[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 1078929, member: 73546"] I read all 6 Dune books back when I was in college, I watched both miniseries, I watched Dune (1984), I read most (not all) of the Dune Encyclopedia a couple of years ago, and too much dialogue was not my problem with the Denis's Dune movies; but I definitely agree that the fight scenes should have had more screen time, and they should have been better (especially in Dune: Part One). I was not a fan of some flashy & unnecessary fighting moves shown in both movies, and I do not like how they did not have The Weirding Way or some of it being taught to the Fremen. Denis cut out too much from the book & made some unnecessary changes, in my opinion, his style does not work as well in any of the science fiction movies that I have seen by him. I like his other movies that I have seen so far, but his science fiction movies are my least favorite movies by him. I will probably be seeing Dune: Part Two again in a better movie theater later this month with one of my brothers, so I assume that I will like it better this time; but I doubt that it will win me over as a Dune adaptation compared to either Dune miniseries, but we shall see.
