What did you think about the appallingly bad movie?
The sci-fi channel did a better version of Dune but it would take a big budget and an inspired director to do the book justice. But it can be done; I thought that the final movie of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was better than the book. “I bid you stand Men of the West” . . . even the writing was as good as Tolkien’s, imho.
I was personally disapointed in the movie, the mini series was good.
Because of the epic nature of Dune a 2+ hour movie simply could not do it justic. Plus the voice over being nessessary to carry the story is weak script writing.
There are movies where voice over works, ie “Blade Runner” where it adds not explains where a good script should do the work!!
