As I thought the new version of 'Dune' was fantastic, and I have read the book 3 times, i went out today and rented the old version.

WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?????

That has to be the most stupid, corny, expensive pieces of crap I have ever seen. Not only was the acting atrocious, the lighting was so bad I could hardly see what was going on half the time.

All this garbage has going for it is a good cast (which is wasted) and good battle scenes (which at times are better than the new ones I have to admit). Otherwise its a 3 hour $50 million mess! Frank Herbert must be spinning in his grave!


Give me new version anyday. (and I am about to start reading 'Dune Messiah' which is one of the 2 Dune novels the new mini is based on)
