I'm sort of ambivalent toward the Dune movie. I did like Kyle MacLachlan as Paul Atreides, and I liked the creepiness of his little sister, but the way the movie's done as a whole is kind of lame. I only read the first novel, but I did like it. I probably liked it more just because it was fun to see a lot of ideas that Robert Jordan borrowed for his Wheel of Time series. I think there's a lot to like about the world Frank Herbert created.
