Am I alone in liking this?

[Bucky Dough Matzo]

I know that many people hated this one, usually for 2 reasons:

1. The child actors were bad.
2. The ending did not make sense.

Well, if you don't judge the children, an ignore the end, it's very good. Anyone agree?

I didn't think it was that bad of a movie. The stock of any movie goes up a bit when I notice Timothy Olyphant is in it. He's a very good actor and the other actors I thought did a pretty good job. Not the best S.K adapted movie but not the worst...

[Todash]

I liked it just fine, I think. I say that because I don't remember it as being awful or excellent, which in general means I enjoyed myself and had popcorn and Coke Zero and all in all a pleasant evening at the show.

The first time I saw Dreamcatcher, I was pretty disappointed. I guess I had really high expectations. But as time has gone by, I found that I really do like the movie. No, it's not perfect, but it's not bad either.

[Bucky Dough Matzo]

Yeah, Olyphant is good. I'm glad I'm not alone.

I thought this was a great movie. it seemed to follow the book pretty closely.

[GNTLGNT]

...this will be damning with faint praise...but it ain't awful....

I read the book twice before I really got it. Strangely enough it was the same with the film. It turned up on TV and we watched it and really enjoyed it then. Maybe it suits the small screen better.

Yeah this is sadly one of the books I haven't gotten to reading yet. I saw the movie and definitely enjoyed it. Friends of mine and I go up to a cabin twice a year just to hang out and catch up, and something about this movie captures that kind of nostalgia for me (before it all goes to ****e) :)

I'll have to pick this one up on audible once I'm done with The Stand unabridged on audible ;)

I thought the movie was awful and I love the book. The ending was awful and I was really disappointed with Morgan Freeman tho I suspect that was more the director. I do not think he was nearly the crazy he was in the book.

[CCAL]

I really liked the book (ofcourse), the movie was worth the cost. I didnt care for one of the characters rendition
(is that the word?), but I know it was probably the only way to protray his scenes fighting 'himself' on the snowmobile..if it is convenient I will certainly enjoy watching it again. So I guess we dont agree on this one. (although I didnt care for Freemans character either-but they werent trying to please lil ole me.ha)

[StephenKingAddict]

I feel the same way exactly :smile2:

[firebolt69]

I Thought it was awful; I loved the book though. The Adaptation was just moronic, honestly, S.K. created such a great story with emotion and Friendship, The Movie messed everything up. I did not enjoy the movie.

[Milica]

I love that movie.When I frist time watch Dreamcatcher I didn'i know that it was made by SK book and I like it very much!

[MyLife4YouSK]

I dug the movie overall! Couple things I didn't like: No BACON! scene??? Why the hell did they not film one? I mean honestly... it would have been killer! :sigh: And I only read the book once., but didn't Duddits have Down's Syndrome? Why couldn't they have gotten an actor with Downs to play him? That bugged me. Also, Col. Curtis's eyebrows... REALLY? They were very distracting for me. lol Loved Henry, Beaver, Pete and even Jonesy's british accent to help distinguish Mr. Gray was cool. I bought the dvd, so that's definitely a thumbs up for me! (y)

The movie of Dreamcather was ok. It has a good cast, and the first hour or so was really good as we see the characters develop. That first part of the movie had a very good Stephen King feel to it. But once the alien stuff starts happening it falls apart a little bit. They try to stuff too much story into too little time. The book wasn't one of my absolute favorites either. Based on this and The Tommyknockers, I really don't care for Stephen King's alien stories. I just don't think he does aliens very well.

[Shoesalesman]

The movie was 'okay'. The gore was well done, but some of the acting was painful to endure. Overall, worth the rental.

[Belle89]

The overall experience for the movie is very good. Actually it's one of my favorite movies.
