The Syfy miniseries was decent given the budget. I like that it did often try to stick to the book. And it had the only Gurney that qualifies as an ugly lump of a man and actually has the scar. The main thing that keeps me from liking it more is that I didn't like the casting of Paul or Leto. Leto is just too soft and easy going and Paul comes off as a prick most of the time - even before he comes into his power. I also didn't like the arc they gave Irulan. Especially giving her that watered down version of Lady Fenring's arc. A manor quibble is that they seemed not to know what to do with the mentats. Lynch's quirky portrayal worked well for the mentats. I wonder if Thufir will finally get his whole story in this movie. At least he gets a parasol.
