Movie Reviews of The Happening
Movie Review: He's More Amazing Than Others Realize...
Summary: 5 Stars
I think many veiwers don't understand M. Nights style. when i first heard about this film i was hugely excited. then as i got more information on the film i wasn't sure if it was going to be good. i thought ,before seeing the film, that it seemed out of his element and maybe even a little cliche. i didnt think i'd enjoy the film at all at this point but decided to go see it to support him.
i LOVED it!!! i was so surprised! at the beginning of the movie i wasn't sure where he was going but it all came together and screamed amazing! i'm not a huge mark walburgh fan but after thinking about it for awhile i was glad he chose him. this film, although rated low by others because of lack of understanding of his style, is amazing. you should at least view it once and give it a chance. i did.
Movie Review: Socio-Political Commentary...
Summary: 5 Stars
I think I totally understood this movie,yet I am not sure,possibly I overthink things,but it seemed obvious to me.I believe as w/all M.Knight's movies there is an underlying theme which if people aren't willing to put any thought into a movie it will easily be missed.I believe it's about the state of affairs in the world after 9-11.Fear and Paranoia running rampant.The "disease" if you can call it that starts in NYC/Central Park(Where the 1st attacks took place) then spreads like a Virus,starting w/metropolitan areas then spreading to the small towns.The thing that stops the "Disease" spreading is when Love for another overcomes the Fear and Paranoia(Farmhouse scene).Also,the End,starts anew in a different Country,coincidence that it starts in our Allies in Iraq War's Country???Hmmmm....Movie Review: It's Blowing in the WInd...

The HappeningI saw "The Happening" in the theatre, because I see every new M. Night Shyamalan movie when it comes out. I've never been disappointed. I think "The Happening" is his best movie since "Signs", despite many reviews to the contrary. It has beautiful cinematography and sound that actually helps to move the story along and bits of Night's trademark wit, like apologizing to the plastic plant. He's talking about the abuse of the planet, here, and most people are too wrapped up in what they expect from entertainment to get it. It's about the planet fighting back, and what our helpness would be in the face of that. In that sense, it is very frightening.Movie Review: actually, his best so far ...
Summary: 5 Stars
i was quite impressed w/ the sixth sense, tho i figured out the ending abt 45 minutes before it (the end) happened. it was still extremely well done. his later movies went downhill fast. i watched everything except the lady in the lake, which was too terrible to watch. i/d heard abt the script for this movie before it was made, and it was being pushed as his big comeback. well, to me, it was. the movie started out weird, and went with it. yes, there/s a sorta 50/s feel to the idea that the plants are after us. no special effects - works really well. remember hitchcock, people ? the silences are scarier than the screams ?
it isn/t quite a classic, but it is better than the jump on the director when he/s down crew give credit for.
Movie Review: See It For Yourself
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great movie! One happening after another. It doesn't let up. Night gives us images that no other movie has ever displayed. It's a dark movie, sometimes scary, always mesmerizing, and utterly groundbreaking. I was transfixed throughout. "The Happening" kept me wondering what would happen next and didn't let me until the credits rolled. The premise of nature's mysteries running amok, there not being an answer for everything that happens in the world satisfied my movie-watching experience, and my sense of artistry. I cannot grasp why people canned this movie. I guess the old adage is true; it takes all kinds to keep the world spinning 'round. Two thumbs up for originality!
