Title: A Better Renditioning...But Not All There
Review: Well, I must say, John Harrison did a damn fine job of revamping the great novel, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I was ashamed at some of the horrible costumes. (No person in their right mind would be afraid of the Sardaukar in Harrison's version...and the stillsuits didn't even look like they worked).The Baron was a much better one than Lynch's version. He wasn't just disgusting, he was someone you could hate so easily because of his character. The Emperor was much more powerful than the original, and very well cast. Princess Irulan was well cast as well, and her character was a bit more in the open than in the book.Now...some of the sets looked cheesy, but it was a TV mini-series. You can't expect a big-budget kind of set from a mini-series, less its directed by James Cameron. The score was quite similar to Toto's original score, but there are no problems there.And that's that.
Is the review positive or negative?
