The movie was visual appealing but it lacked heart. All the meaningful bits that made you love or hate a character were just not there. I love this story and all the books and while I went into this movie knowing you could not pack all that is in the books into a movie, I just could not care about any of these characters. The Baron was not loathsome the "beast" was not scary. Jessica was not the strong female character, she was more jello than iron. The mentats were not even a side note, even the betrayal was weak tea lacking any real emotion.
