I am probably going to be in the minority here but DUNE is not all what I expected it to be
I specially waited for part two to be released before watching Dune
There are several movies I have fallen asleep in
2001 a Space ODYSSEY
Murder on the Orient Express
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Dune part one has come very close to it
It's very long
Very drawn out
Slow
Overwhelmed by unnecessary well over the top settings of buildings
Too much slow motion movement
Confusing at times
A very lose drawn out movie that could have been compressed into two hours very comfortably if all the overblown junk was removed I see many commentators feel the same as I do about all of the above
I saw the Origional Dune. In the 70s and didn't have a clue as to w hat it was about so went home and read the book then went back to watch the movie
It made better sense and and I enjoyed the book as well
I then saw the Dune mini series and enjoyed that as well
Please don't get me wrong
Dune part one is not a bad show
It is just over bloated in so many ways that is off putting
The story is the same
It's dark
Forboding and interesting all at the same time.
Had I not been exposed to the previous two versions I would not know what was going on The acting was good but very drawn out It does follow the Origional story line but I belive several major characters were dropped from this film part 1 & 2 Feyd and Paul's sister Will be interesting how they handle the final fight with Paul and Feyed as I be,I've he was not included in the move at all Gratifying is they did did not make baron Harkonon as they did in the Origional version Please don't get me wrong The movie is very interesting and the characters have been well defined and at places dramatic and exciting I haven't watched part two yet am am looking forward to watching it On a rewatch schedule Sorry based on this part I would rather watch Dune 75 Even though at places it's not nice (Harkonon) and the mini series rather than rewatch a 2,5 hours show that is boring and over long.
