Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

triumphtransportinc Not the blizzard of bulls#%^ we expected. Great twist! Love Duds ;-)

Mikelikesnotlikes I would never have thought I'd give any film with Morgan Freeman in it a bad review.It was almost as if all the actors were directed to act badly. Even a poor script can be saved by great actors but not in this case. Pommy accent to indicate the alien speaking? What the freaking hell?It felt like a 90's tele-movie. Those flashback scenes with the vomit inducing 'nice' virtuous, telepathic young boys: straight out of a Disney film. No kid ever did stuff like that, especially when they are in a group.And what the hell was the Duddits transformation about?Good special FX and CGI.

adonis98-743-186503 Friends on a camping trip discover that the town they're vacationing in is being plagued in an unusual fashion by parasitic aliens from outer space. Dreamcatcher is a 2003 Horror movie starring Jason Lee, Damian Lewis, Timothy Olyphant, Thomas Jane, Tom Sizemore, Donnie Wahlberg and Morgan Freeman and like i said on my summary this film wasted a talented cast plus the cgi monster looked awful and the comedy made my eyes roll like an alien biting Olyphant's d*ck or even Wahlberg saying "Scooby-Doo" and other stupid scenes like that but the funny part is that the movie "Cell" that came out last year was more enjoyable than this which was also another failed attempt to translate a book to a movie from Stephen King. Overall "Dreamcatcher" could have been a great film but the bad choice of humor and the overall dull story took the whole premise away.

bluebray Having read the source material by Stephen King I really enjoyed Dreamcatcher, with well developed characters who I cared for, and a story that was coherent, made sense and (baring in mind it's primarily Sci-Fi) was fairly believable. The film however lacked all of this.I'll start with what I liked about the film. The casting was generally good, all of the characters largely looked how I had imagined them on the page and they appear to give their best efforts at a poorly written screenplay. It is also shot quite nicely, however if you have to resort to commenting on how good the film looks, there is clearly something lacking from what is most important about a film, which is to my mind story and character. Unfortunately that is about all that I can say that's good about Dreamcatcher and the bad points far outweigh the good.The story writing and dialogue is sloppy, which may not be the director or the screenwriters fault as the book is quite content heavy. The characters are introduced very quickly and as a viewer you learn nothing of real consequence about them, which leads to me as a viewer lacking an emotional connection to them. With the exception of Jonesy the friends are meant to be introduced as being unhappy with their lives, particularly Beaver, who is only happy once reunited with his friends for their annual hunting trip, which (among other things) gives his death more emotional weight. Pete is meant to have a serious drink problem that he desperately tries to hide from his friends without success. Henry is very depressed, and like Pete tries to hide this, but also like Pete without success. None of this is covered in any detail in the film, it is briefly pointed out and then forgotten.The motivation of Owen and Curtis are really poorly done. Owen agrees to help Henry despite having not shown a great deal of resistance to the atrocities he is being ordered to commit beforehand, and having spoken to Henry for just a minute agrees to help him escape. In the book, Curtis is consistently proving himself to be mad and interested only in self preservation, his character is given a lot more time to earn his furious chase after Owen, rather than Freeman's portrayal of Curtis, who appears to have no motivation.The need to make Mr.Grey speak in a posh English accent and be constantly happy and polite was stupid as well. Mr.Grey is meant to be a character whose emotional capabilities are limited to either, extremely calm and in control or overwhelmingly frustrated and angry, slowly gaining the full range of human emotion the longer he spends inhabiting Jonsey's body. The flash backs also fail to give enough back story to make us appreciate the strength of the five kids friendship. The writing for the kids in particular is really bad, which I guess at least matches the poor acting ability of said kid actors.Overall while Dreamcatcher is not in anyway offensive, and is a perfectly tolerable, it is boring and incoherent. It lacks any kind of depth in the writing department, which granted, may have been due to the mass of content available to the creators, and makes me wonder is perhaps Dreamcatcher wouldn't be more suited to being a TV miniseries. However with the cast and source material available Dreamcatcher should have been a great deal better than it was, a very underwhelming adaptation.
