The Happening

[Kuya]

Well, i'm going to the movies this week to go see a movie with friends, but i'm torn between a few, this movie is one of them, but i've heard pretty bad things about the movie just not pulling through with it's intentions. I find that i tend to like pretentious movies that are well done and hold some mistery, i did like The Village even though opinions were mixed about it, so i'm not too sure whether i should see this one. I really want to like it, because it looks like it might be a good film, but i rather not spend money on it if it's really going to be that shitty. So i guess i'm waiting until others go and see it. >_>

Let the M. Night Shamamamamamamammaala hate fest commence.

Below is the twist ending for this film. If you do not want it spoiled then do not reveal the spoiler!

[spoiler:dupsfsxh]Mother Nature is taking reveng on Humanity by having all the earth's vegetation release a neurotoxin. The toxin causes any human that comes into contact with it to commit suicide (usually violently.) All of the characters try to hide from this toxin in vast fields, gardens and forests, rather than locking themselves in air-tight buildings. You can tell when evil is afoot when the camera focuses on the wind russeling the leaves of plants and trees.[/spoiler:dupsfsxh]

After reading some of those reviews it appears most never liked any of his films. I doubt they will influence my decision much, or I'll just go to watch-movies.net.

Who in their right mind could have like Lady in the Water?

I dunno, I liked it.

[Azalee]

Lady in the Water was dreadful to watch.

I have a really open mind when it comes to films, but this was just terrible.

What a twist!

Seriously. Thanks for letting me know that I shouldn't see it. Can't wait for the next season of Robot Chiken now.

The twist is not what ruins the movie, the concept is well done, but the execution is done horribly, the acting is apperently bad, and the movie just doesn't make the plot "work", or so this is the jist of what i'm getting from some reviews.

I don't really get why people complain about the twists, it's not that what really ruins his movies, it's the way in which he works continuity and puts his ideas to practice where he fucks it up.

[Royal]

But i thought Mark Wahlberg could do no wrong!

[Weltall]

I liked all of his movies except Lady in the Water. You must have had a needle in your arm while watching that movie to have enjoyed it...

[Warudo Ecksu]

just go see kung fu panda. it pretty much owned

I'm apearantly one of the few in the universe who thought Lady in the water was awesome.

I really enjoy most of M. Night shamalalalahingha's films. In fact, the one I liked least was his breakthrough to the big public, The Sixth Sense, which felt gimmicky at the end. All his films balance so well on the edge of honest drama and often despair in the main characters and their often tragic history, that the intwined fantasy or mystery elements work really well for me. I really liked the character of Bruce Willis in Unbreakable and Paul Giamatti in Lady in the water, as they really seem to need the 'miracle' that happens to them, but are reluctant to give into it throughout the movie. I can see why people don't like them much though, as it's hard to combine the often harsh reallity pieces with fantasy elements.

Anyway, really looking forward tot his movie. I often check out other people's reviews to get an idea if I should go see a movie, but I really won't think that will work this time around.

I liked Lady In The Water

[recuperi]

This movie had the most retarded advertising I've ever seen. Previews show absolutely nothing about the movie itself, just talking about it's his first R-rated movie ._. Guy must be full of himself or something
