Don't over-analyze this movie, otherwise you won't like it!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (9 October 2008)

I can't believe all the negative reviews this movie is having. And it baffles me when I read comments that over-analyzes the movie, saying "this is not possible", "that is not likely to happen", etc. First, it's a MOVIE, second, it's a FICTIONAL movie. If you start looking at movies that way, you're going to be left out with not much to enjoy. Doesn't anyone know how to enjoy a movie anymore? Have fun watching it? Can anyone see a deeper meaning, an image of what someone has to say anymore? Oh and why exactly a movie absolutely NEEDS a twist? Because it doesn't necessarily.
Maybe people has come to expect too much of Shyamalan. I guess that happens when you make an awesome movie early in your career. And probably the fact that I wasn't expecting much of The Happening based on all the negative reviews, helped me enjoy it. But nonetheless, I enjoyed this movie. No, it's not as good as others he's made, but it's far from his worse. The acting was decent (I've seen much MUCH worse), and I really liked the few shocking sequences (unfortunately, it seems that a lot of people has become too used to seeing shocking things, and therefore did not find those sequences very shocking, unlike I did). And the soundtrack is absolutely wonderful, enchanting.
So basically, if you think of watching this movie, keep in mind to not expect too much, and just sit back and enjoy it. I think you will come out of it finding it wasn't THAT bad.
