Is the Children of Dune any good?

I have never seen it, and was wondering how it is?

I you're talking about the further novels, I didn't find them all that compelling.

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

I was talking about the t.v. miniseries. I am surprised by your reactions, because it is rated very good on amazon.com.

I thought Children of Dune was quite good. It definitely is made for fans of the novels. It assumes more familiarity with the characters and situations than the Dune miniseries did. Plus, it forwent the aesthetic decision of the first mini to make it look like a stylized stage production and made it more realistic. Alia was hot, but they probably could have gotten a better actress for the role.
