Summary: Spiritual Thriller
Review: In Dragonfly, Kevin Costner's character becomes a widower and soon discovers that even though he does not believe in life after death, his dead wife is trying to reach him. The movie is spooky in parts, but not an evil spooky. The mystery of why his dead wife needed to reach him and seeing his character open his mind in light of events happening to him made this movie intriguing. The ending was absolutely wonderful.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: SLOW LY FADING AWAY........
Review: What is happening with Kevin? If one has to be honest, Kevin Costner's last really amazing film was the 1990 Dances with wolves, with strong characters, a good plot and a quite interesting romantic undertone. After that movie,winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Kevin Costner seems a bit lost lately.
This Dragonfly contraption is not only sloooooow, and sthereotypically acted, but also dwells with a bad script.
To the reviewers that see good acting by Costner in this flick, I would suggest some 101 acting lessons, in order to judge not based upon the movie star status, but on real substance.......

Summary: WORST MOVIE 2002
Review: WHAT'S THE BEST MOVIE OF 2002 - YEAH, PANIC ROOM. WHAT'S THE WORST MOVIE OF 2002 - YEAH, DRAGONFLY. IT SHOULD EARN THE RAZZY AWARD FOR THE WORST MOVIE AND THE WORST ACTOR COSTNER. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST MEDICORE SUPERNATURAL THRILLERS I'VE EVER SEEN! THE PLOT IS SO FANTASTICLY RIDICULOUS AND KEVIN COSTNER PROVES HE CAN'T ACT. THE ENDING OF THE STORY IS AS ABSURDE AS WATCHING THIS MOVIE. PLEASE IF YOU DON'T HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO WATCH, STILL DON'T WATCH THIS!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: dump, boring and pointless
Review: This movie really couldn't figure out what it wanted to be... ...It tries so hard to be a tearjerker with some shocking moments. Like when the kid wakes up or the dead man speaking scene. Sappy with out the emotional connection to the characters, weak plot with loose ends, B-rated shock scenes, and no character development. ... Hope this saves a buck or two.

Summary: How bad can a movie be?
Review: This movie was about the worst movie I've seen all summer. It had a pretty good storyline, and a few exciting jump scenes, but mostly kept you wishing it would end so you could leave and go do something that's worth doing. Costber delivered a very bad performamce.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice ending, but that can't make up for everything else!
Review: Costner is a grieving widower who believes his deceased wife is trying to contact him. Supernatural drama from the director of Patch Adams (gah) is pretty dull and silly in execution, with some good ideas, but mostly poorly executed. The finale is surprisingly pretty good, with a twist ending that actually works, but can't make up for everything else that's so lackuster. Costner's okay here, acting the same way he usually does in all his films.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dragonfly (Im Zeichen Der Libelle), 2002
Review: I'm a big Kevin Costner, but this is his worst movie (even worse than Postman and Waterworld). It is the most predictable film you'll ever see: You know that the children will give him messages, you know that that strange bird will announce his dead wife's arrival, and when the big surprise comes at the end, you just don't care anymore. Kevin does his usual part, the director(let's not waste time saying his name) has the Reader's Digest idea of what suspense is, and the writer wrote things like: "Por favor, go home, senor". Do they really believe that we, lateinamericans, speak like that(in Spanish)? I am very sorry that Mr. Costner hasn't had a hit in a while, but it is also a shame that his name is in such a horrible and medicore film like this one. Watch The Postman again, at least that one had great views and it was funny(I'm not sure if on purporse), this Dragonfly is just shameful.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: There is one word that describes this movie: garbage!
Review: Why? I'll tell you:

1. A script that xould have been written by a random cliche generator.
2. Godawful acting by everyone involved. You could actually see some of the more talented actors questioning why they were in this movie as they delivered their wooden, dead lines.
3. Nauseating cinematography. And completley inept direction.
4. A plot so obvious and boring, that I would rather slowly cut my own fingers off with a rusty spoon than watch this movie again.

Summary: No suspense, no drama, no talent. Save your money, and switch on Lifetime instead to get your weepy fix.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No, it isn't the worst movie ever, but....
Review: "Dragonfly" for all it's attempts at touching our hearts and our hidden fears, is little more than director Tom Shadyac's brain-numbing recipe that essentially tosses elements of "The Sixth Sense"(one of the best movies ever), "The Others"(a masterpiece), "Angel Eyes"(bad movie) and "The Haunting"(one of the worst movies ever) into a blender and hits puree. It's a cross between a thriller and a human drama, one so confident that it's style and shocks will mask it's blatantly unoriginal story, that the ebd, all we feel it cheated out of time and money.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pure and Simple.
Review: The first minutes are okay, but then it goes really fast down hill. The last minutes of the movie are incredibly ridiculous that I found myself laughing out loud. It's more a Lifetime Channel-Movie.
