Bad Reviews of Miniseries

[Gobalopper]

Reading through the alt.fan.dune newsgroup last night and the official board at Sci-Fi it seems that many of the "hard-core" Dune fans don't really like the miniseries, at least Part I that was on last night. I somewhat expected this knowing how picky many Dune fans can be :)

Most complaints were that the miniseries wasn't true enough to the original novel, some even saying it was as bad as the movie in that aspect. A few people who had never read the books before and watched the miniseries last night said they liked it though, which could be considered a good sign. I think you have to look at it more as entertainment then an exact adaption of the novel.

I can't give any opinion yet as it's not showing on any stations here in Canada until April but for those of you who have seen it feel free to let us know what you thought of the first part as well as the next two tonight and tomorrow.
