Being a fan of original Dune book and David Lynchs interpretation of it, I was a little concerned how this would play out. Given how modern remakes of classic movies often seem to be a near constant trainwreck of trying to fit pieces that don't belong, over the top and often unnecessary CGI, and ham acting.

However, Denis Villeneuve, has handled this beloved story, beautifully and I couldn't have been happier. Beautiful story telling, stunning visuals, and a nice pace on the action. The actors do a great job of creating the illusion of reality, so that you get lost in it. So good, it made me want to go re-read the books again, so good, I want to watch this movie again, just because they have done such a great job.

The only problem is now, it left me wanting more. I want part 2, today, right now in fact.

Harks back to the good "old" days. A TV series made with an awesome story, that both kids and adults who enjoy fantasy will love. In this case a story so well put together you find yourself sitting with your children, waiting for(self imposed) the next episode. Forcing yourself to switch off after each one, just to have that enjoyment of making it last longer."Dad can we watch the next Trollhunters?" being the most asked question in the house.My seven year son and my eleven year old daughter both loving it and talking about it with each other, asking their friends where they are up to (because they are all watching it too.. wait, you're not watching, quick, come with me, you can watch it at my house, "Dad can xyz, watch some Trollhunters?"... yeah it's that good). Being so involved in the story getting a lump in the throat when... watch it, I won't spoil it for you, but trust me, it's really really good ! I really hope they can find someone as good as Anton Yelchin to be Jim, but hope even more that they make a season 2.
