Pathetic, pointless & waste of time !!!

Rating: 2/10 (26 December 2010)

This is the first time EVER i am reviewing anything and this is the movie that has made me do it.
I had high hopes from this movie as it comes from such a wonderful director but i failed to understand what Mr. Frank Darabont was thinking when he made this movie, this movie is very much like "The Happening" (which goes without saying was another terrible movie from an esteemed director, M. Night Shyamalan) only worse.
There are so many irritating characters with irritating acting (e.g. Marcia Gay Harden, Andre Braugher, William Sadler & the list goes on & on), the whole acting & the story is very predictable and average, the plot is weak & monotonous, unnecessarily slow & you end thanking God when the movie finishes. It's one of those bizarre movies which you wished you hadn't watched.
Now, I can't compare it with the novel it is based on as i have never read a novel in my entire life but i do know as a fact that Stephen King is an excellent writer & Frank Darabont is an excellent director. The formula of combining these two has worked perfectly well in the past two instances in the shape of The Shawshank Redemption & The Green Mile but when it comes to the "The Mist" it has been a total disaster.
Fellas' regardless of all the wonderful ratings & the good comments of this movie i have given it 2/10 as it fails to meet even half of what was expected from it and i'd seriously and honestly suggest that you do not waste time on this. Peace !!!
