I thought it was decent. It was actually a little bit disturbing to me, but I can understand where the people who hate it are coming from. Most were expecting more blood since it was his first R rated movie, and I'm just thinking "people really only go to movies for the blood?" I thought it was a good story. I'd put it somwhere in the middle of Shamylan's films.
my list of shamylan from worst to best:
Praying with Anger
The Village
Lady in the Water
Wide Awake
The Happening
Unbreakable
Signs
6th Sense

So today i went to see the happening.
Woo hoo new M Night Shyamalan movie or so we thought. The movie was front to end was full of bad acting a crap plot and the dumbest dialog you have ever heard.
There was a great cast including Mark Wahlberg , Zooey Deschanel , & John Leguizamo.
But it did not matter cause they did the worst job you have ever seen just bad bad acting that was just very unbelievable. And dialog throughout the movie was even worse then the acting. They would say things such as "Oh cheese & crackers whats going on here" or "You know what hot dogs have a bad rep i mean whats not to like they have a good shape and they taste great ... do you like hot dogs?"
And they would say all this with a strait face and they also said that it was HAPPENING like 20 times i mean why name drop the movie in the movie.
And then the plot that was all about how plants & trees were putting out a vapor or something that was making people stop whatever they were doing and kill themselves (yeah i would hate to piss off a ficus). And at the end of the movie the coolest part in most M. Night Shyamalan movies it just showed that it was 3 months after the plant riot and showed 2 guys on a news show talking about it.
One guy said why do you think it happend the other guy says i think its because we need to start treating nature better cause we se what it can do when it gets sick of us messing with it... Yeah it was effing message movie i think al gore was involved. Anyway dont waist your movey going to see this in theaters wait till it comes out on DVD and rent it and even then wait till you have a free rental.

Caught this one again in Cable tv last night. The second time made me appreciate the story a little bit more than before. Yeah, the acting and dialogue could use a good tune up. For a moment in this film I thought it was Katy Perry (her acting and music are goddam awful) but to my surprise it was another singer chick...not saying much either...
Anywhoo...the first 1/2 hour gets so-so for me. But right about the time they get off the train the suspence comes to play...and I gotta admit it there were moments which were pretty intense...but nothing extreme.
So I'm bumping the rating from 2 out of 5 to.....2 1/2 out of 5. You might enjoy it the second time...only if you're not bore or don't have anything to do but sit down in the couch and be lazy.
This was one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen. Shame, because I use to be a big M. Night fan. But the Village was bad, and Lady in the Water was watchable, but not very good, but this takes the cake. People running from [SPOILER - highlight to read]: wind AND beating it is f*cking retarded.
