I thought it better than the 1985 one. It’s different from the book and really seems designed for someone who hasn’t read it. The casting was just so-so. Very fast paced. I enjoyed it, but I can see why some people wouldn’t. I like that they made the Baron very dark and non-gay, he seems much more threatening, rather than campy like the other movie. Worth seeing, but then I like science fiction. I do think they made Paul much too old, he’s supposed to be a young teen; trained by martial arts masters and mentats, but still a kid you wouldn’t bet on surviving the attack. Blew it with Lady Jessica, sniveling, frightened.
What did you think of the TV series (2000-ish) - the one with John Hurt as the Duke?
