Wanna see this movie? read this

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2013)

Did not read the book, but I probably will since I cannot believe that this is a good representation of a book by Mr King.
This movie has one of the worst dialogs I've seen so far, scene's are very poorly written and acting is just terrible (mainly 'cause of the bad scripting and writing). This pseudo religious theme hanging over it is ridiculous. The IMDb rating is insanely high. If you honestly like this movie.. well then thats your good right I guess, but I was about to say something different.
Here an excerpt:
Started out normal, first introduction of characters was a bit dull, noticeable was somewhat poor acting.
dialog between neighbors was poorly written, including in the car. But lets see how this turns out.
Then the scene in the supermarket. I don't know what people think of this, but it was horrible. Long, boring, ridiculous dialogs, and insane scripting. Some actors are able to act, but the dialog made them look horrible. scripting-wise; I don't understand who wrote this.
Funny moment was when protagonist went to the generator to shut it of and then hurt his hand or something and then fell and was just overall extremely clumsy. and does this scene lead to anything? no, totally unnecessary. why was he back there anyway? to get blankets? really he had no reason for being there.
Then they want to open the door to the mist they were all scared about not an hour ago. just to get the generator running (why, its daylight). So they just heard screaming, not an hour ago!! are they stupid? I mean I can imagine that they don't think there are monsters, but poisonous gas sure seemed like an option. Ahh what the heck, since our dialog is silly, lets just act that way to.
Then the just ABSURD dialog after the monster is beaten away. He starts punching some dude that more or less gave the young boy permission to go, which clearly was his(boy) own decision, but still somehow it was his(older store clerk) full responsibility and yeah the protagonist sure did everything in his power to stop him.. and lets not tell the others about it in case they missed all the screaming that went on for 5 minutes (just prior the protagonist acted surprised that the people in the store didn't hear the boinking on the garage door, while they were in the store) .. plot holes plot holes..
more bad acting, dialog and scripting.
"it appears we have a problem of some magnitude here"
more bad acting, dialog and scripting.
Everyone just looks apathetic to the weird dialog between a few
weird, long religious scene (the first of many to come)
bored army guys instantly take orders from protagonist.
oh snap! we gotta put in a quick romance scene which we lightly set up earlier 'cause this chick is gonna die in the NEXT SCENE!!
Shoot it! I cant Ill smash the window!.. what window would that be precisely? the smashed one?
Hattie OD-ed.. well OK, who was she again? do I know you?
CRAZY philosophical dialog about the nature of mankind (I was like OMG so deep). Apparently we as a species are fundamentally insane. mind you! FUNDAMENTALLY insane
My son is everything to me, I will protect him at all costs... but lets get some medicine for this guy who is obviously gonna die anyway
Hey we seem to be pretty safe here in this general store, we got food and supplies to last a very long time. Lets get out of here and face certain death! oh yeah thats because they assume the crazy lady is gonna need sacrifices.
Well what do you know, the crazy lady conspiracy turned out to be true. crazy rednecks all turn psycho within a day. Good to see the true heart of America at his best.
Lets cut in a long car scene with no dialog (thank god) and choose the worst misplaced song ever to carry it.
"Lets just see how far the tank takes us". WHY? please tell me why? I mean you have taken unnecessary risks multiple times and now you don't want to stop for gas? Seems relatively safe to do. You can even scout a bit first.
Oke out of gas, were not out of the mist yet. Lets go through our options. Nah lets kill ourselves right now. OK lets do it. Bang bang bang bang.
(at this moment I was thinking to myself: for the love of god don't let the mist dissolve now. its a crap ending but at least its an ending)
and of course within seconds the mist is gone and the army arrives. sigh sigh mega sigh!
the end. You know watched the movie.
1/10 deserved.
BTW The walking dead crew was on a break or something?
