So, yesterday, I watched The Happening. I was really dissapointed when I didn’t get to see it in the theatre, because it looked like a really good movie. It had lots of my favorite things in it.. M. Night Shyamalan, Mark Wahlburg, and horror. See.. lots of my favorite things. When I watched it yesterday, I was SOOOOOO glad that I didn’t spend 20$ to see it at the theatre. (20$ ? You might be asking.. yes.. 10$ for the ticket and 10$ for the candy. Sheesh)
The script is crappy (but Wahlburg has a couple decent lines, all of them comedic), the plot is crappy ( unknown force making people kill themselves while not so bright 10th grade science teacher tries to find out why), it’s all around not a good movie. When the movie is over, you sit there wondering wether you just watched something real, or imagined the whole thing.. but then you look over at the clock, realized an hour and a half HAS actually passed, and sigh.
I was really dissapointed. So I gave it a 2, and wrote it on the list of movies that I didn’t really like, but would watch at 3am if I couldn’t sleep and there was nothing else on tv.
i think M. Night Shyamalan should stop trying a different style of war of worlds. how many movies has he done where the film follows a group of people through a catasropic event. this movie could havew done a lot beter with a better plot and some better supporting cast. my climax of the movie was i think 10 min in or less where the construction workers jump off the building
