Title: Misunderstood masterpiece
Review: I read the Dune novels a long time ago and have been a moderate fan of Frank Herbert since. However I never watched the movie cause I kept hearing and reading it was awful. On a whim I bought it on DVD last year and was very surprised to find a genuinely brilliant movie. It has a sweeping epic feel reminiscent of Lawrence of Arabia but with a lynchian character of its own. If watched with an open mind (and preferably with a projector an a large screen) this movie will reward you. Having watched the recent awfully childish, stupid and very boring TV series adapted from Dune makes me appreciate this movie even more.
