The Butlerian Jihad Reviews

[Mad Rhetoric]

I just think of them looking like Sards from the Miniseries,with that hat and all,except a gold uniform.(Gold armor,etc.)

[Acriku]

Oh, well in that case it would be strange seeing as the Sardaukar were prisoners.

[garth]

I think the Butler family is gonna be wiped out (die as martyrs) and whoever takes their place as head of the League of Nobles will carry on the fight against machines to their victory at the Battle of Corrin.

oi! it's been awhile Shaddam

[garth]

Yeh, hard to believe I'm even *this* active after over 3 years in the Dune community.

i Read it and loved it. i got it for 9.99 hardback. why doesnt a big movie corporation purchase dune and make a decent movie. it will become like lord of the rings, many people will buy the books. and everyone will be happy.

Except for those of us who think Hollywood is largely computer-generated crap (and yes, I am somewhat including LotR in that generalization). Personally, I liked the Lynch version of Dune.

did anybody agree with my opinion? or am I just the minority who thinks that though the prequels are great, it did not capture what frank wanted and it did not show a very good history of the jihad. Hey, at least it is something though. Something is better than nothing. :)

[Dunenewt]

I agree - something is better than nothing

[Andrew]

The good thing about them making prequels is that it gets people to read the original books.

[ilexatrei]

Even though the prequels were not as expected you have to admit that there were some pretty humorous portions.

Including, the probe that was eaten by the Sandworm in The Bulterian Jihad. ;D

Baron becoming overly obese :D

and

Duncan outwitting Rabban

[exatreide]

but can we forget the lameness of some parts.

"this time its personal." i mean come on....that ruined house corrino for me that one line,

even though the atreides kicking sadukar ass was nice.... :)

[Dunenewt]

I thought the prequels were as good as every other book except Dune itself

[flybyjack76ers1]

What were the flaws that the prequel had. They have been talked about but not named.
