Yeah, critics like it..
- "Easily one of the most absurdly over-plotted and incoherently condensed horror movies of recent times."
- "Kasdan and co-screenwriter William Goldman clearly had no idea how to turn King's lengthy book into one coherent movie, so they decided to make several incoherent ones, hoping something will stick."
-"Everything here is so clumsily handled that the creepy sensation of dread that infuses the early moments is quickly washed away on a tide of space slime and wearying exposition."
-"Somewhere between King's novel, the screenplay by William Goldman ... and Kasdan's shooting script, both character and metaphor have gone to the dogs, leaving a slew of fart and burp jokes."
- "... a roiling mess of a story ..."
-"An unholy mess that's nonetheless full of holes...a senseless hodgepodge of genre cliches."
- "The script is a narrative septic tank, underpinned by promising psychological ideas that get lost in irrelevant subplots..."
- "Dreamcatcher is Hollywood idiocy on a staggering scale."
And it goes on and on..
