I liked “Dune”, in fact really liked it.
I have noticed that every person who told me it was no good had read the book. I never did.
I saw the movie before the reading the book. Dune, the book, is fantastic, really top notch. The movie is okay. They don’t really have much to do with each other.
I loved “Dune”. Still do.
Loved the book also.
I read the book Dune, enjoyed the movie but you should really check out the SciFi TV mini-series Dune and Children of Dune. They followed the books pretty well and it’s much better than the movie (6 hours for each mini-series to flesh out the stories instead of 2 hours for a two 300 page novels)
