Title: Dune Dumbed Down
Review: This is Dune at the dinner party; all glitzy and chintzy and hopelessly soulless.Like hitting the assistant with the arrow instead of the apple, this version of Dune misses its mark fatally with too frequent talking head scenes, laughably kooky krazy klothes, restrained (inexperienced) acting, so-so CGI, no energy or *Oomph* whatsoever and dialog right up there with Saturday morning cartoons.The sandworms were cool.Fans who've actually read the series will gape, appalled, at the liberal use of added "fluff" scenes and moronic dialog to replace events and concepts that are "too difficult for the television audience to understand." This is the kind of patronization that keeps television productions in general out of the big leagues in the public perception.Well, at least the sandworms were cool.Herbert isn't rolling in his grave. He's coming back to life to strangle the writers of this God awful miniseries.Did I mention how cool the sandworms were?
