Opinions on David Lynch's 'Dune' are sharply divided.

Others find the movie confusing, overly long, and difficult to follow, criticizing its pacing and narrative structure. The film's distinct aesthetic and the performances, particularly by iconic characters, are highlights for some, while others struggle with its execution and deviation from the source material.
