Personally, I think both the miniseries and movie had their good parts. This scene, I think was better done in Lynch's movie. However, Shaddam's miniseries version along with the miniseries Baron Harkonnen was more book like(Shaddam from movie was just as great but not book like while Baron Harkonnen was a bit too gross).
I don't know why people like Sting's version of Feyd Ruatha instead of Matt Keeslar.Keeslar(which is a good villain name all by itself)was a complete character while Sting just posed in a rubber Hawk wing bikini(fan service)for no real reason,carried around a anorexic cat in a cage and hissed and screamed a few lines('I will kill him!").The Lynch fight scene was more film editing than fight work.The mini's fight scene was better(as when the word cousin stuns Feyd).
Ok seriously, what the hell is up with the hand gestures starting at 0:42? It's like watching an attempt at out acting William Shatner or some bad high school milking the giant cow crap acting.
And the fight in this version sucked period. At least Sting as Feyd in the 1984 version had some charisma and was badass.
@xombimonkey I used to work with a guy who looked exactly like the guildsman. I payed him $5 if he would reenact this scene. He did and it was so funny.
What we need is a new Dune that has the level of acting and styling of the movie Dune and the length and detail of the Mini-Series. I personally think both are good, but for different reasons. The movie Dune has loads of style and great acting, but was incoherent enough to cause headaches. The mini-series has uneven acting (some actors were good, some awful), but made the story interesting and coherent. Thus, we need the best parts from both and THEN we'd have something great.
I believe it's more of a matter of.....'familiarity'. People are used to the old one, therefore can't enjoy the new one. Doesn't mean the movie is bad, simply unfamiliar. I believe if someone were to pick up both movies, and watch this one first, then the old one; odds are they would prefer this version. Just an opinion, but I hope people at least take it into consideration.
I always found it funny how people love the old Dune so much and call it a....'masterpiece'. What most people don't realize is that when the first Dune came out, it actually received mostly negative views. It was considered one of the worst movies of the year. And now ,people call it a masterpiece now that it has a remake. No, I don't think the old movie was better; I think this is simply another case of people unable to enjoy a remake because they've seen the old one first.
@Neville6000 Notice that the Fremen had all the weapons. Feyd wasn't armed. And using the Emperor's knife was symbolic. If Feyd won Shaddam would've given him Irulan, hence the next Emperor.
Peter Jackson needs to jump on this shit ASAP. Every version has BLOWN so far. Saying one is better than the other is like saying one turd is browner than the other.
@actionCHEESE1:Peter Jackson's better off doing his own thing from his own head, instead-doing Dune will be a mistake (especially considering how hard it is to adapt the books to the screen.) I think that the miniseries are a hell of a lot better than any movie version.
My God this version is shameful crap...Lynch's version is 1000 times better than this. Lynch and Herbert both wanted the original to be a mini series...what a shame.
what the fuck is Shadam wearing? A Padishah emperor should look exactly like what the David Lynch movie had, the costume designs were good despite being a poor adaption
@PlanetOfTheAtheist The David Lynch were costumes were even worse. The miniseries was just low-budget so everything looked cheap as hell. If they had some of that Hollywood blockbuster money, I'm sure they could have done something about the costuming. Those Emperor sleeves are hilarious.
Yes this version follows the books more than the David Lynch version, but that doesn't make it better than the David lynch version. I too read the books and loved them, but still love the Lynch version better than this nonsense. here we get something which is more true to the plot of the book, but it feels cheaply made in almost every aspect. The Lynch version may not have followed the book word for word, but it had excellent acting, visuals, and even Frank Herbert himslef liked it.
What I will say is the flip dart was cleverly concealed in the mail fighting trunks, a subtle deception (in the book at least). I thought the movie was bad but this is even worse. Read the book!
i like the david lynch version a hell of alot better... but this is pretty good too. the fighting seemed like a bad attempt at something matrix-style but i think this version follows the book alot closer, and is more realistic. i just like the unrealistic much better ;P thats why im OBSESSED with dune! :D
Some tough critics here! I like this version better than the Lynch version because it follows the book Dune. I think many of you should try reading the book and see what I mean vs. comparing the movies as a whole.
