Title: look to lynch
Review: I found this interpretation of Frank Herbert's Dune novel insulting. If you haven't read the book, I recommend watching David Lynch's version of the movie. Lynch's version envisions the personalities involved with a vigor that the TV series lacks entirely. The TV series has Paul, the hero, as a whining non-participating member of the plot, almost like his arm is being twisted to embark on this universe-changing story. The acting was flat almost all around. I was sorry to see William Hurt in this as I find him to be a good actor, but nothing he could have done would have saved this haphazard attempt to recreate Frank Herbert's brilliance. Again I recommend Lynch's interpretation. It's a bit bizarre in places but reflects well upon the book. Of course if you haven't done so, read the book and you'll know.
