How does the Dune mini- compare with the movie? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Tabitha · 12th June 2002, 07:23 PM

I really enjoyed the Dune mini-series, it felt very close to the book. And while I did like the 1984 movie (medium to big David Lynch fan here), you can't really say that it was very true to Frank Herbert's original ideas.

Any thoughts, comments?

The movie was way better than the series just due to the fact of the actors in it and the story line which was used.

I thought the mini series was better than the film, it covered a heck of a lot more in terms of story and also had the right feel to it. The only bone of contention I had with the series was the actor who played Gurney Halleck.

He looked like a Halleck.

He walked like a Haleck.

He spoke like a complete goit.

The guy really couldn't handle some of the more well spoken lines which kinda detracted from the more dramatic scenes. But that was only a very small blemish on what I thought was a fine production all round

Sorry

I will have to go with the original 1984 movie.

The mini series was great, don't get me wrong, they covered more of the story.

True PH Moriarty did not hold a light to Patrick Stewart playing Gurney Halleck IMHO.

Call me a old timer

Well, I vote for the mini because thanks to it is that I discover the saga. Is that the movie where Sting was or is other movie?
