QUOTE(Hunz @ Jun 16 2008, 05:38 PM) Its not that boring movie if you like sci-fi movies. I personally think the movie was alright It's quite interesting when finding the reason why the people are dying without reason. indirectly telling us about » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « environment danger In my opinion, the movie has more literature element in it. Elliot represent human kind. And the old woman in the last scene represent nature, where she always felt threatened by Elliot. She said Elliot is trying to kill her. Elliot try to steal something from her. Anyway, this is my conslusion. |

M Night Shyamalan has lost his Midas Touch. After "Lady In The Water", he should seriously rethink about making more thriller/horror/scary movies... The trailer is already so cheesy...  Believe it or not, its rated even worse than "Lady In The Water". Extremely dissapointed and frustrated... expected it to be at least better... "Lady In The Water" felt like a fairly big budget high-school amateur film makers made by a bunch of teen movie fanatics. This is another "move along, nothing interesting here" films of 2008. Unless you have absolutely nothing to do at home, very very bored and even a turkish film will make you happy - this one will work for you.

I saw DEAD PEOPLE!
DEAD PEOPLE - People who can't connect to the Movie .
Everybody in here thought this movie was about Mother Nature, Global Warming, Chemical Release from trees..Bla ! Bla!.. Mr M night Shakermalayan was right about DEAD PEOPLE wandering around this Earth.
The Happening has something to do with something we can't control, X-files type , something Phenomenal etc... It attack the Foreign Country in the end..
You guys still believe of the Global Warming like those people believe.. I can see how low People IQ is now.
the attack was done on Calculus and something extraordinary with the wind manage to break the patterns and control the situation until it dissapears when ZERO is attained...look beyond the movie. Don't listen to the absurd Scientist who thought that chemical of plant etc...

QUOTE(EightPhantomz @ May 28 2008, 11:11 AM) The Village is a crap movie? I LOVE that movie. I just dont get the 'felt cheated' complaint regarding the movie. The keyword for that movie is 'cheating'. The elders wants to escape the real 'bad' world so they create a world of their own, therefore, cheating the young ones to stay in the village and away from the real world. If u say, Lady In the Water as a crap movie, I'm half-agree on that. Heh. Ok maybe its just me since I'm a diehard fan of M. Night Shyamalan. I think he's one of the most brilliant directors out there. Some ppl might not like his style because u need to flex ur brain muscle to watch his movies. LOL. No the Village was bad in so many levels. Bad lazy writing where Shymalan just cheated the shit out of us with a stupid twist and we had to tolerate seeing his piss poor cameo. Do it subtly - not everyone wants to see you.  |

All the way till the end... feel like a very slow movie... as in human pace... no suspense or anything at all... just normal going...
Just have to agreed on his brilliant idea of the story... anyway is what shown in the movie possible ? a theory or just a tot up story ?

i personally love this movie. i think the reason why Night suffers in hollywood is because his movies are not hollywood-ish anymore.
i think he should get out from there and start making a more indie type of movie.
and i love the fact that the happening do not have much CGI, unlike lady in the water... that's the movie that was totally crap from him.
sometimes, the real deal could be a real let down. maybe we as a movie goers expect something extraordinary happening in the movie, as a form of escape from reality.
Night's movie is the other way round. like in the village and happening.

Personally.... I think this is a smaller-scale version of The Wars of the World.
No twist (unless you call "that" a twist).
No cameo from him (except his voice)
The relationship between the guy and his wife.... a joke. No feeling at all. The relationship between his wife and the daughter.... another joke.
The guy's wife is a bad choice of casting. Terrible... to my opinion.
Also, this time, Night tries hard to be preachy. Too bad.
Wish I have not bought the movie ticket.
