i thought they were trying to stage a kind of 'star wars' set in the desert. They are probably planning for several sequels, that's why they had to stretch it a bit.... (at least the worms were fun)

They've not really stretched it at all, Dune is a long dense book, and to try and do it justice in a single film would result in a confused mess. Just look at the David Lynch version, which even as a huge fan of the book I can't even begin to follow.

What Lynch did very well was the feeling of 'old and decadent' for the society everyone lived in.
