The Happening...

I'm not one of those assholes to indulge in the plot and spoil the entire movie and/or ending. I'm not even going to say not to go see it if you really want to, but I was really unimpressed.
Although M. Night Shyamalan set a high bar for himself with his previous movies because of his ways to twist plots at the very end, the majority of his movies have been pretty good. Hell, I didn't necessarily favor Lady in the Water, but it also wasn't the worst movie I had ever seen. This just wasn't nearly up to par with his previous work. Plus Mark Whalberg is tolerable in plenty of roles, but I really thought it was a joke for the majority of the movie. Even up until the end and then got bitch slapped into realization with, "That's it?!"
Then again, I've had people tell me a movie was bad and then ultimiately ended up ejoying it, so don't let this change your mind if you were set on seeing it - not that I imagine it would have anyway.
The premise of this movie was absolutely retarded!! And the acting was ok at best...but like you said everyone has their own opinions!!
