Capone's review on main page


"I truly could not conceive of a world where anyone would allow a film this poorly made to be released"


Youch

double youch!.

and

Unfortunately, the finished film feels more like the sloppy, chunky afterbirth of a message film from a man who used to impress me as a filmmaker. I truly hope this is as bad as it ever gets from Shyamalan. This is the kind of movie that kills careers; it certain murdered my spirit for most of a day. It's almost worth seeing just to see how poorly executed every aspect of the work is, but even I'm not that much of a sadist to say that's a reason to watch any movie

the twist ending is that the killer is actually robert plant.

[so sorry]

the twist ending is that the killer is actually robert plant.

HAHAHA!!!!

Wow, that good!

Clearly it will be behind the green CGI this weekend, but I'm curious if it will even take 2nd place.

Remember M. Knight as he once was, dazzling us with "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable".

You forgot the easiest one of all:

New M. Night Movie Blows.

[Chairman Kaga]

Anyone remember a movie from the 70s (I think it was made for TV) where every dog in the world turn evil and they wanted to kill Leslie Nielson or something?

It was called called "Day of the Animals" (incidently the animals go wild due to the depleted Ozone layer). You can currently pick it up in an excellent boxset with Grizzly and Devil Dog.

[WinslowLeach]

"Airbender! Break Like The Wind!"

[Lurker Johnson]

Whoa... Total re-design on the Zone.

Not sure if I like the difference, but hell, things change right?

I just wanted to tell you guys to NOT see this flick.

It's just bad. Like, almost laughably bad.

I saw it at the drive-in, and my friends and I couldn't stop ourselves from poking fun.

To any M. Night defenders, sorry but its shite.

EDT: grammar faux-pas

[Pacino86845]

Wow, this is now the second time this year I'm writing to urge you guys NOT TO WATCH THIS BLOODY FILM!!

Even with his failures (and there have been more failures than successes on Shyamalan's filmography), there were always certain qualities among those films that kept them from being utter disasters. But not this time. The Happening IS an unhinged assault on the art of cinema, from conception to completion. I didn't like The Village, Signs, or Lady in the Water, but they each some elements I could appreciate, but I simply regret having watched The Happening.

Also a couple of scenes were staged like it was 100% amateur hour at Shamalamadingdong productions, and in one statically-framed shot, that should have been dense with tension, there was a very distracting boom mic bobbing in and out of the shot repeatedly. Everyone in the theater started cracking up.

The Happening gets the very rare 1/10 (Lowest Score Possible) outta me. Seriously, if you're curious go read some spoilers, there's nothing salvageable in this film that would make you feel that you didn't waste all your money.

[WinslowLeach]

N Might Sham is heading into the Brett Crapner, Toilet Boll group it seems. The Toxicly Terrible Trio!

[Chairman Kaga]

I'm no Ratner fan but his movies are just tremendously medicore rather than the complete crap of Boll's films.

[yorrick brown]

i just really hope marky mark finds out what happened to the bees,he looked very upset about it.

[Ribbons]

I do have to say Night made a joke in the end credits that gave me chuckle; he's listed as "Joey," a "character" who calls Zooey Deschanel's cell phone but who's never actually seen or heard in the movie. After all the flak he's (justifiably) gotten for giving himself unduly huge roles, I thought it was a canny bit of self-deprecation.

Ha,i`m guessing he learnt his lesson from LADY IN THE WATER.

Whats this scene people are talking about with a lion attack,sounds like its one of those so bad its funny scenes lol !?.

Yeah, M. Night's unintentionally funny ratio has gone up with each film (well, maybe this is a step down from Lady in the Water, actually).

[buster00]

This thread needs more Zooey Deschanel.



MUCH more.

[Fried Gold]

This thread needs more Zooey Deschanel.

I think it's mediocre enough already.

Well, here's the best song off her album...

Thanks for the heads up.

Now that REALLY makes me want to see that film. I'm going to have to pick a quiet night with a few friends, go the cinema tanked up and pull a MST3K on this.

You've made it sound really really REALLY bad, considering you do try to find the good side in most things.

Is this so bad it's bad, or so bad it's good?

