The audience was laughing out loud. LOL 1 of 10

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2007)

The first hour was a snore, and then it just got dumber and dumber. The preaching lady was symbolic of Christian fundamentalists and really made fools of them. Only Christian-bashing is allowed these days. Imagine if it were the Koran they were mocking instead of the Bible. Stephen King would have to go into hiding like Salmon Rushdie did. The token Black was a total moron and an anarchist. He was so stupid that I could see Al Sharfton getting on his bandwagon about this one. Bring out his soapbox. How can Hollywood dare to bring back the stupid Black stereotype without complaints? The dialog was moronic and banal. The characters were so farcical that the audience was laughing at them and their lines. It was something to do, at least, because nothing was happening for the first hour. Then those stupid mechanical insects showed up. Kill them with burning mops! This movie was just so dumb that it really hurt to watch it. The Crawling Eye (1958) was much better. Only the last five minutes of The Mist is credible. That's all I'll say about that. If you think the good user comments about this film are real, you are in for a BIG disappointment. I am not kidding...the audience was laughing at the film. I was starting to think it was supposed to be a comedy. It is. It's a future cult-classic. Go and LOL.
