I did not love the books as a kid. They were okay, but I think I was maybe a little young to understand the political complexity. The 80's Dune movie was dull and bad at the time and really really does not stand the test of time, despite the number of talented people involved. The new Dune, I would prefer as a mini-series, because I am ready for the next episode and this could definitely keep going on the detail. I loved everything from the acting and directing to the scenic design to the costumes to the creative casting. I have a pretty big TV to watch at home, but I am still a little curious about what it looks like in 3D. Then again, I never got around to seeing Avatar in 3D.
