I just saw this in a shop and having seen David Lynch's Dune hesitated buying it. A question to those who have seen it: is it any good?

I own it on DVD. Worth every penny. It's Absolutely NOTHING like David Lynch's film. I think that the sci fi series is much 'truer' to the spirit of Herbert's written work. The actor that plays Leto II, James McAvoy , is particularly great. He's just how I imagined the God Emperor to be [img]smile.gif[/img] If you have the spare cash then by all means snap the DVD set up. It's great! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

<font color=skyblue>Okay, hold up.
I know that a long time ago, I watched the 1984 version of Dune with Sting as a character in it...but only yesterday did I find out that somebody redid the movie in 2000 and lasted 270+ hours, and so I sat and watched the whole thing beginning last night and ended today... and now you are telling me that there is a sequal to what took me two days to watch? Where?????????????</font>

They made a mini-series out of the original Dune. I think this is the sequel [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I have both miniseries' on DVD, but 270+ hours? 2 days to watch? eh?
Now, I'm assuming Larry meant 270+ minutes, and that he is referring to the sci fi channel miniseries. And if so, then yes, Children of Dune is the sequel to that. [ 08-10-2004, 07:51 AM: Message edited by: The Hierophant ]

Well Larry, if you liked the Dune miniseries (did you?), you'll love Children of Dune. It's just.... better, overall [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the recommendations. Unfortunately I don't have any spare cash this time, but if I do I'll try to find the Dune miniseries too.
