This movie fails... But Rosario Dawson absolutely stole my heart, and then broke it... The finest work I've ever seen her do...

This started off with me thinking "WHAT!!!!" but I persevered and I quite enjoyed it in the end. once I worked out what it was about anyway.

It's like The Machinist , a movie about the the weight of our actions on our conscience. The story is captivating, the directing good and the performances are great. unlike the Machinist its quite predictable and in a movie like this which tries to shock and reveal the truth in the finale it's dissappointing. The Machinist is far supperior , more darker and mysterious but Seven Pounds is worth to watch too.

Superb movie! Great acting all around, this movie will thug at your heart and leave you in tears at the end.

A sappy, melodrama that attempts to manipulate the audience's emotions. But it seemed to forget to flesh out the characters before trying to manipulate those emotions. Will Smith is the only good part of the movie, where he plays an average performance that doesn't feel any different from his other roles.

With too much hype and expectations for a masterpiece, This sappy, melodramatic and ultimately boring film: Seven Pounds ends up falling down flat on its face. While there's some good revealing secrets, a decent performance from fan-favorite acting veteran Will Smith and a actually good script, Seven Pounds is just a major disappointment that tries to be emotional and in the process it becomes a repetitive, formulalic and tedious movie.

First of the movie is far too long. It does have its goods but not a lot. The movie is predictable all through out. Will Smith gave a decent performance. Guess the movie was made with an intention for the Oscars but was way behind in that department. If you want to watch it it is bearable.

A bit slow but the story is quite powerful and heart-touching. Having the power to make a difference, a profound difference into people's life is something just a few dare to do.

Overwhelming in its lack of real emotion.

So melodramatic and boring. Some of Will Smith's worst work.

JackDurden said what I feel already: "This movie was really hard to watch. I think a better effort to introduce the story and Will Smith's character would have been much appreciated, we don't really know anything until the last 15 minutes of the film. Those last 15 minutes were easily the best parts of the film, and the most watchable, everything else was either really frustrating or boring."

A movie made to make women cry. I was crying inside not because it made me sad, but because it was so painfuly manipulative, obviuos and urealistic. And Will Smith - such a great actor. He totaly nailed that character-with-deep-pain-inside role with his constipated chihuahua facial expression.

Though it would have hooked me a bit faster were it not so completely ambiguous, overall this proved to be a pretty decent film. Although Will Smith seems to fluctuate between ice king and Mother Teresa incarnate, overall he does a nice job, and Rosario Dawson is pleasantly fierce. Unfortunately, the film turned out to be more predictable than I had thought, but definitely good for a few Kleenex.

Rosario Dawson showed that she can be a star (find a good role in a romance and her career could really explode).

Very moving.

If you're going to make a movie so melodramatic, the least you could do is actually get the audience to care about the characters. Ugh.

ugh totally sappy, contrived, not realistic, and how does he know Ezra would want them in the first place?!

Boring, in fact, everyone in the film seem bored to be in it or making it. Everything is flat and uninteresting and the OMG BIG TWIST is lame as fuck. It tries so hard to be heartfelt and emotional but every possible scene is so forced.

This is one of those movies you can't enjoy until the final sequence of the film. Good news? The ending is amazing. Bad news? The ending is probably 1/20th of the film.
