(1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 6% Rotten Page   1   "'Dragonfly' dwells on crossing-over mumbo jumbo, manipulative sentimentality, and sappy dialogue."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3/10 "A moldy rehash of supernatural thrillers that have come before."   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "A journey of unimaginable tedium"   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null "Kevin Costner's new vehicle is not just bad, but somehow, simultaneously preposterous and banal."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/4 "A supernatural mystery that doesn't know whether it wants to be a suspenseful horror movie or a weepy melodrama. It ends up being neither, and fails at both endeavors."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman .5/4 "Possibly the most maudlin horror film ever made, Dragonfly spells out its scares and faith-speak as if it were lecturing from atop Mt. Sinai."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez D+ "I'm not sure which half of Dragonfly is worse: The part where nothing's happening, or the part where something's happening, but it's stupid."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "Really, it's not so dire."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 1.5/4 "One would have trouble trying to definitely pin down Kevin Costner's penchant for appearing in piffle-minded cinema...this unbalanced and emotionally-charged spookfest cannot overcome the tearjerking triteness and cockeyed contrivances"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "Mawkish, manipulative and phonily uplifting...a very shallow and insubstantial picture."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Beautifully conveys how great gifts can be hidden in death and how they can bear fruit in our lives if we only have the patience and the faith to let them unfold. "   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "The dragonfly is a sleek, graceful insect that doesn't deserve to have its reputation sullied by being associated with this pile of offal."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 1.5/4 "wears its desperation on its sleeve by doing anything it can to try to scare and confuse you before reassuring you that it has all been in the spirit of New Age-y pietism"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1/5 "Muddled, melodramatic paranormal romance is an all-time low for Kevin Costner."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/10 "... like a clever idea in concept, but unfortunately falls flat on its face."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "Seen in a million other movies before, but done much better, with better actors, better stories and better twists and turns."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/10 "Dragonfly is predictable squared and crammed full of laughably bad dialogue, with every 'frightening' moment coming directly from the dog-eared Textbook of Film Horror."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 1/4 "Easily the worst film I've seen all year."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest D+ "I screamed out, "What are you trying to tell me about this movie?" Just then, a milky white liquid landed on the windshield of my car."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll D "employs cheap trickery in place of real thrills"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 6.5/10 " El Director paga su novatez en el área de los dramas y nos entrega un producto que puede ser clasificado como mediano."   Cinenganos   Luis Martinez 1.5/4 "Mistakenly, all about the payoff."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "It's despicable in the same way that TV psychic John Edward is, preying on anguish and plastering it over with a Band-Aid."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/4 "Costner can indeed act and be an appealing star. One wonders, though, based on his recent work, if Costner himself has forgotten how to hold the screen. "   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 "The movie's "flaws" were mitigated by the fact that Dragonfly hit me on an emotional level."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/5 "It is dreary, it is boring, and worst of all, it is phony."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "It could have been a much meatier film in less insipid hands."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "'Dragonfly' is a movie about a bus wreck that turns into a film wreck."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten D "Shoot the director, the writers and the star for this turkey."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 48/100 "It plods along methodically, somehow under the assumption that its “dead wife communicating from beyond the grave” framework is even remotely new or interesting."   Apollo Guide   Scott Weinberg C+ "Alternates from marginally predictable to mildly engrossing."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "There are deeply religious and spiritual people in this world who would argue that entering a church, synagogue or temple doesn't mean you have to check your brain at the door. The same should go for movie theaters."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek C- "Thinks it is being boldly counter-cultural… when in fact its vague spirituality is the very picture of today's credulous do-it-yourself religiosity."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 3/10 "Appealing to those who call Madame Cleo for psychic readings and truly believe that TV's John Edwards 'crosses over.'"   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 1/4 "To paraphrase a good Costner film, Dragonfly has a million-dollar cast, but I have a good idea about its ten-cent head."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Word of mouth will make this "Dragonfly" an endangered species."   Light Views   John Larsen  (1 - 36) of 36 OFCS Rating: 6% Rotten Page   1
