Reaction: Very solid numbers. We kept the budget a bit low as we were not sure what the MPAA would rate it, but the PG-13 rating certainly helped the box office so it could appeal to the greater fanbase of the DC Comics Universe.
"Parts of the film are really interesting, but the thing might just be too strange and out there for the mainstream audiences required to appeal to for hit films. The casting was good, but the story didn't give enough to connect to. Maybe the characters will grow on me if there are sequels, but they don't provide much to latch onto here." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun
"Johnny Depp looks to continue his recent comeback following his strong supporting turn in Crimson. He gives Dream a real otherworldly feel, playing things a bit low-key, but his charisma is still present." - Glenn Magnus, Maxim
"The standard DC Comics Universe fans may be a bit taken aback by this stranger fantasy take on the universe. Then again, these are the same fans who have turned Swamp Thing and Constantine: The Hellblazer into hit, so I might be wrong there. Either way, this film was a good one and helped take the DC Comics Universe to strange new places." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow
