I wonder how many people liked the movie? In my humble, naive opinion, to say that it didn't do the book justice may be the understatement of the Millenium. Let's just say that if Herbert was dead, we just might hear subterranean vibrations (like turning). In fact, when the movie started, everybody clapped REAL LOUD. But the giggling started 1 minute into the movie when Princess Irulan said all those profound things. The thing that really cracked everybody up was Paul repeating over and over : "Dune, Desert planet... Spice, sandworm". It was only at the end, when Paul Muad'ib captured the emperor, etc. that we really realize how much the audience enjoyed the movie (REALLY). Paul said that his battle was fought in the name of Justice. Then, Feyd Rautha (Sting) said,"Justice" (say it with sarcasm). Almost everyone clapped. I almost did too. It was the most disappointing night in my life. (Maybe my hopes were too high.)
