The movie sucked.  Except for budget it was a B movie, on a par with
Superman III.   I could go on for hours about all the thing wrong, but
suffice to say you are luckier than me if you miss this one.

The only thing worth it is the special effects, in particular some of
the sandworm scenes.

Characterization is nil mostly and pointless where it exists.  Even
good actors like Linda Hunt are in terrible roles.   Sting is on camera
for a few minutes, and his role is pointless.   Major characters from
the book are brought in for no other reason than to see them, and they
usually don't get more than 3 lines.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS FILM.
