Consensus: Sappy, dull, and muddled, Dragonfly is too melancholic and cliched to generate much suspense.
Reviews for Dragonfly
Top CriticThe 'surprise' ending is as predictable as it is a long time coming.
01/26/06
Top CriticAbysmal film that’s an embarrassment to all concerned.
10/30/02
It could have been a much meatier film in less insipid hands.
08/12/02
Now I can see why people thought I was too hard on "The Mothman Prophecies".
06/10/02
Though Tom Shadyac's film kicks off spookily enough, around the halfway mark it takes an abrupt turn into glucose sentimentality and laughable contrivance.
05/21/02
Top CriticNeither spooky nor otherworldly.
11/20/08
What Costner and everyone else is in constant danger of is spouting some awful dialogue.
04/14/07
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
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
Gad—does anybody have a really big fly swatter?
02/08/03
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
Mistakenly, all about the payoff.
09/14/02
The movie is incapable of generating surprise...[it's] a snore-inducing tidal wave of New Age corn.
