worst movie ever!!! horrible i was laughing at how bad the acting and story line was! If u want a good laugh go here..stupid boring and TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohh my god.. this was the worst movie ever !! I didn't even know a movie could suck this bad!
No matter how bad this movie is, it's still 100x better than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
worst movie ever! don't waste your time watching it. acting was brutal, story line itself was stupid amd the ending didn't make too much sense. i give it a 1 star.
It sucked. Sixth Sense was so much better. I won't pay to go to another M. Knight movie. I was really surprised Mark Walberg took this role. I will read the reviews first on his next movie too.
I liked this movie i found it entertaining... its wierd and not a big twist like most of his movies but you'll cringe and laugh
horrible movie. acting is brutal and so is shyamalan
Good suspense but story is not relatable.
Stupid and boring. A rental at best.
The approx 20 minutes with Betty Buckley was the best of the movie. Skip the rest!
I gave it one star because you can't give 0 stars. Total waste of time this movie is.
For Shame!!!! Writing and story were bad enough but my god what bad acting. They should all never work again.
I'm a huge fan of both Mark Wahlberg and Shyamalan so I saw this movie in spite of all the crappy reviews. Turns out I should have listened. This is easily one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. Zooey whatever her name is needs some acting classes. The movie is more of a comedy than a thriller which isn't good since that isn't the intention. Definitely wait until it comes out on TV.
brutal, turned into an environmental movie
This movie was begging for some Bollywood-style singing and dancing sequences. It would have been priceless as a musical punctuated by all the gruesome suicide and one-dimensional relationship banter.
ok in places...plot was very underdeveloped..shamyalan can do much better then this...wait for the video
WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a load of garbage, this is more like a comedy than a horror movie. Avoid at all costs!!
Based on the old Supremes hit of the same name, The Happening delivers; it's great!
I could really empathize with the characters in this movie...I too wanted to kill myself halfway through the film.
If I have had more excitement sitting in a hospital emergency waiting room for 5 hours to have a splinter removed out of my behind. Truly a SLEEPER!!!! If you can't take sleeping pills or aren't able to fall asleep after downing a gallon of alcohol...this would work. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEE...if you are even slightly tempted to see this movie...WAIT TO RENT IT.
In spite of having an interesting concept and being packed with disturbing scenes, this movie didn't work for me. It's one of those movies that you give the benefit of the doubt and expect it to get better, but it just leaves you dissapointed. I've always thought that Mark Walberg was an OK actor, never giving us a remarkable performance, but this is downright comical and not in a good way. I think you could have picked any one of the dim-wits from the "The "Hills" and they would have given an equal performance. Now I realize why I haven't seen him doing any press for the film. It's one that he'll want to erase from his resume.
If you think grass blowing in the breeze is scary, this is the movie for you! We walked-out. If I had to guess, the budget for this movie would be about $20.05 (5 cents for some stuffed dummies they tossed - off a roof).
it has it's moments. comedy performance from mark walburg
I would give it 0 stars if I could. I can not recall any big screen movie as bad as this one. And I feel really bad saying this because I love Shyamalan's movies... but here, the acting was bad, the dialogues even worse. The plot was boring and most of the actions dumb and not understandable (e.g. having the windows open all the time even if they know about the toxins...??)
I don't know why everyone is so upset about this movie...sure it's not a Spielberg action packed thrill-ride, but it's very original. I guess I'm the only one sick of all the CGI effects that Hollywood is pumping out at us!!!
The few bright spots could not make up for the overall bad acting (with the exception of Walberg) and even worse script.
I've never seen a movie this bad in my life! right from the begining it sucked! at first I thought, oh well it'll get better... but it got worse! and it had the worst ending too! horrible!nothing sucks more than paying to see a movie that sucked!
The plot was really dumb but they did well for a stupid plot. little disturbing at times though 2/5 stars
I have to agree with over 50% of the people here. The entire theatre walked out feeling extremely dissapointed watching this movie. It's probably M Night's worst film and rather than be entertaining or trying to make you think, it basically just leaves most with a generally disturbed feeling, a bad taste in your mouth and $20 poorer for your time. If you truly do want to see this movie, wait for it on video, at least you'll only throw away $6 of your money.
BEST MOVIE EVER. EVERYONE ELSE IS LYING.
Pretty good - better than "Lady in the Water".
Absolutley one of the worst movies I have ever seen. One of those movies to watch when your really hungover and plan on sleeping the day away! 1 star cause Mark is still cute. Acting was a joke.
This movie is turning into an urban legend on how terrible it actually is. I think it may actually develop a cult following - people will not fully believe how simply awful it is and go see it - it will be a perpetual cycle of horrible-ness. Yes, that's not a word, but then again, this is not a movie. It's poop.
WORST MOVIE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! I WANT MY *@#*#*() MONEY BACK!
this movie was terrible. I feel as though I lost an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. I would have fallen asleep if everyone around wasn't laughing at the terrible acting and script.
M.Night should not spread himself so thinly. The movie The Happening....had not much happening. What a waste of talent.
2 stars because Mark Walhburg tried to make it believable.
The Happening is NOT happening. Worst movie I have EVER seen in my life.
I went expecting the worse - but actually enjoyed it. Judge for yourself... I never go by others reviews!!
Someone should pay this guy to STOP thinking he's good at directing and making movies. I am not sure who funds his project but this HAS TO stop.
TERRIBLE NO STORY LINE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY
I really liked it. It really makes you think about what we are doing to our world. Very creative and scary. But please, makeover Mark Wahlberg's hair. he looks like a dweeb!
GAAHHH!! The worst Movie I have ever seen!!.. Its was even worse then that meet the spartans crap...and I didnt think anything could be worse then that movie...But this one takes the prize...DONT GO SEE IT!! SOOOO BAD!!
if i could have given it a half star rating i would have!!!!! the exposition in this movie was terrible!!! the writing was completely amateur i feel bad for the actors
If I could have given it 0 stars, I would have. The only thing positive I can say was at least it wasn't aliens. However, it was just plain terrible. I wish I could get my 2 hours as well as the money I spent back!
I LOVED this movie. Yes, it is a little politically charged, as it is a commentary on our environmental impact (I can see why those who deny our severe negative impact on the environment will not like this movie). Yes, the chances of it happening are astronomical. But really, this movie terrified me for a number of reasons. The music fit absolutely seamlessly with the movie, its sheer "everyday" realism (typical of Shayamalan), and the speed of the "happening". And yet, in the midst of chaos, there is some quirky humor. This movie was so good on the big screen I want to see it a second time.
WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!
All as i have to say is if i could ask for a refund I would have! Complete waste of time & money! I didn't walk out only because i paid for it!
This movie was a complete waste of time & $! I luv Marc Wahlberg but not in this movie.
