surrogate knives to half the Landsraad.

Imagine the iconic set pieces like worm-mounting, anti-grav suits and thigh pads full of urine and feces to be mined for slapstick comedy.

Roger Ebert gave Dune 1 star out of 4 and wrote, "This movie is a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time."[17]

Roger Ebert was also hella wrong.

Ebert shat on Blade Runner on it's initial release as well, I believe giving it 2 1/2 stars solely on the visuals and crapped all over the plot, but put it in his list of Great Movies and gave the Final Cut four stars before he died.

Even before he got mouth cancer Ebert's greatest love in life was making lovely rice cooker steamed chicken and bagged vegetables in his hotel room. He has no taste. Lynch's Dune is the greatest movie.

Sorry, but Ebert's greatest love in life was the female breast, especially if it was attached to a black woman.

my favorite part about the movie is that the dialogue is cribbed word-for-word from the book

it's a good book but the characters don't talk like people and the movie pretty much proves it

the sets in the movie are so loving good though, rich and amazing set design just doesn't exist like that anymore in this day of good cgi
e: and the costumes are really good too. dune as a book leaves so much to imagination because the universe is so bizarre and fantastic and the movie does a great job of conveying that visually.

They don't talk like people because they are from an insular class of society, it's supposed to sound weird. I recall in the book Dune there is one scene where "regular jackoffs" have some dialog, I think it's foot soldiers disembarking from the Highliner. Their dialog sounds a lot more natural.

Someone please make a phone app that makes the emperors throne room noise for when I have to rush to get pants on after buzzing up the pizza guy to my apartment.

And have it randomly play the high keen soundtrack notes whenever it detects someone motionless and whispering via the microphone and accelerometer.

yeah dog i get that. but when the words are written out it's easier to parse. it's still a long rear end movie filled with jilted and terrible dialogue. books are a different medium from film and when you're adapting a book it's ok to change the dialogue so it sounds more pleasing to the ear.
