Just a thought. I really enjoyed the book and still dip into it once in a while. Maybe that the film brings up the memories of the book that you enjoyed and that makes the film more pleasurable.

Just been perusing my collection and thought "Dune" for a change. The TV series that is. Now I know the effects are low key but I enjoy it as the book and the series complement each other to an extent. At least for me anyway.

I also realise the on line reviews can be very subjective.
