David Lynch's Dune is cool. It’s got great costumes, some really good sets, a lot of really excellent casting choices such as Silvana Mangano as the reverend mother, Francesca Annis as the lady Jessica and Jürgen Prochnow as Duke Leto, but the movie falls short when it comes to pacing in the second half, and also relies on expository voiceovers throughout much of it. I know some people don’t mind the voiceovers as much but, personally, I think that the way it's done in David Lynch’s Dune breaks up the narrative flow of the movie. But let’s get down to my real issue with the movie, and that is that Lynch’s Dune does not accurately enough reflect the themes, philosophies, and ideas of Frank Herbert’s book. David Lynch’s Dune casually glosses over many of the nuances of Frank Herbert's book and presents a more trivialized version of several of the book's concepts.
