M. Night, Where did you go wrong?

Rating: 4/10 (23 July 2008)

The Happening centers around.........oh crap I already forgot the characters names. That is how forgettable this movie is. I expected better from M. Night Shamalan (did I spell that right?) who directed The Sixth Sense, Signs, and Unbreakable. One of the main problems with this movie is almost all of the apocalypse movie clichés are followed, which makes for a very boring movie experience, and to make it worse, the movie contained almost to memorable scenes. All of the action in the movie consists of shots of trees and plants an then people killing themselves, and there weren't even any inventive or gory death scenes at all.
Overall this movie is clichéd and slightly boring. I'm not saying it is horrible though, there are many, many worse movies out there. I just would not recommend wasting time and money to see it unless you are extremely bored or happen to catch it on TV.