I'm not quite sure I agree that the costumes are absurd. It is a certainty that in the future people will look ridiculous to us, especially ceremonial outfits. They've portrayed it quite well by retaining as little noughties culture as possible, as opposed to the thick 80's culture present in Lynch's.
The costumes are absurd, but I like the tone of the sets (particularly Arakeen) and desert a lot better than David Lynch's. His Dune world was just grim and unpleasant. And this fight is far superior to the poorly paced ring around the rosies that was at the end of the Lynch version. Also, the soundtracks in both the miniseries are monumentally better than the one in the Lynch film.
The set design, casting, music, costumes and atmosphere of Lynch's movie is a million times better than this but I do admit the fight between Paul and Feyd was better here.
I think they acquired the costumes used in the SyFy miniseries from a Goodwill store that collected donations from the Fifth Element's wardrobe department.
It's a shame he had to kill his own cousin. And because of the secretive sisters, poor Feyd never knew that Paul was in fact his second cousin by blood.
@Thunderstormwitch Actually Feyd was more like a Paul's uncle, Feyd and Rabban were sons of Abulurd, who was brother to Vladimir, and Vladimir was father to Jessica who in turn was mother of Paul-Muad'Dib and Alia. So like I said, Feyd was more of an uncle.
@zyxlamonde I think I semi-agree. Both miniseries and movie had good and bad parts. This scene is still better in movie though. Oddly enough, the Guild are very strange in both. In Lynch movie, the Guild are some robotic individuals with microphones and giant Navigators while here, they have odd hats and pointless gestures.
Both versions need some changes to fit with the book better.
This was an extremely good adaptation of Dune, considering it had a low budget by film standards. A couple of the actors were lousy, the battles were underdone, and the costumes were retarded. But overall the movie was very good, and the sequel was even better.
@jhop9898 I never said his acting was good, but he's reached legend status as far as an acting career, watch Kiss of the Spider Woman or Children of a Lesser God if you don't believe me
O and In the book chani was a little skinny girl with reddish blonde hair, this chick is hot but not what was described in the book. They also mispronounced her name and the name fedaykin, it should be pronounced FED-A-Keen, it has arabic roots. What they said sounded like a lesbian sex position.
imo I think they cast the Baron perfect, but some others are wrong, according to the book, Lady Jessica had an oval face with a small nose, this lady is okay but damn what a snout, and I thought that Feyd was much bigger and more stout than Paul. And I totally agree about the emporer, he had red hair and wore a military uniform. O well, I love all six books and enjoy watching someone else's take on them. PS, the chick who plays Alia in scifi's children cant act but damn she is fine!
I agree about the costumes and the way Paul was acting before he became muad'dib are pretty silly, but I also think that this was a good series for sci-fi. actually if an anonymous dune fan that has no ties to hollywood doesnt get to make the movie, hollywood will never get it right. And wtf were the sardaukar wearing in this series?
I thought this mini-series was awesome. Great effects, beautifully choreographed. I thought it was great. Maybe the books were better. It was still better than the 1984 movie. Atleast they didnt ask sting to reprise his role as Feyd.
Overall i thought this adaptation was really well done.
@Princess2Warrior Have you read the book you retard? Its a fucking knife fight, they are trying to stab each other, and I happen to love Martial Arts such as Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Boxing
@Princess2Warrior Have you ever read the book? The weirding way was indeed in the book, but it was not used in the final knife-duel between the two, there was nothing about Feyd Rautha ever using the Weirding Way at all, as he is not a Bene Gesserit or Fremen which cancels out any Prana-bindu training either, he only used the formal rules of kanly to fight
@Princess2Warrior Paul Atreides never used the weirding way in this fight from the book, if he did Feyd would have been killed in a second, this mini series is bull shit, try reading the book instead
David Lynch's movie may have had it's flaws, but this is just......just terrible. This is like a low budget syfy daytime movie. Feyd in this series was nothing compared to Sting as Feyd in the original. Just horrible...
lol im halfway thru book 3..........im so glad i read the books before i seen this feces........the books are so much better......my left nut could produce a better movie...........the books are AWESOME!
@OvershadowMind66 no baron was his grandfather. and his mother and feyd were cousins--- So They are first cousins once removed. the removed coming from one generation difference.
