People either love it or hate it no in between, but most of the people who don't like it are surely A.D.D. and hate it because they can't follow the dialogue.

Watch any sci fi movie from the early 80's and you're probably going to think pretty much the same thing.

Not true. I'm pretty indifferent to it.

I love when people think they sound smart by saying that, DUH! You can almost never make a better film about any book, they have to be judged on their own as genre films/books..

unhh what? It's not about sounding smart, it's the truth you dumb moran.

LOTR did a great job on the big screen, so did the hunger games. And from what I gathered, most of the HP movies did as well.

Well there are degrees of donkey ball suckage. The first book is good, the next few suck moderately sized donkey balls, then when his son took over they started sucking 30 pound donkey balls.

Dune is excellent. And Sting's role isn't funny, it's terrifying in its implications. Baron Harkonnen is one of the best villains ever.

You didn't watch the 3-hour TV cut did you?
