Dreamcatcher Review Part 3

Update: Been a loooooooong time coming, but i finally found a way around the copyright problem that forced me to remove Part 3 months ago. I hope this works and you can all see my 2nd review in it's entirety on youtube w/o going to blip to view it. Sorry about this, and I really wish i could have done this sooner. Enjoy!

Dan sits down yet again to talk about another bad movie. This time, Stephen King is the target. Dreamcatcher is a film that defies description.... but I'm gonna try my best to do so.

I.... DUDDIT!

@BlueFoundatlon I don't get it. How was that concept so hard to get on film? Why did they scrap all of that in favor of making just another flat sci-fi movie? If they did this right, hell, it could have ended up like a mix of Aliens and Stand By Me (read: FUCKING AWESOME!!!) I didn't even read the book and I GET THE CONCEPT!? What were they thinking? Take that story and this admittedly great ensemble cast, and they really could of had a winner here. Ahh well at least I was able to make fun of it

[BlueFoundatlon]

@DanSheaMovieReviews You got the conspept right indeed :) its how about Duddits,a kid with special abilities has something more!Its not the outside we see,in the inside he is more clever than everyone else and in fact he was the one who was playing with the guys and not the guys playing with him!He gave them these "powers" in order to thank them i believe.Not sure though :) feel free to ask anything!I'll try to explain and thanks for the conversation!

[DanSheaMovieReviews]

@BlueFoundatlon No I understand the concept I think. I'm a little fuzzy, but it was really just about the bonds of friendship that hold people together and the powers that they have are all supposed to be based around the type of person that they are. I'm not really too sure so feel free to correct me. In all fairness, I'm just not into reading. I always found reading boring to tell you the truth. I always preferred movies over books. In and out in a few hours, I'm set! I'm a movie guy is all :)

[BlueFoundatlon]

@DanSheaMovieReviews Wayyyyyyy way worse!!!The ending made me so sad!In the book Duddits died in the Humvee cause of his illness!But in the movie he was the one who killed Mr.Gray (who was real and not just Jonesy's imagination!) by turning himself into...an alien!A good one though!Also for someone who hasn't read the book,they might find it hard to understand the movie and the real consept!That's why i prefer reading the book first and after watching the movie based on it! :)

[DanSheaMovieReviews]

@BlueFoundatlon Yeah, I heard that the ending of the book was obviously far superior to the end of the movie, tho I don't know any specifics of the "real ending." You're right, the movie started off strong, with an air of mystery that King does so well. And then it all just falls apart into an incoherent mess of a generic sci-fi movie that felt like a bad X-Files episode. I also heard that Kurtz in the book was a fucking madman. They hinted at it in the movie, but I heard hes waaaaaaay worse

[BlueFoundatlon]

Well i finished the book two days ago and then i saw the movie the same night :)

I must say that i was realy disapointed!The book was amazing-excelent-fantastic!

The movie though?At the begining everything was ok with Hole in the wall,Mc Carthy etc.No lights in the sky though,no paranormal,when the adventure came in no chasings,not that bad Kurtz as the book said,no Perlmutter, no Freddy.No Mr Gray in the hospital and not the real ending.The end was soooo bad.

[DanSheaMovieReviews]

@BlueFoundatlon Agreed. In the movie it come so far out of left field. At one point, it's just like "oh, by the way guys, we have super powers... awesome" I think King knew what he was doing when he took his name off of this project. If you can't do it right, then why do it at all? He knew right away that Dreamcatcher couldn't be told in a 2 hour movie. However, if it were a miniseries with a better director (Frank Darabont comes to mind, he knows how to do King) it MIGHT be a different story.
