Monsters invade Maine, everyone yells, no scares, audience is bored.

Rating: 1/10 (21 November 2007)

I cannot believe the rave comments I am reading on this board. This film would be laughably bad if it weren't so boring. The dialogue is downright ludicrous as were the clichéd characters. The Marcia Gay Harden character gets my vote for the most annoying character in a major movie ever. I can only imagine that the "twist" ending is there to compensate for the fact that everything that came before is extremely predictable with none of the "jumps" I had hoped for. So much of this movie is a steal from other movies -- Aliens, The Lottery, Them... You name it, it's in there. Sorry, but Stephen King is THE most overrated hack who ties in my book with M. Night Shamalayan (post the Sixth Sense). Not only is this 2 hours of my life I will never get back, but it is 2 of the most annoying hours I've spent in the theatre in a long time.
