This was horrible acting.budget had nothing to do with it.

I realize the shortcomings of this movie...but u have to realize it was made in the 1980s and obviously not with the budget that could have been gotten if it was made today. But what stands out to me is the acting...the guy who played Paul in the 2000 movie is just far inferior to Kyle mclachlan. I bet if the makers of this movie had the money, they would have spent more time making it truer to the book. While I like the 2000 film for the depth of story, this one is just far more entertaining.

@snakevillefilms Yes, but tons of inner monologues can be found in just about every novel. Books are about telling, films are about showing. To quote Lynch (from the book "Lynch on Lynch"): "It was added on to nail things that they thought people wouldn't understand, It can be a beautiful thing - to hear thinking. It's a nifty thing, but when it's just for information, you smell a rat."

@Trademarc1977 correct me if i am wrong, but quite a lot of the book Dune was actually inner monologues?

The problem with this movie, is half of it is well done and sober like Lynch's Elephant Man. The other half is marred by making the Harkonen's into silly and grotesque comic-book villains surrounded by goofy looking sets and props.
Barron Harkonen should have been made sardonic and sly, vastly intelligent and calculating. A chilling evil like Longshanks in Braveheart or the Star Wars Emperor. And likewise Rabban Harkonnen should have been more like Darth Vader minus face mask. Nero & Caligula

@killerbee2k Haven't you heard of Eraserhead?

David Lynch's "Dune" differs from the book. That's why many people criticize it but I don't agree. The whole movie was very well done, visual effects were great for that time and the acting was brilliant. Kyle MacLachlan and Francesca Annis were stunning

0:02 My name is David Lynch. Give me 100,000 dollars and wire it to a bank account under the name Alan Smithee or else the hostages get it!

Awesome Jack Nance and David Lynch were friends, I didnt know that. Thanks for upload
Saw this in a theatre when it came out and was amazed and moved at age 15, I had no trouble with the story and it made me read the books. Dune is not for everyone, the common man wants simple fare, but those of us who can think beyond Transformers type explosions can see this films value.
