First of, don't expect a blockbuster like UNDERWORLD. This movie was shot with a budget of Au$ 200,000, that's Australian, by a guy who never wrote or made a movie before. Consider all these when you watch the movie and you might forgive its short comings.
Sure a lot of idiots complain that there are better movies with lower budget, yes, well ask how many of them are effects driven action movies with such a large scope like GABRIEL. Clerks !?... um no.
Frankly, Gabriel is a the indie action film. These being said, the movie moves at a pretty typical style and pace until the ending when it really pays off. The fights are quite cleverly choreographed and the editing is pretty tight. Its the dialogs that needed improvement and the story needed to explain itself a more. Half the time you'll be left wondering the rules of the world.
In the end, watch it for yourself and discover. As an independent effects driven action film with a style of SIN CITY, it is definitely the 1st.

I remember when first saw the 1984 version of DUNE. I was quite impressed and well, quite confused at the same time, mind you I have never read Frank Herbert's classic novels but I was aware of them and had played the WESTWOOD games. Even then the movie struck me as ones of those rare gems. Not quite PERFECT but its the only of its kind out there. I'll be blunt. DUNE is not for everyone. It's not a pure Fantasy... or Sci Fi or action OR even Sci Fantasy like Star Wars. It has its own unique style. So why am I giving this movie a 5 out of 10 if I enjoyed it so much !? Because then I saw the SCI FI miniseries. THAT's what DUNE should have been and is. So the end verdict is.
The Extended Cut is good for nostalgia's sake and its GOOD movie if you compared to the time it was made and David Lynch certainly tried his best to capture the books to his ability and he did well BUT DUNE has already been updated and done better so no point going through this unless you actually prefer this or just wanna see how the classic was.