[Pacino86845]

Man it was an embarrassing film to watch... like I said, even when I didn't like Shyamalan's films I could find something to appreciate. But not here... I think Capone nailed it really well with his review.

[papalazeru]

Would you rather do a Boll all-nighter?

[Fried Gold]

i just really hope marky mark finds out what happened to the bees,he looked very upset about it.

Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

That was all I could think about when he kept talking about the bees.

[Maui]

Shamlamading dong productions!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

That is hilarious, good one Pacino!

This movie is a huge TURD!!!!! I didn't pay to see this, this was a theatre sneak, THANK GOD!!!

I laughed in the theatre, wait, this isn't a comedy. Mood rings, hot dogs, cheese and crackers, group huddles that are of the quality of a bad high school play.

This movie is so freakin' bad, it is absolutely horrible. It's like watching a cast of Haydens.

I walked out of the theatre and the trees were blowing around in the parking lot. Damn you M. Knight - now I can never look at a tree blowing in the wind again, without thinking about your ridiculous movie.

Also, was this supposed to be scary?

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, enough with the bees. I assume a high school science teacher knows all the answers to everything, yeah right.

John Leguz. was probably the only good thing in this film and they had to ruin that with this lame ass shot of him driving away in the jeep, in slo mo too. Bah!

0 out of 10

"0 out of 10" LOL!

[papalazeru]

This is now compulsory viewing for me.

It's getting Zeros from the Zoners....must let my vote count.

[Maui]

"0 out of 10" LOL!

That would be a first for me, giving a movie a "0". I should probably give it a "1" though because it made me laugh, even if it wasn't supposed to be funny.

[yorrick brown]

i still want to see it for these scenes of marky mark talking to a pot plant and this lion attack scene?.

[Maui]

Talking to the plant was not funny, alot of people laughed in the theatre at that scene BUT those were the same people that screamed at the doll on the bed scene, so .....you know.

The lion attack scene was hilarious, not meant to be though. I was the only one laughing. The guy holds out his arm (an obvious fake one) ..then gets them both chomped off. The 'happening' people watch this on a video phone in horror. That entire scene was just so stupid it was funny.

I keep asking myself, did I get this movie all wrong. Is this movie really a dark B comedy. M. Knight has us all fooled?!?!?!?

I laughed at parts that were not meant to be funny, when M. Knight was trying to be funny, I just rolled my eyes.

That tears it - guess I'll go see Hulk again.
Will this be the stake in Night's film-making heart?
How many turds in a row can one self delusional hack get produced anyway?

[Bob Samonkey]

It had the jumpy moments I've come to expect from an M.Night film, but it lacked the twisted ending I desperately wanted. Still a good comedy though! Go see it for yourself!

I thought that was funny...

I really want to know what Joey had for dessert? What about the rest of you guys that saw "The Crappening".

these problems are almost always due to faulty framing by the projectionist. are you sure it wasn't that? it's hard to imagine a film in this day and age getting through all the editing and post-production and the million or so different eyes that see the film before it's released with a problem as obvious as that. especially when it would be an easy thing to fix with CGI or at least an alternate take.

[Pacino86845]

Really? I didn't know that could happen w/ projectionists? How do they screw it up? Like they get the film 1:33:1 and they have to set it to the correct aspect ratio by aligning it?

[Maui]

I just continue to think of more lameness this movie has to offer.

The scene at the house that is sealed up. The rifle poking through the window and blasting those two kids.

I'd like to nominate the Maple tree with the swing attached for best performance by an actor, for the 2008 Oscars.

Yeah, I don't know the withertos and the whyfores, but it is a problem that sometimes occurs as the result of a projection gaff. I remember when I went to see some movie about two years ago, you could see boom mics in all of the trailers.

Well, I think more appropriate would be The Wind winning for best comedic special effect.

There is this one scene where the wind picks up and the grass really starts to move extremely fast towards the people running on the field, it just looks so funny. God this movie is awful. I know Pacino encourages you NOT to see it, but seriously, it's worth seeing for the awfulness which is funny. Did that make sense? I was actually going to walk out of the theatre, but I'm glad I stayed because it was just so freakin' amusing to watch.
