The Happening

Has anyone seen this movie? Its probably the worst movie I have ever seen, ever.

I AGREE!!! DAMN IT I SHOULD HAVE READ THIS YESTERDAY:mad::mad: I went to see it last night and my God I felt like kicking the guy in front of me because I was sooooooooooo frustrated a film like this could even be allowed to air in cinemas:mad::mad::mad::mad:

SHITTEST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT'S THE TREES, feck OFF!!!!!:mad::mad:
 
Bloody-preachy-environmentalist-bullshit !!! What a waste of money, should have bought some old DVD's instead. Damn you Shyamalan, i once was a fan.
 
I watched that There Will be Blood last night which I also thought was immensley rubbish. Not sure this post should be in this thread mind, but I just wanted to tell someone.
 
What was so bad about it?

Please don't tell me that the trees start taking revenge on mankind.

I quite fancied watching it, but don't think I'll bother.
 
Shyamalan made very good films until the village.

That's about right. The Village was the first boring movie from him, and everything that followed has been getting worse and worse.

I was about to go and watch The Happening tomorrow with a bird, but will opt for other movie after reading reviews.
 
The funniest parts were the brutal deaths

some seem like they were stolen straight from metalocalypse
especially the zoo scene
 
Shit. Shit. Shit.

But hey, shit happens.
 
Shyamalan - worst director, ever.

Didnt think the directing was really bad
it was the storyline (which he wrote) that was god awful
the story itself and most of the dialog made me cringe

definitely becoming the most overrated writer ever

He's always been shit. Got lucky with Sixth Sense. Rest have been god awful.

You're too cynical for a Shyamalan movie, Spoonov.

Can't understand though how somebody would say Unbreakable is god awful and really mean it.

Because, it quite frankly was, god awful.

Sixth Sense was very good, but as Spoons has said, it seems he got lucky with that one as the rest have traversed the various levels of shite.
 
You've got to understand. I can't spot the god awfulness in it. I really can't.
What was it again?

Signs was worse, which is saying something. Probably the worst film I've ever seen.

I really enjoyed Signs. Don't know why, I guess I just liked the whole alien invasion theme told from the point of view of a family that don't know what's going on. Last scene with the alien in their living room is a bit shit, mind.

I was really looking forward to seeing "The Happening", since I liked Signs and the Sixth Sense and thought he might be getting back to his best. Trailers made it seem like it was nice and eerie, with no one really knowing what's going on.

After reading this, and some reviews online, I've decided it probably isn't worth seeing after all. Is it really the trees that are killing everyone? Really? Because that's fecking laughable.

The movie "Signs" in four easy steps:

Another crappy movie getting rave reviews. Unbelievable. The best thing about this movie was the score at the beginning during the credits, and only because the composer, James Newton Howard, ripped off Shostakovich's Chamber Symphony Op. 110a (check it out, Shostakovich's work is much cooler and often plagiarized in Hollywood; for more on plagiarized sound tracks, see the score to "Psycho").



This movie wouldn't have been so bad if it actually went somewhere. It was like a porno with no money shot. One of those slow motion soft-core Showtime specials that start out as being mediocre detective melodrama, but you keep watching any way because it's starring Shannon Tweed and you know there's going to be a shower scene but you know it's going to suck because some dude inevitably comes in and starts man handling her and the camera man does nothing but zoom up on his ass. That's exactly what "Signs" is like: the camera man zooming up on some guy's ass for two hours.

Don't see "Signs."

That explanation had me blurting out my coffee at work. Its funny because its true.
 
the starting of "signs" was actually good but it failed to deliver

I can't be arsed going into why it was awful, because I've mentioned it a few times, suffice to say it was nonsensical. But I don't mind films like that, most of David Lynch's films don't make much sense. . .but I've always enjoyed them that is, bar Inland Empire, which was an ordeal for me. Shamaylananan's films are puerile. I mean, interstellar aliens who can navigate their way around the world, need crop circles to travel around Earth. These aliens are allergic to water. . .yet didn't realise the Earth was 2/3s water. Sorry, I couldn't help it. Either this bloke's semi retarded or he's taking the piss.

Thats bollocks.

Bollocks.
