Negative Positive
Title: Battlefield Dune
Review: OK, the title for this review isn't fair. I shouldn't insult Battlefield Earth like that. While they got a few things right - the look of the Navigator, the initial sandworm sequence - this series is a plodding, soul-less mess. Why is this book so hard to adapt? They had SIX HOURS to tell the story. Why did they leave so much out and add so much that had nothing to do with anything? Why did they make Paul so whiny and annoying? Why did William Hurt stumble around like he was on tranquilizers? Why were the Fremen running around outside during the day without stillsuits (Paul and Chani have a PICNIC outside without suits on!)? How the Fremen remain masters of stealth with eyes that glow in the dark? Why did the Baron have to rhyme his last line before every commercial break? Why did Feyd have a glowing white tortilla sticking out of his back? And just who is responsible for all those goofy hats? I could go on, but why bother. Don't even rent this one. Just read the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
