I've
seen bits and pieces of this extended cut of David Lynch's Dune on cable
and I thought it was pretty bad. Now that I've seen the whole thing on this new DVD
edition I can positively say that it does indeed suck ass. It sucks hard. I like
the theatrical version; it's confusing, but it's paced just right and it's
entertaining. This lengthened version stretches every needless plot point out
ad nauseum with a dull narrator's voice pointing out every stupid little detail
that does nothing to expand the story and makes the movie even more
confusing than it already was. They couldn't even finish the effects of the
newly added in footage (the blue eyes go back and forth between shots) and the
new opening montage is told with lame looking storyboards and matte paintings
which don't even sync up with the narration. Totally lame and worthless. I'll
stick with the theatrical version, thank you.
