the first time I saw it...I had a puzzled look on my face when it was over...then I saw it the second, and third times...and I loved it.

the premise is awesome, I loved Kyle MacLachlan in a role which perfectly fitted him (saw him in "The Hidden" where he wasnt casted right)...Lynch's direction is superb, one of the very few sci-fi adventures which left a lasting impression on me.

This was the only movie which made me want to read the books after I saw it...I remember running to the bookstore to look for em but didnt find many parts of the series, cept the original and pt.3, which I still got today.

I managed to get my hands on the game though. It was really cool, visually stunning, and tough as hell to play.

I read somewhere that Peter Jackson was gonna remake it once he finished the LOTR series and King Kong...dunno where that one went...but it would be great if Dune had the Jackson touch...

A true sci-fi classic.

i could definately handle a jackson remake of dune ..

he wont have the edgy insanity of Lynch, but the worm effects could use some updating ...

If your gonna watch up, check the original Lynch version and not the Directors cut, special edition. Alan Smithee rides again. Lynch said bollocks to that and had his name struck from the credits.

It's longer, boring and totally pointless (Not to mention in MONO!)

da vinci code doesnt have a lot going for it .. and the amout of dialogue isnt the biggest problem .. its the lack of pacing and passion. the performances are too controlled and plodding ..

my dinner with andre is 2 hours of a dinner conversation between 2 people.. its one of my favorite movies - i think it's fascinating...
da vinci code is just dull in every sense of the word..
