I only watched DnD recently, mostly just accidentally at a friend's place. Also thought it was really good, well made, funny, a really pleasant surprise all around. For me, it reminded me of what I felt about some 90s movies - a movie made to be fun, not to make you feel deep feels, think deep thoughts, or shock in the shockingest way of all. Just fun. That is not a bad thing...

I have not tried this before, guess I'll add it to my list, sounds (and looks) great!
I'm with you on this one. GNU PTerry
Heck, did I write this in my sleep? 100% my impressions as well. The 'pretty but soul-less' feel, the Lady Jessica constantly looking about to burst into tears, the glossing over things... A personal peeve was the conversation Leto had with Paul back on Caladan; don't even remember what it was about, but remember grumbling out loud in the cinema because it was just so... one-dimensional. Something like 'I know how you feel because I felt exactly the same way back in the day!' Oooohhh buggerrrr ooffffffff! Where are the deep complicated powerful characters, the complex politics, the strong relationships and love? Nah, we'll just blah blah..
