Title: falling short
Review: Having recently seen the Lynch movie and having reread the books after some years, I looked forward to this series as the film tried valliantly but fell short. I hoped with modern digital effects and a longer play time maybe this could be better.Sadly NO while the sets and backdrops are very good indeed and capture the feeling of the books very well 8 out of 10 that's were it ends.The script is hopeless I don't expect verbatum from the novels but some point of contact would be appreciated 1 out of 10.Now to the acting Hurt very good, but for the rest third rate would be complementary. But what really saddens is the portrayl of Muad'Dib as a spoilt tempremental American teenager with no self controll the opposite of what he is supposed to be I gave up on the DVD after struggling for an hour and will not be going back.
Is the review positive or negative?
