The Happening is a waste of perfectly good film

Rating: 1/10 (18 October 2008)

This movie is quite possibly the worst movie I have seen this year. I give M. Night Shyamalan some credit for making Signs and The Sixth sense, but this was amazingly awful. The dialogue is the weirdest I've heard in a long time, the plot is convoluted, and the acting is just plain terrible. I can only say that M. Night has some talent because he is able to convince studios to keep giving him money to direct these movies even after they've seen his other ones. And how is he able to direct the actors to act so badly? Mark Wahlberg should know better. Afterall, he is the producer of Entourage. I wonder if M. Night actually talks the way he writes his movies. If so, I hope to never, EVER talk to him. Overall, this movie, like most of his other movies, is a waste of people's lives. I want to kick the producers in the nuts for giving the green light to this movie.
