Title: I was thinking zero stars but...
Review: I remember reading Dune when I was a teenager and being blown away by it. I instantly ran out and rented the movie and boy did it suck. Now here I am 20 years later and I thought maybe this extended edition would be better. Maybe the years that have passed will be much kinder to this version...nope, still sucked. I read a lot of reviews on here about David Lynch legacy garbage...I could care less about the director, Santa Claus could have directed it for all I care as long as it's faithful to the novel. This didn't accomplish it. Don't even get me started on "Toto" doing the music. I expected them to break out with "Africa" at any moment. An epic story deserves an epic soundtrack. And Sting....ug...nuff said. Thank God Lord Of The Rings learned from the failure of movies such as this. If you want to see a fairly faithful copy of Dune, rent the Mini-series from Sci-Fi. Not great but it's the closest to Dune "story wise" out there.
Is the review positive or negative?
