Not to bad!

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2008)

I think a lot of people are giving this movie a bad reputation because they expect so much from M. Night. The Sixth Sense is a movie that comes around once. You can't expect M. Night to make tons of movies as good as The Sixth Sense.
First, he's not trying to scare you, he's trying to give you a good story. The Happening is not only original, but it is also a well thought out story. There's never been a movie about a toxin causing people to kill themselves. At first the plants may seem to be a stupid "villian" in the story, but facts are given to make it seem more reasonable.
The acting was a hot topic in this particular movie. Mark Wahlberg had questionable acting, but Ms. Deschanel is definitely a good actress. I think the acting in this movie is more natural. It's more real life and not "drama, drama, drama" as you see in other movies. You would think of it as real acting!
