The problem I found with Dune was that I saw it very soon after reading the book. There are many layers of mysticism and complex ideas in the plot and I felt that the film glossed over them or simplified many of them, much to the detriment of the film. Having said that, it was still quite enjoyable and I feel had I not read the book, I would have enjoyed it a whole lot more.
By the way, as shown in Dune and confirmed in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Sting may be able to warble up a decent tune but he sure as hell can't act.