What was weird was that the director claimed to be a huge fan of the books. Perhaps he was but he wasn't a good director. No one has mentioned how the Emperor looks wrong, he is described as looking mid-30's with red hair in the book. I personally think this is something hollywood should leave alone, two failures to me means they should just give up. Having said that I still kind of enjoyed Children of Dune, but it still doesn't compare to the books.
@36MonkeysThatFly Seriously. What happened to the black hair, round face. Black tunic above dark trousers.
And that's just Feyd! All in all, I would I have enjoyed this version way better if they had portrayed Paul correctly. Paul is always pouting, scowling and acting like a stuck-up douche. Not only did Kyle MacLaughlin LOOK the part in Lynch's movie, he acted properly too. Paul is a great character: he is angry and tormented but he also smiles and laughs. He feels like a real person.
As someone who's read the book serveral times, I'll admit that the miniseries wasn't perfect... but I still enjoy it. It hits on many of my favorite themes from the novels.
It's also a million times better than the David Lynch version. That man completely trashed the book, and turned it into a bizzare, over-the-top parody. I mean... wierding modules, heart plugs, and cat milking? Seriously?
@Violetsaber Not to metion it's glacier-like pace, especially when House Atredies leaves Caladan. This series progresses with a good flow of events, and doesn't draw things out.
I feel like screaming in frustration, but all I can do is sigh over how crap it looks and how crap the acting appears to be after watching the old Dune...... And what a hell is with that Karate Kid thing on his head???
I feel like screaming in frustration, but all I can do is sigh over how crap it looks and how crap the acting appears to be after watching the old Dune......
I hated to see Feyd get it, he was far more entertaining than the dry and overly philosphical characters that are so numerous throughout this movie. There should have been a director's cut where Feyd kills Paul, claims Chani, and takes over Dune.
there was an unnecessary Topless shot for the dvd xD good thing i got it for a dollar :) the movie sucks but it was worth seeing Chani's tits :D best part of the movie :) oh and btw he doesnt use the word..he reveled that he is his cousin...either which dont happen in the book lolz
I really hated this version of DUNE... it was TERRIBLE!!!!!! FFS if you are going to do an adaptation of something this goddamned epic, it better be a full on production bigger and better than the 1984 version. Fucking wb version... sigh...
thumbs up to all who know thisis truly not the epic it should have been. It's like they're acting skills are like ok lets get this over with. This movie should have been like.....gosh i'm about to break my monitor
I do understand that everyone has their own unique vision of how Dune looked in their mind, but this miniseries seriously got it all wrong. Honestly, who was in charge here? Where was the guy in the production team who should have said "um, no that's retarded. Let's not do that."?
They had the resources to make an amazing adaptation but instead they wasted it on this shit.
They are gonna remake it again for the big screen, what do you think? i think both movies failed such as this movie and the David Lynch monstrosity, but Children of Dune was fantastic.
I am extremely excited for the eventual remake. It seems like they have messed up adapting the novel Dune into a full length movie too many times, and for them to mess up again would just be unbelievable. So I'm thinking they have probably seen what works and what doesn't by now, and that means they won't make the same mistakes that were made in these adaptations.
I personally think Lynch's adaptation got the basic feel of the novel, but the overall composition was pretty bad.
I hope the new movie gets 3 parts similar to how Lord of the Rings was and erase the memories of both existing Dune movies and hire a great director like Alfonso Cauron for example or Alex Proyas of Dark City fame. Besides i think Star Wars and James Cameron's Avatar are already the same damn thing as Dune, both Lucas and Cameron are huge fans of the novel and were inspired by it and they have similarities.
I agree, they really shouldn't try to cram the entire novel into a single film. That would require cutting a lot of stuff from the novel, which is difficult because practically the entire novel is important. And you're right, Star Wars and Cameron's Avatar show us how potentially awesome a Dune movie could be if executed properly.
@Behrzad I agree-and one thing I had a hard time with..well....Stilgar, both in book and in Lynch's movie; had features of a man that lived in the desert. Hell I'll say it, like Arabic features. Which all Fremen people did. That's what Herbert was going for. In this..Stilgar looks like he's Swedish! A desert person? I don't think so! Just ONE of my qualms.
the actors are all waterfat

