The book and movie of Dreamcatcher

[constantreader1313]

I have to say, even though I had a hard time finishing the book, the movie did not compare. I was watching closely and noticed it ran pretty close to the book until the whole betrayal of Kurtz by Underhill. After that it seemed to speed up considerably and alot of the details were completely left out that I thought were important. I did think it was cool that the setting of 'The Hole in the Wall' was exactly how I saw it in my mind. Also, the office that Jonesy was stuck in in his mind was pretty much how I pictured it as well.
All in all, like people have posted before, the book is always better because our imaginations are better than someone else's interpretation.
But that's just me....

All in all, not a bad adaptation. Green Mile was far better, but I was completely baffles how they would do the mind thing. I mean I get that we all have ways of thinking, but the library like mind with the massive amounts of info, that was phenominal. I would have liked it more if you had some better graphics, but Hollywood can never do a perfect King apadptation. That's one reason I love to read King so much. He truly allows the reader to imagine. Overall DC is OK, but always, always, always read the book first and last.

I hated the movie & have not read the book – And hear the funny thing is – I know I'm going to love the book because I know my own imagination will bring this story to life in a way I won't be able to complain about how things look – which was my main issue with DREAMCATCHER.
