Thorin Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 91 minutes of my life I can never get back His worst film yet, and that's saying something, why do people even give this guy the time of day any more I've no idea. Appalling, boring, poor plot, crap ending, bad acting (not helped by the terrible lines they were given). Avoid at all cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Doh. Was wanting to see that, hoping it'd be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I watched it last night also. Again, i thought the idea was ok but it was terribly executed. The girl couldn't act worth a damn and that was probably her looking her best next to bloody marky mark. Why does he always end up in roles where the character is meant to be intelligent? He can't pull it off, he looks thick and he acts thick. I found some parts laughable, like how come everyone they met were fruitcakes. I don't think it was so bad that i want the time back but it wasn't a good movie by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I was going to see this on saturday and couldnt find one solitary good word said anywhere about it, so went to see gone baby gone which was tres bon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I watched this friday and also have the same opinion, when the film first started i thought it was going to be really good, oh how wrong i was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Kenny Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I didn't hate it, but I'm not bothered about seeing it again. There were a couple of really good moments, but my overall impression was that he had an idea for a film and then didn't really know how to stretch it out to fill a whole film...

AndrewOW Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 ...fruitcakes. ... Yum. I'm hungry. I thought The Village was bad enough. He seems to be a one trick pony, and only really pulled it off in Sixth Sense. Signs wasn't too bad though. I'll not be rushing out to watch this then!

Nic Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Agree just watched, very poor. Shame I was looking forward to it, as the trailer seemed good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargo Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 watched it saturday, good idea, badly executed, i like marky mark but agree with what was said above in that this was the wrong role for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonlady Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Gotta agree went to see it on Friday and was bored out of my mind. Any way a word to the wise - beware of the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiceRocket Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 91 minutes of my life I can never get back His worst film yet, and that's saying something, Avoid at all cost. Oh dear that bad and only really pulled it off in Sixth Sense. Signs wasn't too bad though. I'll not be rushing out to watch this then! And Unbreakable was good. I've noticed since Signs (3rd movie) there's no A-list actors in his films since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I had such high hopes for this Is it really that bad? It is truly shocking. It's amazing how someone can make each new film worse than the previous. I'd rather watch an extended four hour version of the party scene from Cloverfield than watch The Happening again.

Gaz Walker Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I really couldn't believe the 1 star review it got in a paper the other day, now I know why. Glad I read this thread as I was going to see it tonight! Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I liked the party bit in cloverfield for one reason. No, not one of the manufactured identical prettygirls, for me it was a "The Stand" moment. If you've ever read The Stand, it takes forever to get going, as it follows the rise and fall of the protagonist in the music industry. In fact, you get so involved in him getting famous, and doing too much too soon and getting burnt fingers and burnt out in general, that when, just as he's getting his life back on track, you get the actual plotline kick in it's quite a shock. So just as I was thinking about how this guy in cloverfield is cocking up his relationships and so on and so forth, the lights go out and I'm shocked back to "Uh oh this isn't going to be good". My mind had wandered from the actual premise of the film so it was a good effect to get "dropped in it" as it were. Great film, truly great. Shame there are so many handycam style ones coming out suddenly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
