[QUOTE]Originally posted by Middy Seafort: [QB] I rather enjoyed the condensing of "Dune Messiah" as part one of "Children of Dune." While I enjoyed the last "Dune" mini, I'm glad that TPTB allowed another director to take over from Harrison. I preferred the style in which "Children" was filmed over Harrison's style in the last mini. I didn't like some of the visual choices Harrison made, in terms of camera angles and such in the first film; although he did do an admirable job at writing it, both this current series and the first one (even tho' there was some corny Harkonnan dialogue). Harrison stayed more true to the books than the Lynch disaster. The best part about this mini was the music, especially at the climax of part one. It went well with the montage. [/QB][/QUOTE]
