Dreamcatcher is way Underrated !!!

anyone agree this was a pretty decent film it had a bit of everything

good action
good script
god actors and acting
good direction
good cinematography

it overall was a good movie i liked it and was never bored while watching it i dont understand why everyone dislikes it

Jason Lee died a little too early for my liking though 😠

and i wanted Timothy Olyphant to survive the movie 🙁

Well, I don't know if you've read the book, but it was way better. Honestly, the book totally ruined the movie for me, because there was just too much left out. I guess if I'd seen the movie first, I might have liked it, but no such luck.

actually, they both suck. common misconception.

I hate it with a passion, the book was pretty silly too.

agreed! I'm sure a lot of people who went to see the movie also read the book, and if they did, that might be the reason for the poor ratings.

it may not be the best Stephen King adaption but its a pretty good one

Hearts in Atlantis is another very underrated Stephen King adaption

it's just a half-assed retread of the conceptual territory covered in the far, far superior "IT". and duddits being an alien? that's stupid.

i havent read the book so please clear this up for me

is Duddits an alien in the book because the tone of the last posters message doesnt seem as if the film got it right

I haven't read the book or seen the films, but hey at least I know who dies in the movie now. Nice spoilers! 😠

I dont get how you came to this conclusion. Was it the friendship aspect? Telling the story through two different generations. Because, these two books were nothing alike. I thought the book was very well written. It had far better direction than IT. Dreamcatcher kind of came out of left field when reading the book as a king fan. Though some of the story was fantastical it tied together perfectly. As stunning and atmospheric as IT is, 45% of the story could easily have been edited out of the book.
