Review by timmytoo2001-2

I had not read any of the Dune books so the only guide I had to the story and characters was the first film. I thought Dune was OK-ish but nothing special, it didn't grab me at all. I hadn't intended to see Dune II but did so after reading the many good reviews. I'm afraid my take on this one was pretty much the same as that on the first. At times it looked like whole scenes had been missed out, as though they were being saved for an extended-edition DVD, and so it was very difficult for me to follow the story as there seemed to be no continuity and no rationale for what was actually taking place on screen. Will I be going to see Dune III, as inevitably there will be one, probably not. Rated 6 purely for the special effects.
