There is something more in this...

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2008)

The Happening is a good movie! And not as bad as many people says. Not perfect, not super but still good. Better than the water girl. Much better. Shymalan's big problem is here, that he can't give us new story anymore. The plot is the same since Signs. This is the biggest problem with this movie. The actors are good for me. Maybe the acting is a little bit strange, not usually... but still works. Especially Mark Wahlberg was fine. I think the script was mot enough. The story was good, but the script I think is too small. There are some really scary scenes, and the cinematography works perfect. The score is good. James Newton Howard feels again what Shyamalan wants to say. So, with a better script and a longer movie and more time to finished completely the Happening could be a perfect work. But now it is a money pit. A little bit shame for Shymalan. I think he must think about these before his next idea! But I still believe him!
