Field of Dreams (1989)

FANTASTIC MOVIE

I love Kevin Costner in any of his movies, I have seen them all and haven't found a bad one yet. He is a great actor and I also think he is a very good director. "Field of dreams" is just another perfect movie of his can't find anything bad to say about it, loved it! July 9, 2008

Field Of Dreams HD DVD

This movie started ok, remained somewhat slow thorugh the middle but had a powerful ending. It is a movie you can watch with your family. However, due to the lack of mental stimulation through out most of the movie, it is not a movie I can watch mutliple times. Once is enough. Therefore I give it 3 stars. June 27, 2008

Dreams

Every one should see this movie - If you have not, you are missing out on a very good well know and well done movie. A good family movie! The newer DVD has bonus footage that tells why the movie is still going strong after nearly 10 years. Let your iminagination go and see what you can dream of - Maybe it will come true for you if you let your dreams guide you. June 5, 2008

Sick to my stomach

I love baseball and have a great relationship with my father, yet found this to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

1. Ridiculously convoluted plot. It had promise for about 10 minutes then completely fell apart. Ease his pain? Seriously. What did Burt Lancaster's and James Earl Jones' characters have anything to do with the movie? Was Jones written into the plot just to spew off a few contrived lines about baseball? And the doctor "crossing the line" scene was a joke at best. The entire point of the plot was to somehow lead to father and son playing catch. Wow, what a creative, inspiring ending.

2. OVERACTING. Kevin Costner is a marginal actor at best, and the whiny frustrated farmer role is laughable in this movie. Should I laugh when he gets "frustrated" with the voice? And Busfield's rant/shake the daughter scene was pathetic. And the "Oh my god! Where did these ballplayers suddenly come from?" expression was priceless.

3. Cheesy. Tries way, way too hard to force the father-son-baseball-bonding theme down everyone's throat. If Jones or Costner or the doctor would have spouted off one more sappy line about baseball, I might have thrown up. But I guess some people like the overdramatic garbage.

After watching this movie with my dad, I felt bonded to him in that we were both cracking up laughing at just how bad the movie turned out to be. I had high hopes after Bull Durham, but they were shot down about 20 minutes into this stinker.

"Ease his pain." That just about sums it up. June 1, 2008
