Negative Positive
Title: Yawn.
Review: Everyone says Dune is VISUALLY IMPRESSIVE, but it isn't! The film quality, the silly costumes, the special effects and the sets all make it look like it was made in the 1940s...never mind 1984. I'm sure the characters' constant inner monologues worked in the book, but they just look stupid on film. The plot is confusing. Heck, the only aspect that impressed me were the giant worms, but even they were too slow to stun audiences. It's difficult to keep a straight face when watching it, because there are many characters who have laughably fake hair and moustaches. On the whole, silly, overlong and drab. Even though I haven't read the book, I'm sure it's better than this. I mean this was made AFTER Star Wars, you'd expect it to look reasonably good!
