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.

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 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.
