content: This movie is like reading the first chapter and then a bulleted outline of the rest of the novel.It begins okay, building up Paul and his supporting crew, but about half-way through Lynch kicks it into high gear and we see this one hour montage of highlights with music from Toto. By the time the credits were rolling, I was cringing at this tumbling stack of cards.Go grab the miniseries; it does twice as much with a third of the budget. They actually bothered to show his transformation into Mau'Dib.Also, if you decide to watch this film, please pay attention when they roll out the alien in to the emperor's chambers and a guy on the left side trips and falls...hilarious.
