The Happening

by rebelii • 5 Jul 2008, 16:12 • Journals
Was Ok till the end...

Ended too brutaly and leaves you hungry for MOAR.

All I can say is the actress got the prettiest eyes I've ever seen :o

Hesitating which movie to download now:

Hancock
Wanted
Other movie? (State which, must be recent and preferably Action, Suspense (The Happening-like kind of suspense) , Funny or racing. Yes, my brain is OFF during weekens so I'm not interested by romance or intellectual movies.)

Danke schön

Hancock is pretty enjoyable. If you like Will Smith and a some action + funny dialogs, go for it.

I didn't like the end tho...

Ok thanks ! I'll check it ;)

But I don't really understand what's the movie about when i see the trailer on television.. :x He is a superhero or something? but he's a bad guy or what?

Ye he is a superhero but not really a bad guy. At the beginning he is just a fucked up superhero who is "helping" the police thats the most funniest in the movie. But I don't want to spoiler you :P

You're kidding right? Out of the 400-500 movies I've rated on IMDB this is the only movie I've given a 2. It's the worst movie I have _ever_ seen.

butchji 5 Jul 2008, 17:21
Why giving a 2 then?
Parent
▼
Kristoffersson 5 Jul 2008, 17:24
Because it's not a 1? My rating is not based on the other ratings I've given. I only got four 10s which makes up 1% of my list.

Have you seen open water? Probably the worst movie I've paid to see, next to the happening.

butchji 5 Jul 2008, 17:31
How can it be the _worst_ movie you've ever seen then? The rating from one to ten is supposed to be your personal impression of the movie. One is the worst and ten is the best. Don't you agree? :)

I have my own view on what a rating 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and a 10 is. This was a 2. :) It's really hard to create a 1, lets say they made The Happening with C-actors or kids in all the roles. That might create a so-bad-so-its-funny-movie. However, The Happening but with no effects, bad sound and worse camerawork would probably be a 1.

Because he's never seen a 1 and wants to keep some space left for Disaster Movie.

Worst high budget movies:
Spawn (1997)
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
The Happening (2008)

The Da Vinci Code sucked balls indeed, the book was ok, but the movie... Please.

Got any idea of "Action, Suspense (The Happening-like kind of suspense) , Funny or racing. Yes, my brain is OFF during weekens so I'm not interested by romance or intellectual movies.)" movies I could watch today :< ?

A funny, fast and action packed movie without any intellectual demands would be "Shoot 'Em Up" I guess.

You might want to kick me in the balls for it, but I enjoyed both Spawn and The DaVinci Code. I might have to add that I like Spawn in general, not saying I'm a huge fan but it's a solid action movie. You get what you expect, some random gun firing, weird, freaky characters and a bit of black humor. For The DaVinci Code there is to say the novel itself isn't much more than a mediocre conspiracy story and you might argue that in the movie Tom Hanks is too much of a "I look at the puzzle and the solution jumps right into my face"-superhero, but well, that's what he's in the book, too. I think it's just like Spawn a decent adaption for some nobrained weekends.

The Happening is probably the worst movie I ever paid for to watch it. (Yes, even Primeval was A LOT better)

Just one hour later I watched Hancock and I can't say it was much better. It's entertaining for about 45 minutes. Jokes get repeated, the trailer pretty much showed the whole movie already, so you knew what's gonna happen. The attempt to combine 3-4 genres into one movie failed horribly. If it wasn't Will Smith but some random actor, it would be even worse. (Not as bad as The Happening still, though)

21 is pretty good, eventhough it's new movie.
▼
DIGITALISM 5 Jul 2008, 17:33
21 has the same shitty Hollywood ending as Passion Of The Christ where Caviezel in the end turns superhero and comes back to life.
