The best things about the Sci-Fi "Dune" series, imo, were the Baron Harkonnen himself (excellent portrayal) and the fight between Paul & Feyd at the end, it was superbly choreographed and looked incredibly dangerous. Their Alia was really good, too.
I never had a major problem with the weirding modules, I thought they were neat, but they were just newer versions of the Klingon disruptor. I understand Lynch's reasoning for using them at that time and I don't discredit him for doing it. But if a new version were ever made they're going to have to figure out precisely what the "weirding way" actually is. I know it's some form of advanced martial art using knives and swords but it just needs to be clearly defined in the context of a film and how that way would be used to combat a fighting force that uses projectile weapons and lazguns. Could really be epic if done right, though.
Oh, and I second everyone's admiration of the Lynch stillsuit designs, I've always been impressed with them.
