Someone please put a bullet in this movie. This muddled screenplay has been polluting the airwaves for more than 20 years. Dime store special effects, readers digest version of the book and a huge floating turd of a movie that just won't flush. I ask you, when will the hurting stop?!
If I had $40million in 1984 I'd have snorted it off hot latino strippers, but, nooooo, some douche just had to go and make Dune. Words that jump to mind are cluster, retarded, ugly, confused and pointless. Plus, I'd rather have Jar Jar Binks read War & Peace to me than have to listen to Paul Morondib's sister utter another handicapped line from her handicapped face.
What coke addled goon decided to shoot the entire movie through a yellow filter. I could have shot most of the movie in a sand pit not far from my house and made it look infinitely more interesting. I know you only have a $40 million budget, but come on can't you come up with something better than foam rocks, sand and sock puppet worms?
Even though the plot is full of holes and inconsistencies, I'll give the story some credit as its written by Frank Herbert. Still, whoever did the screen play adaptation should be nut punched. For someone walking in cold and not being aware of the novel you'd be doomed. None of the critical plot concepts are adequately explained. Infact, the move should have been titled, DUNE, THE UNEXPLAINED, afteral, none of the characters are developed, linked or explored. You've got worms, floating brains, emporers, trade guilds, navigators, bull dykes, sadomasochists, pseudo religious entities... none with any defined roll.
Despite the occasional inspired image flickering accross the screen, don't even get me started on the special effects. I could have wrapped my ding dong in duct tape and come up with some this contrived looking. The space ships looked like they were made out of Lego Blocks and shot at a distance through coffee stained wax paper. Shabby work all round.
Finally, Paul Asstradies could very well be the worst actor on this planet or, apparently, any other. Perhaps much of this is due to the fact that nobody bother to produce a workable script/screenplay. However, dialogue and Paul's dismal delivery have made me loathe him for all eternity.
Thank You & Regards,

Originally posted by Hand of HecateI know Starmann's impression of Christian Bale in 'The Machinist' is impressive but I doubt it's enough for womanizing.
You're just hot for the chick in the still suit. Stick to womanizing and leave the film reviews to people not blinded by the voodoo poonanny.
Originally posted by Hand of HecateLook, whilst you may be right (Sean Young was totally hot at that age), I'd still love the film, even without her.
