This is a A terrible movie in the worst way. Midway through , without any warning, they threw in a sexual assault scene of a young girl. I do not choose to watch such horrific things and to spring it out of nowhere was dishonest and inconsiderate.

The show was entertaining and held my interest through all the episodes. It was also lighthearted and funny, which I appreciate since these days so many shows are full of violence. I have mixed feelings about deceiving Ronald for that long and in that way. I don’t think $100,000 was enough compensation for that infringement into his life. I would also delete out the toilet scene and the sex scene which were ridiculous and unnecessary. It was almost like they allowed on another writer to write that episode. He or she should be fired if that was the case. Nonetheless, I recommend this as five or six hours of pure entertainment, and a heartwarming ending.

For all Dune fans this is a must see and will not disappoint. Paul is cast perfectly. So is Jessica. The visuals are fantastic, especially the ornithopter. The carpet on the ramp of the big transport was a nice touch. I will be curious to see how Paul develops into the man-leader in the next movie. He is great as the young, coming of age Bene Geseret. You can see him starting to develop and mature as the movie progresses. Based on the way the director and actors have done such a great job so far, I’m sure they will do a good job on this as well. I have only two criticism and they are probably more about me than movie deficiencies. First, I had a little trouble understanding the dialogue at times. I look forward to being able to turn on the closed captions when I watch on streaming. Second, and I say this about pretty much every book turned into movie I see, is that I would like to see this as a 12 part series so they could really develop the plot. Those small criticisms aside, I highly recommend this movie and can’t wait for Part 2.

I thought the movie was excellent. I loved the play and the movie did not disappoint. Ben Platt should get an academy award for his performance! I wish they would have included all the songs. Leaving out the three songs was a mistake and detracted from the movie, although not enough to reduce my overall rating of five stars.
