Not just dull, but even confusing at times because it was too minimal at parts. The actual importance of spice and its qualities is only briefly touched upon, and I think the Bene Gesserit's political importance and their long-term planning and meddling was a little too underplayed. Those are pretty important elements driving the story.

Agreed - thus one can argue that the movie is aimed at people who have read the book. Without the background knowledge provided by the book, the film is in a limbo of much ado about nothing.
