Reviews for Dragonfly
The undisputed king of the cornball concept, Kevin Costner has an uncanny aptitude for gravitating toward the dopiest projects in sight, but this time he's outdone himself.
02/26/07
Top Critic The screenplay credited to Brandon Camp, Mike Thompson and David Seltzer starts out with energy and substance, but reverts to time-filling repetition before it reaches the last-minute climax.
02/11/05
It's hard to take the weepy, oozing emotions of Kevin Costner's maudlin new film Dragonfly seriously.
02/25/04
If you're not expecting the second coming of Alfred Hitchcock ... Dragonfly is an agreeable way to pass the time.
01/07/04
The last act is a bit surprising, but just as by-the-numbers, and it's movies like this that give sentimentality a bad name. Costner's run of sorry films continues.
05/20/03
Costner's just a soggy slice of milquetoast here -- not bad, mind you, but not what you'd call a square meal, either.
03/10/03
'Dragonfly' tries to gather momentum by dipping into the box of tricks marked 'Shyamalan'.
02/13/03
Despite the film's aspirations to soul healing, its uplift remains mechanical, like an escalator's.
01/20/03
Muddled, melodramatic paranormal romance is an all-time low for Kevin Costner.
11/07/02
The movie is incapable of generating surprise...[it's] a snore-inducing tidal wave of New Age corn.
08/26/02
More dull than offensive, Dragonfly keeps Costner on screen for nearly every scene, which pretty much compounds the movie's boredom quotient.
08/09/02
Top Critic While the themes are supernatural, and there are some genuinely chilling moments. But Dragonfly works best as a romance and Costner carries the film well.
08/03/02
The movie's "flaws" were mitigated by the fact that Dragonfly hit me on an emotional level.
