Film doesn't really have dynamic range either. It's not possible. Now, digital HDR can produce some fantastic dynamic range. I'm not talking about the over saturated images.

EDIT: I did find this:

Negative film has much better dynamic, than slide film. You will find, that negatives, correctly exposed and developped, can have up to 12 f-stops dynamic range, wheras slide film usually only sports around 8-9 f-stops, which is the app. range most current DSLRs will also cover.
A proper HDR will put film to shame.