@TheWrestlerNation Yeah - in other words MMA bullcrap.
MMA itself is primitive and the opposite of Hyper-Evolved Martial Arts.
Also, have you read the book? Because it sounds like you've never heard of the Weirding Way.
Weirding Way=Hyper-evolved Martial Arts - very Kung Fu-esqe.

@Princess2Warrior Have you ever read the book? The weirding way was indeed in the book, but it was not used in the final knife-duel between the two, there was nothing about Feyd Rautha ever using the Weirding Way at all, as he is not a Bene Gesserit or Fremen which cancels out any Prana-bindu training either, he only used the formal rules of kanly to fight
SuperHeroMania 9 months ago
@SuperHeroMania And?
I never said Feyd used the Weirding Way or was trained in it.
Though I'm sure Paul used it, to defeat Feyd.
This is 10,000 years in the future so any form of Martial Art is hyper-evolved I.E. more advanced than what we have now.
Feyd didn't use the Weirding Way but he obviously used a more advanced form of hand to hand than we have now.

What was weird was that the director claimed to be a huge fan of the books. Perhaps he was but he wasn't a good director. No one has mentioned how the Emperor looks wrong, he is described as looking mid-30's with red hair in the book. I personally think this is something hollywood should leave alone, two failures to me means they should just give up. Having said that I still kind of enjoyed Children of Dune, but it still doesn't compare to the books.

@36MonkeysThatFly Seriously. What happened to the black hair, round face. Black tunic above dark trousers.
And that's just Feyd! All in all, I would I have enjoyed this version way better if they had portrayed Paul correctly. Paul is always pouting, scowling and acting like a stuck-up douche. Not only did Kyle MacLaughlin LOOK the part in Lynch's movie, he acted properly too. Paul is a great character: he is angry and tormented but he also smiles and laughs. He feels like a real person.

As someone who's read the book serveral times, I'll admit that the miniseries wasn't perfect... but I still enjoy it. It hits on many of my favorite themes from the novels.
It's also a million times better than the David Lynch version. That man completely trashed the book, and turned it into a bizzare, over-the-top parody. I mean... wierding modules, heart plugs, and cat milking? Seriously?

I hated to see Feyd get it, he was far more entertaining than the dry and overly philosphical characters that are so numerous throughout this movie. There should have been a director's cut where Feyd kills Paul, claims Chani, and takes over Dune.

I do understand that everyone has their own unique vision of how Dune looked in their mind, but this miniseries seriously got it all wrong. Honestly, who was in charge here? Where was the guy in the production team who should have said "um, no that's retarded. Let's not do that."?
They had the resources to make an amazing adaptation but instead they wasted it on this shit.

They are gonna remake it again for the big screen, what do you think? i think both movies failed such as this movie and the David Lynch monstrosity, but Children of Dune was fantastic.
Johnlindsey289 1 year ago
@Johnlindsey289
I am extremely excited for the eventual remake. It seems like they have messed up adapting the novel Dune into a full length movie too many times, and for them to mess up again would just be unbelievable. So I'm thinking they have probably seen what works and what doesn't by now, and that means they won't make the same mistakes that were made in these adaptations.
I personally think Lynch's adaptation got the basic feel of the novel, but the overall composition was pretty bad.
Behrzad 1 year ago
@Behrzad
I hope the new movie gets 3 parts similar to how Lord of the Rings was and erase the memories of both existing Dune movies and hire a great director like Alfonso Cauron for example or Alex Proyas of Dark City fame. Besides i think Star Wars and James Cameron's Avatar are already the same damn thing as Dune, both Lucas and Cameron are huge fans of the novel and were inspired by it and they have similarities.
Johnlindsey289 1 year ago
@Johnlindsey289
I agree, they really shouldn't try to cram the entire novel into a single film. That would require cutting a lot of stuff from the novel, which is difficult because practically the entire novel is important. And you're right, Star Wars and Cameron's Avatar show us how potentially awesome a Dune movie could be if executed properly.
Behrzad 1 year ago
@Behrzad I agree-and one thing I had a hard time with..well....Stilgar, both in book and in Lynch's movie; had features of a man that lived in the desert. Hell I'll say it, like Arabic features. Which all Fremen people did. That's what Herbert was going for. In this..Stilgar looks like he's Swedish! A desert person? I don't think so! Just ONE of my qualms.
