Query: I bought it; stupid me.

I was really looking forward to this movie, since Dreamcatcher is my favorite Stephen King novel. Kasden, Freeman, Sizemore...how could you go wrong. Well, I wish I had rented instead of purchased. The characters are very shallow in the movie, a byproduct of making a huge King novel into a two hour flick. The characters in the book are what makes the read so compelling. Without the depth of the characters the movie becomes a paint-by-numbers exercise.The aliens look slick in the film which is a plus. The acting is good by everyone involved. The rest of the film is thin. Even if I hadn't been a fan of the book I would still be disappointed by this movie.Save yourself some money and rent this one if you really need to see it.
