Same to the cliché title....

Absolutely truly, THE HAPPENING IS NOT HAPPENING.
M. Night Shyamalhan (sp) lost his freaky spunk after Signs. This was quite a good idea. What if nature turned on us? By why make it so boring? Add more suspense, and less of Zooey Deschanel's big eyes every few seconds.
Mark Wahlberg is always pleasant and awesome actor in my opinion, but I hate him for accepting this crap. He did well with what he had to work with. The cast isn't that bad with John Leguizamo and his daughter in the film Ashlyn Sanchez are great, & Spencer Breslin is great to see (last I remember was The Kid).
I don't understand the R-rating. They were maybe 2 gruesome scenes at most, involving a man impaling himself with a lawnmower & a guy getting his arm ripped off by a lion. Two kids did get brutally shot with a shotgun as well, but nonetheless, a R-rating? Please.
Enough of my ranting, I am just disappointed in M. Night Shyamalhan for wasting my time.
