Dune is a 1984 David Lynch adaptation of the Frank Herbert science fiction novel. Linda Hunt, Jose Ferrar, Patrick Stewart, Sting, Dean Stockwell, and Max von Sydow are in this one. I watched it on HBO MAX, having seen it before years ago. This is a deeply flawed adaptation, and I can't recommend it, but I watched it with a family member who liked the book but hadn't seen this film.

I've never read Dune, but I think Mr Man has. I know he hasn't seen this adaptation of it & you would think with so many "stars" it would have had better reviews.
ReplyDeleteThe casting is "off" imo, and it just has so many other problems.
Delete...yet another that I missed.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't missed much with this movie imo
DeleteI couldn't get into the books.
ReplyDeleteI reread the first one every once in a while.
DeleteI've seen this years back, but can't say I really liked it. I do want to read the book at some point though. It must be better than the film?
ReplyDeleteThe book is _much_ better, yes!
DeleteOhhh this is Mr. M's favorite movie of all time. He watches it often.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those "different strokes" moments, isn't it lol
DeleteShame it wasn't that good, I know how much you enjoy Sci-fi! Take care and wishing you a lovely Friday and weekend! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI'm happily waiting for the next attempt :)
DeleteI actually saw this years ago on TV. For some reason, I wasn't that impressed, which says a lot, since I love SciFi.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's just a bit much. Or maybe not enough...
DeleteI watched this film on my tablet when I was in the clinic, but wasn't impressed. Have a great weekend, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt really is a shame. The book is good!
DeleteI tried to like this when I saw it ages ago on a date. It's never good to go to a date on a bad movie. It's a bad omen for the future!
ReplyDeleteBut it gives you so much to talk about after the movie is over lol
DeleteThe books were really good but this movie wasn't, as I recall. That's all I remember about it really--not good. I remember more of the books. ;)
ReplyDeleteI read several of the books but don't remember how many. I've kept the first one and have re-read it a few times. I wish they'd make a worthy adaptation :(
