The Happening
 

(If there's already a thread on this, sorry!)

I saw it last Saturday with my parents and I was the only one who liked it!
I thought that the story was very unique, the way that it was executed was well done and the scares were well planned!

What do you all think of it?

Worst movie I've seen in a very very long time.

"Cheese and Crackers"
I was really looking forward to seeing this film and so treated myself on Friday the 13th and went to see it.
I think I am undecided.
I liked the plot and some of the deaths were good.
The general idea is scary I mean you don't even know what your running/hiding from. However there was too much boring romance and the ending was terrible, predicable and over done.
Interesting and funny characters where lost and we were left with the boring ones. Had a good start but quickly went down hill.
Not the most terrible film ever but definitely disappointing.

SPOILER ALERT

This reminded me of The Village. In that there is alot of hype about the movie coming out, creepy looking preview with creepy music. You see it and are like what the fuck that looks brutal. The movie starts off and all of these crazy scenes and possibilities about what is going on in your mind. The excitement builds. then when you discover what is going on and you're like "oh". The village was complete garbage. Yes, this movie had great potential and then you get a lame possibility as to why things are happening. You get to watch Mark Wahlberg acting badly and his emotionless wife. This said the death scenes were good. It should have been R rated so we could see people actually blowing their heads off. It has potential to be better. I would be curious to know if he will make a sequel. Get rid of the stupid plant theory and make it something more sinister. The movie was very average.

Horror movie
 

The movie was not even good or bad. It was just O.K. The direction was good. But the heroin's acting was very poor. Why don't the directors go for some thrilling concepts to make a better movie?

Didn't we do this 2 weeks ago? :rolleyes:

Does anyone else hate when films have titles like this "The Happening". I don't know how to explain why I hate them, dunno why I hate them in the first place, but I do. Anyone else?

My personal pet peeve for this film is that the ads were so fucking good. Shamalamalan should have used the same editor in his films as he does in his trailers.

It was R-rated. That was actually the selling point in most of the TV ads.

I was looking forward to this movie because I like most of M. Night's work (with the exception of the last half of The Village and 98% of Lady in the Water). That being said, I can't even give it an "average" rating. I reserve that for movies I didn't really expect anything from in the first place, and I expected a whole lot more from The Happening than what I got.

I just hate when titles lie..
