The Happening
« on: October 13, 2008, 10:15:30 AM »
Just watched it.  One of the worst movies I've seen this year.  The acting was terrible.  The plot was dumb.  It was boring.  The gore added nothing.  A complete waste of 90 minutes.

Rented this movie the other night.  It had lots of potential but ended up going nowhere.

Like most films, this movie was probably shown to test audiences before it was "finished."  I'm surprised it made it to theaters in its final form.  :(

The acting was so bad I almost thought it was intentional, as some sort of joke or something.

Watched it for about 30 minutes and just couldn't put myself through any more.

Surprisingly, I remember it being reviewed fairly well by Ebert.

Thousands of people committed suicide right there in the theatre while this movie was showing.
