Dune is a little polarizing, but I liked it. Herbert himself even approved. I concede that the ambition of the movie was almost limitless and couldn't help to fail to realize it, but that's what you get with Lynch - he's not going to set the bar at "Let's make the best B minus Dune film we can." - he's going to swing for the fences, every time.
